I always feel like I am probably bothering someone when I text them. I feel like my coworkers are polite to me and friendly to each other - like I am always walking into conversations (and probably butting in/being nosy or creepily eavesdropping) but never being part of a conversational beginning.

Dehydration is a bigger causative factor. Even cats on a super premium diet can get crystals if the urine specific gravity is too high. The more moisture in a cat’s diet, the lower the specific gravity, and the lower the risk of crystals.

This. This is key. 3-6oz daily canned food for the average cat, 9-12 oz daily for cats with urinary issues. No dry ever again for cats with urinary blockages! (LVT for 20+ years, feline LVT for 15)
