While we are talking about problems from cats, I heard a story that might help someone you know.  A client said she had repeated kidney infections all her youth, till she went off to college.  Then never again.  She mentioned this to a dr who asked did they have a catbox in the house growing up.  She said yes, and her mom made the kids empty it.  He said he'd noticed that people with lots of kidney infections always had a cat box in the house.  The woman I know with repeated kidney infections for year, you smell cat pee first thing on entering the house.  About 20 cats these days, but only about 3 cats back when she was at her worst.   Donna
