argh, it posted before it was ready and spellcheked! arghhh... Anyway, as I was saying, we tried with the special food for FUS (Feline Urinary Syndrome), and it didn't work. It was very expensive even with the discount (hubby is a veterinarian). It did work for a while, but finally he started having problems again.
So, we tried other alternatives: grounded meat (didn't work either), chicken, the food cans, etc. Finally what worked best was cow's lungs (here is called bofe). It's been staple food for cats before the dried food became popular here. Anyway, we discovered it worked because it has a low protein count, which was what ultimately affected Miki (my cat). Dried food has high protein count, among other things, and grounded meat does too, as most kinds of meats. If your cat has protein intake problems as the basis for his problems you might want to be aware of this.
Then you have anchovies and sardines. Both have high salt concentration and since they are fish, I doubt your cat would reject them. Though with cats you never now, because changing eating habits of a cat is Very. Hard. Work.
My cat likes olives, they have high salt concentrations if they have been kept in brine. I find his tastes weird, but if you try it and your cat doesn't like olives like mine does, well, you can always have them yourself.
