cat pees blood but urine result indicates not UTI

You're doing the right thing by asking about your cat's health—it's always concerning when you notice blood in your cat's urine. Since your vet ruled out a urinary tract infection, there are a few other possibilities we should consider.



Hematuria, or blood in the urine, can be caused by bladder stones or crystals, which can irritate the bladder lining. Another possibility is idiopathic cystitis, a condition often linked to stress or diet changes. Less commonly, tumors or trauma to the urinary tract might be at play.



At home, make sure your cat is hydrated, as increased water intake can help flush their system. You might consider offering wet food if you're not already—it has higher moisture content and can encourage better urinary health. Likewise, ensuring a low-stress environment is important. Provide plenty of play, safe spaces, and a clean litter box to help keep stress levels down.



Watch for signs that might indicate things are worsening, like if your cat starts to strain while urinating, stops urinating altogether, seems lethargic, or is in visible discomfort. These symptoms warrant immediate veterinary attention.



I recommend booking a video consult with a vet through Dial A Vet to discuss these issues in more detail. They can guide you on the best course of action based on your cat's specific needs.
