Cats and Bladder Stones (The Feniska Base) Guest Post

 FROM CAT AND DOG CHAT WITH CAREN: As many of you know about a year and a half ago or so our Roary had bladder stone surgery.    Thankfully,  at this time, all is well. When I was contacted by Andrej from Feniska asking if I would feature their Kickstarter campaign for their new product, which will benefit cats by monitoring their toilet visits, I agreed to. Because it hit so close to home I  told him I did not need to receive payment for this guest post. Please read this important information. Thank you!

From Worrying Sick for Her Own Cat to Vowing to Never Let Another Cat Go Through the Same Experience as Her Django

For many of us, our cats are more than just pets—they’re family. That’s why it’s so heartbreaking when they suffer in silence, hiding their pain like the secretive little furballs they are. This is exactly what happened to Sonita, co-founder of Feniska, and her beloved cat Django.

Django


Django developed bladder stones, a painful condition that went undetected until it was almost too late. Like many cats, he didn’t show any obvious signs until the condition had become severe. Watching him suffer, Sonita felt helpless and heartbroken. It was a life-changing moment that led her to vow: that no other cat parent should have to go through the same experience.

Sonita and Django


Determined to find a way to monitor cats’ health more effectively, Sonita created the Feniska Base. This smart device keeps track of your cat’s toilet visits and weight, warning early about potential health issues. It’s designed to be a simple but powerful tool for cat parents who want to stay one step ahead of any problems their cats might face.

Why the Feniska Base Is a Lifesaver

We all know how sneaky our little furballs can be. They can hide in the tiniest places, and unfortunately, they’re just as good at hiding their health problems. That’s where the Feniska Base comes in. If your kitty is making more trips to the litter box than usual or losing weight, the Feniska Base will alert you via your smartphone. It’s like having a mini vet at home!

This tracker isn’t just about convenience; it’s about peace of mind. Protecting our babies and saving expensive vet treatment costs. For Sonita, it means that Django’s suffering wasn’t in vain. It means she’s helping other cat parents avoid the same heartache she felt. And for all the cat parents out there, it’s a way to keep your fur babies healthy—because we know they deserve nothing less!

  5. Not all cat owners understand how important it is to monitor litter box habits. Frequent litter box maintenance isn't just about keeping things tidy, it's about knowing when something out of the ordinary is going on. Hopefully this helps some people keep better tabs on their cat's health.

  8. Oh, wow. After surgery to remove her liver tumor, Ellie started peeing double what she had before. The vet school we went to couldn't figure out why. The one we went to for a second opinion on chemo identified that she's not concentrating her urine - likely a loss of kidney function due to anesthesia. If she hadn't just had surgery (I monitored everything closely), I might not have noticed the change. This product sounds incredibly useful!
