1. Cats lack water for a long time: As we all know, cats are born animals that don't like drinking water. If cats eat a single cat food for a long time, because many cat foods on the market are dry, long-term cats will be short of water, eating too dry will lead to water shortage in their bodies, thus increasing the concentration of cats' urine, and urine crystals at ordinary times will easily develop into stones. Moreover, cat urine is too thick, which will also stimulate the bladder membrane and cause cystitis.
2. The cat is under great mental stress: when the cat is too nervous, it will have a great stress reaction and it is easy to pee. Some cats are afraid of unfamiliar environment, or some meows are naturally timid and shy. Small things may be very sensitive, often leading to excessive mental stress and prone to lower urinary system diseases.
3. Obesity of cats: Obesity of cats is also an important factor leading to lower urinary system diseases.
4. The cat is old: generally, an elderly cat over the age of 10 is more likely to cause urinary tract infection if the urine concentration drops.
The above are the influencing factors of cats suffering from lower urinary system diseases, not some factors, which need to be compared and investigated by the owner as appropriate.
Second, the prevention methods of lower urinary system diseases in cats
1. The cat's diet needs to be healthy, balanced and diversified.
When pet owners feed their cats, they usually need to pay attention to the balanced and diversified nutrition of cats. Don't be lazy, often only give the cat dry food. Because it is difficult for cats who eat dry food to get water from food, they rarely take the initiative to drink water, which will easily lead to long-term lack of water for cats, and the high carbohydrate contained in cat food will easily lead to obesity for cats. Dry food is also one of the chief culprits for making cats' urine alkaline. Therefore, the owner must pay attention to this and usually give the cat a change of taste. Usually he needs to take some time out to make some fresh and healthy diets for cats, such as vegetable porridge and fresh chicken porridge, so that he can replenish water and increase nutrition for cats.
2. Give the cat enough water. If the owner is careful, he will find that cats seldom take the initiative to drink water, and the amount of water they drink is very small, and they do not get water from other sources, which may easily lead to water shortage in the body, thus promoting the imbalance of various elements in the body and causing various diseases. Therefore, the owner must strictly supervise the cat to drink water to ensure the cat's daily water demand. It can be supplemented by 70g cat food/175ml water.
3, control the cat's food intake, don't give the cat too much at a time, follow the law of eating less and eating more meals, don't let the cat eat freely, and prevent the cat from being overweight.
4, bring more cats to exercise. Maybe the owner is tired when he comes home from work, but keeping a pet is responsible. It is also important to take care of his cat and walk it. It will be boring to keep him at home all the time. Try to play with pets at ordinary times and pay attention to the cat's mood.
The owner can make the cat's bedroom very warm, because it is the place where they feel most secure, and there is also a place to hide if the cat is accidentally frightened. Besides, if the cat doesn't like it, don't let it force diplomacy.
