Anyone have a cat that has had a UTI?

Question

Adopted our fur baby about a year ago, she had just turned 4, now she’s about to turn 5. A few weeks after we got her she started peeing outside her litter box, took her to vet, it was a UTI, they treated it. It’s been about 10-11 months since then and she has been peeing outside her box, so I made an appointment. A lot of my family has cats and they’ve never had this issue, should I be concerned that this is linked to something more serious? :(

Answer

UTIs are very painful. Sometimes they associate the pain with the litterbox and become afraid to use it. I would have her urine tested again to make sure infection hasn't returned. If it hasn't I would assume this is her problem.

Answer

It could be the food she is on causing her to be more prone to them. They have social cat food to help with cats with bladder issues. It’s pricy but does work.

Answer

the kitty could associate the litter box with pain now, try putting out and an extra one out with different i scented litter

Answer

My cat is prone to them. But that is because he is diabetic so naturally has more sugar in his urine which is the perfect opportunity for a UTI.

Answer

Buy Purina one Urinary tract health! And keep the cat on it. Unfortunately if they get them once they are prone to keep getting them. Our cat had one years ago and we have been giving him that food since and he has not gotten another one since. We actually buy two separate kinds one urinary tract health and one tastier kind so that he doesn’t get bored with his food. We just mix them together in the tub. But it’s important to always feed them the Urinary Tract food to keep them healthy if they’ve had one!

Answer

My cat has had them too. Some cats are just prone to them and crystals. She’s on a prescription food and I use scent free/dust free litter as well as have several boxes for her to choose from.

Answer

Poor baby and poor you. It’s so stressful! Do you have her on the precription diet? My cat gets crystals and he’s had to be on the special diet since the first week I got him. You have to watch the ash content in the food you feed. There’s an otc purina that’s good for bladder health too and supplements.
