Idea Exchange: Catch urine samples with popcorn kernels
Orville Redenbacher probably never imagined this method of at-home urine sample collection.
To make it easier for owners to catch feline urine samples at home, we suggest they replace their cats' litter boxes with a clean box filled with unpopped popcorn kernels. The popcorn is similar to kitty litter in texture but doesn't absorb urine. After a cat uses this litter box, the owners can easily pour the urine into a container and then bring it to the clinic for analysis. We have had great success with this method.
