Why do cats like tuna?
Because it is high in protein. Cats evolved to eat mostly meat (i.e. a high protein food).CalliCat09 a different person, speaking here.Tuna is not good for cats. Yes, cats eat meat a lot, and it is their main food, but tuna is not good for cats, because there is some ingredient - sorry, I can't remember what, I haven't seen a tuna can in a year - but it can make a cat have urinary tract infections.I know it may sound weird, but don't take chances. My female cat, Callie had it because we fed my two cats tuna every day.Urinary tract infections cause pain, urinating all over the house (that is because they think the litterbox is doing it) no one ever said that cats were smart, but it'll also cause not drinking.You might have to put your kitty on a special food if he/she gets a urinary tract infection. Let's hope to God he/she doesn't!
Is Aglaonema plant harmful to cats?
According to the NCSU website they are poisonous and cause severe pain in the mouth when eaten. I checked because our kitten likes to chew on the leaves. It doesn't seem to cause her pain but she does have constant urinary tract infections. When I Googled it the webpage below says the "Toxic Principle" is calcium oxalate crystals, the same crystals that cause urinary infections in cats. Coincidence? Let's just say I moved the plant :-Phttp:/www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/consumer/poison/Aglaomo.htm
Is it ok to mix my male cat's expensive dry urinary tract health food especially with a less expensive dry food?
First of all, dry food- any dry food - might be doing your cat more harm than good. Is your cat supposed to be consuming more water or less water? When cats eat dry food they do not drink enough water and become dehydrated. This is one of the main reasons that wet (canned) food is recommended for cats. So even if a vet told you to buy dry urinary tract health food, I would do some research to see whether your cat's medical problem could become worse if he does not receive enough fluids. If you mix the urinary tract health food with any non-urinary tract food, you are diluting/weakening the effect that the health food will have on your cat.
Why would a 16 year old cat urinate in your bed?
There can be a lot of reasons for this so the short answer here is take it to the vet to have it checked out. Cat's will often urinate outside of their litter box when they have urinary tract infections, bladder stones, or other health issues. You also can be seeing the beginnings of feline dementia which is seen in older / elderly cats sometimes.
What causes urinary crystals in cats?
Cats usually contracts urinary infections from not drinking enough water and the urine becomes too concentrated. This can occur if the cat is fed only dry food, as cats have evolved to derive water from its prey/food, so will not often drink from a bowl like a dog readily does. Pet cats, like their wild ancestors and cousins, are still designed to get their moisture from their food. Cats naturally have a low "thirst drive" and will not often seek out water on their own unless severely dehydrated. Aside from food, some cats can contract a UTI from being overly stressed.
Is it dangerous for a cat to have a bladder infection for a long time?
Yes, any infection that goes on for a long time is dangerous. But a cat with bladder inflammation might not have an infection. Male cats in particular are prone to other urinary tract problems as well as infections. Of course, if your cat is in pain or having blood in urine or has stopped using the litterbox, you should take the cat to the vet.
