Is Your Cat Taking The Pee?
We all like our own space and cats are no different from us human animals in that regard. Cats will pee or more correctly, urinate or spray, to mark their territory or merely because they are disturbed. Sometimes it may be that they are suffering from a feline urinary infection or cat incontinence. Let’s make the distinction and if it is causing a problem, see what can be done.
Unfortunately not everyone is a cat lover and may not either understand or appreciate your cat marking its territory with their urine or spray on their property. Cats like to mark their territory but they can do it such a fashion that they upset you and probably the neighbors even more. This is normal behavior in the modern world we live in and we have to make the necessary adjustments.
Cats tend to stress easily so it is normal during such times, like moving home, introducing new pets to your home or even a trauma in the family surroundings that they will make them behave oddly. Cats like to feel comfortable with their surroundings and while they are adaptable they will behave uncharacteristically until they are settled again
Recognizing the difference between odd behavior, distressed behavior and behavior that requires medical attention is a different matter.
If your cat is spraying excessively or is doing so at odd places, the first thing you should do is check the obvious. For instance, the condition of the cat litter box may be a reason why your cat is urinating in strange places. Cats need a clean litter box. Cats like privacy so it is even better if there is more than one in the house in a quiet and secluded place.
Make sure that you clean the litter box properly and regularly, at least once a week. Cats, as most cat owners know, are pretty fickle, fussy and finicky creatures so we need to pamper to their needs.
Cat urine is very caustic by composition and therefore while you are looking for the suitable treatment, it will do you good if you keep your cleaning equipment and gloves handy for cleaning carpets and furnishings.
Once you have taken all the usual steps to eliminate the problem wait and observe. If you notice that your cat is straining or making odd, painful noises while urinating, it is a quite probably a sign of a feline urinary infection or cat incontinence. In this case, consult your veterinarian.
Why? Because, the urinary system consists of two kidneys, two ureters, a bladder, two sphincter muscles and a urethra. These organs, tubes and muscles filter out excess fluids and waste products from the bloodstream, which is then expelled as urine. Your vet will know best how to treat this.
A cat experiencing difficulties in this system will experience discomfort and problems. If this is left unaddressed it can result in more severe health issues. Herbal and homeopathic remedies have proven to be highly effective in the managing urinary-related problems. Because these remedies contain natural ingredients they are safe and gentle to use for your pet without the risk of negative side effects.
So now you will know if your cat is “taking the pee” or is having problems “taking a pee”.
