Why is the Urinary Health of My Cat Important?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The urinary system of your cat, which includes the bladder and kidneys, works to process as well as remove any waste products from his body. If there are problems in your cat\u2019s kidneys<\/a>, it cannot remove waste products anymore. Bladder problems might include stones, inflammation, and the worst is urinary obstruction. These problems can eventually affect the overall comfort and health of your cat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why Do Some Cats Suffer from Urinary Problems?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Naturally, cats are descended from mammals who are desert-dwelling and whose requirement to consume water was very low. This instinctive behavior is a major factor in the predisposition of cats to urinary problems since they usually drink less as well as urinate less frequently compared to what is ideal for their new current lifestyle as companion pets in a more modern environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, there are also other factors that can affect the likelihood of your feline friend suffering from problems in his urinary system. Obese or overweight cats are more likely at risk in developing cystitis or the inflammation of feline urinary organs, urine obstructions, and urolithiasis. Aside from that, neutered kitties also have a greater risk of developing crystals and stones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Feline idiopathic cystitis where there is no specific underlying cause can be affected by several diverse lifestyle factors such as indoors or sedentary living, environments with very little stimulation for your kitty, and even a litterbox that\u2019s difficult to access or poorly placed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n [spoiler title=’Click to Watch the Video: How to Tell if Your Cat Has a Bladder Infection’ style=”orange”]<\/p>\n\n\n\n
