There are a lot of animals that suffer with urinary tract infections. The good news is that cats are less prone to get the infection. One of the first signs that cats have when they are struggling with a UTI is they will have problems with using the litter box.

The reason why they will have problems with the litter box is because it will be very painful for them to urinate. They might start trying to avoid ways to use the box and might sometimes have accidents as a result. Traces of blood are often seen when a cat has a UTI. The cat can go for hours and hours before they actually use the bathroom.

The cat usually starts to sleep a lot and does not play often when they have a urinary tract infection. Sometimes the appetite becomes decreased. Some cats will get clingy with their owners while others will not want to be touched.

The causes of Urinary Tract Infections In Cats can differ from viruses, diet, bacteria, stress, physical inactivity, decreased amount of water intake and urine retention. Cats who eat small and tiny meach also might have a higher chance of getting a UTI infection.
