Cats can suffer from urinary tract issues,as they get older. Cats in the wild get a lot of their fluid from eating prey animals. However, you need to monitor your cat’s fluid intake. Ensure your cat gets plenty of fluid in her diet for good urinary tract health. Dry kibble is convenient but canned meat gives your cat much more fluid. Check that your cat has access to clean, fresh water at all times. Watch for signs of urinary tract issues.These symptoms include straining in the litter box, too little or too much urine, evidence of blood, or urinating outside the litter box. Urinary tract issues can get very serious very quickly so seek medical help quickly if your cat experiences any of these symptoms. Keep your regular well cat appointments, including urinalysis as needed. For more information, make a visit to your Aurora, CO veterinarian.
