Note: My cat frothed white foam at the mouth for a minute right after he swallowed about 1/2 teaspoon of acv, no mix, just straight. I reccommed adding it to the food, water and the cats fur so they can lick it off and ingest it.
I added some to his Purina dry food and his water dish too. About a teaspoon between both.
I've been giving him Apple Cider Vinegar about 3 times a day. Wednesday, Thursday he did not urinate at all, today, Friday, he peed for about 4 minutes with NO crystals! There was a white foam on top of the urine which did not concern me, no crystals there.
I bought some canned tuna in water, and am mixing the Apple Cider Vinegar in with that. I also added a concentrated cranberry pill to his water (it disolves).
I gave him 3 syringes of water last night and about 3 minutes later he had a bowel movement that looked like 3 days worth.
This stuff works and it works fast so if you're in need of another opinion, and are skeptical like I was, it just works.
My cat is male about 5 years old and goes outdoors on a regular basis. He's feeling much better right now and I am changing his food from Purina to something else, not sure what yet, but not Iams.
Best of luck to you and your cat.

Explained he was trying to pee only a bit came out.. the first thing he said was *Ok, this can cost 4 to 5 hundred dollars* the very first thing, didn't ask any questions at all! Said he was blocked and had to be drained.
Did a search and found you guys!!! :D It was a Saturday later in the evening everything was closed. Luckily my sis had some ACV she uses for heartburn.. Gave him some in his food and wiped some on his scruff and paws.. Ta-da.. Peeing kitty :)

So I came across this website. I just wanna start by saying Thank You, from the bottom of my heart, for every single post. I put Chester on the Urinary so wet food, he was on dry only but drinking a lot of water, the dry food was from the vet, some diabetes food, they said it was a weight control diet. That night, I started the ACV mixed with water. It was a store brand, nothing organic which I incorporated into his wet food. I also added less than a cap full in their water. That was at about 4pm, I awoke at 5:45am from a bad dream and Thought about Chester, I opend the door of my room and he came running to me as usual, I pet him and he went straight to the little box, this time I heard it. It wasn't the usual puddle but it was about 15 drops compaired to 2, I was so pleased, I went back to bed. When I woke up for good he was back to normal, the litter was more full but Boxer also shares the same one. I know he couldnt have filled it all by himself so I was happy. I kept giving him the diluted ACV maybe 4 times a day with a bit of food and spring water instead of feeding him twice a day like I normally do. He visited the litter box with a few drops from time to time, but less often sometimes 20 drops.
As long as I saw an improvement, I was satisfied. Mind you, I kept checking his Bladder to make sure it wasn't hard or painful to him, its seemed fine, he was eating, I kept going with the treatment. Day 3, much better mood and I would rarely see him go, litter box was still full in the morning when I'd wake up. During the day, everytime one of my cat would visit the box, I would go empty it to keep track. I will continue him on the same wet food as Boxer with a mix of dry food of the same exact brand to avoid constipation and will add the ACV for about 2 weeks or so but gradualy decrease the amount. I will add it to the food maybe once a week, just a little bit, as a preventative measure. ACV and all your posts saved my cat from this and spared by Visa. I am so grateful. I would really recommend ACV for this problem, but always keep an eye on your kitty's progress.

So now it's 10pm and she has only gone for the litter box/newpaper once in the last 4 hours. Since she was going every 15 minutes last night, I'd say that's a remarkable improvement. Question for others: although I see everyone's testimonials listed, I don't see any actual recipe/advice on how to use ACV from the owner of this site. Am I missing something? I read about 20 postings and put together my own plan based on common stories. I plan to post again in a few days with an update. Thank you all!!

Purchased the ACV "with the mother" from the grocery store and a few cans of wet food, (which my cats think are a real treat) and added 1/4 teaspoon to 1/2 teaspoon water and mixed with a small amount of food. The small amount of ACV was a bit overwealming smell wise and at first she was not about it, so I added a touch more food until I couldnt detect the smell anymore. She ate it, cautiously, but got it down none the less. Followed Friday with three more ACV mixes in a 24 hour period. Little change in her behavior, but she didnt seem in pain and a little less nervous. Two more treatments on Saturday and then just now I heard her in her litter box and she was finally able to release and she seemed just as relived as I was. I pray that this is the cure she needed but will continue with this routine for a few more days just to make sure.
Thank you all so much for your feedback on this matter and I am now a believer in the wonderful benefits of ACV! Thanks to all the cat lovers who saved my cat from a lot of pain but also so much stress for myself!

I have given her 1/4 tsp ACV in wet food 3 times now, and also Vitamin C powder and will continue to do so. Thanks to all fellow kitty lovers for posting (and check out "Simon's Cat" on You Tube if you want a laugh)! He has really nailed kitty behavior in his animation. And one last tidbit -- anyone who has outside cats they also take care of in cold weather, check out Snuggle Safe discs that go in microwave and stay warm for 8-10 hours. Heat according to your microwave wattage and tuck in their bed/blankets. They will LOVE you even more. God speed --
