Even if you've given up, I think it's worth giving it a try.

Kim-san has been on a maintenance diet since he developed a small amount of struvite when he was 1 year old. It has been really hard to collect urine for urine tests.
Problem 1: When you try to collect a urine sample, you realize that something is going to happen and end up holding it in⁡
Problem 2: The hind legs are closed, so the butt is flat on the sand, so it is difficult to insert the container⁡Problem 3: The cat is too fluffy, so it is impossible to see where the gold is, and the target is missed.The Nyampling that I used at such times is a urine collection and measurement kit that can be used by both cats and dogs. I tried inserting the container on a whim, and it was a great success! The container is soft and elastic, so it can be inserted firmly to the back so that it can slide smoothly into the narrow gap between the hind legs. It is a cat-friendly container with no corners, hard, or cold, so it does not hurt even if you insert it a little tightly, so the owner was able to go ahead and do it with peace of mind. The size can be adjusted by cutting it. Another point is that the receiving area is large! You don't have to move it out of position. It is also helpful that the bottom is flat and can be placed.⁡As you can see, the container is pure white, so it is easy to check the color and impurities, and the amount can be measured by the step on the inside. In addition, it is convenient to record the results in a photo on your smartphone and compare them with past data. This kit also comes with a container that you can take to the hospital. This time, I was able to collect fresh urine for the first time in a while, so I took the opportunity to use half of it in the kit and have the other half tested at the hospital.
[Measurement results with the kit] ① Visually, there seem to be no impurities. ② The yellow is a little darker than the safety color of the urine checker. ③ When measured with the included pH test paper, the pH was 6.0.
[Hospital test results] 1. No impurities or findings of particular concern 2. Color: No problems 3. pH value: 6.0 In general, there were no problems as confirmed by the kit.
According to the doctor at the hospital, if possible, more accurate results can be obtained by collecting urine directly without filtering it with sand, etc., so I would like to continue using Nyanpling for regular testing in the future.
Nyanpling is in a properly sealed bag, and the test paper is well preserved and hygienic, so you can trust it. You can easily collect urine and measure it at home, and it's clear that it was developed with safety and stress for cats in mind. Even Kim, who had such a hard time, was able to collect the sample more easily than she had imagined, so even if you've given up, I think it's worth a try. (Quoted from Instagram, excerpts and edited)
