Zusammenfassung:Urine composition and characteristics are directly related to the diet of cats and because the natural diet is difficult to characterize, it is difficult to establish "normal" reference values. By measuring the various constituents and characteristics of feral cats' urine it is possible to provide a set of baseline data for the evaluation of urinary compositional characteristics of domestic cats fed commercial pet foods.
