Checking yourself into a mental hospital can make sense during an acute crisis, when you cannot stay safe, or when severe symptoms overwhelm outpatient care.

For cats with kidney disease, urinary disorders, or other medical conditions, discuss the choice with a veterinarian before making a major diet change.
