Jones BR, Sanson RL, Morris RS. Elucidating the risk factors of feline urologic syndrome. New Zealand Veterinary Journal 1997; 45: 100-108. And yes, most likely it is due to them not wanting to go outside but we all know how unreliable anecdote can be! [quote user="Martin Atkinson"]

[quote user="Anne Seawright"]A study on the epidemiology of FIC found number of days with rainfall to be significant.... We have certainly had a lot of that in the last few weeks!

Could you post the reference please

[/quote] Idon't think you need a reference for that surely it is just due to the cats not wanting to go out being stressed and corking it up before using the tray.

Sounds just like London Bus Syndrome to me.

Never heard it called that before but will definitely be using it from now on!!

I'd just be glad you're so your busy (or your employer should be). At least you'll be an expert in urology! I once saw 2 cats and a dog with ruptured/torn corneas one after the other one evening out of hours and I am by no means a busy practice. Sounds just like London Bus Syndrome to me.

I always think there is more this time of year as the weather changes and more cats spend more time indoors, holding in urine, developing sludge etc and become blocked. We had a spate of 3 cats beginning of October! None since *fingers crossed*
