Googling bladder stones and glancing anxiously at my sad cat.

Someone talk me out of feeding the poor guy green tea.

What food are you feeding them?

He if likes it, it might not be a bad idea ... as far as I can tell the more that cats drink, the less likely they are to to have blockages. At any rate, anytime I've known someone with a cat with stone problems, their vet has been insistent on getting the kitty to drink more.

And, fwiw, there's at least one local cat specialist who suggests cranberries as being good for some cats with stone probs ... you need to know whether the stones are alkaline or acid produced, if the former then cranberry extract helps, if the latter, then not.

DON'T DO IT.

Tea leaves contain theobromine. Theobromine is even more toxic to cats than it is to dogs - it's just not usually a problem because cats aren't as interested in scarfing down their people's chocolate.
