reccommends fine, but my tiger was so bad we thought we would lose
him, he has now been crystal/infection free for over five years on a

There are people who smoke heavily all their lives like my mother who
died at 90, and never get lung cancer.

You too, huh? - My mom started smoking at 15 and quit when she was 90
because "they are too expensive". She went on to live to 97. So she
smoked for 75 years! When I tell doctors that, it blows them away!

If it blew them away, they were not very good doctors.
Individual variation and resilience plays a very big role in human and
cat health. Risk factors are important only for the mediocre,
susceptible part of the population, that would have gotten the disease
easily anyway. Fit, healthy, genetically advanced individuals (cats that
we would like to have, humans that we should strive to mate with) do not
care about risk factors. And if they succumb to them - well, they were
not that superior to begin with, and their loss is indicative, if painful.
