I completely understand why you're worried about your cat's urine pH levels. A high pH can sometimes indicate issues like urinary tract infections, kidney problems, or dietary imbalances. Cats naturally have slightly acidic urine, so when the pH becomes too high, it's worth investigating further.
While you're monitoring your cat, make sure they're drinking plenty of water to help dilute their urine. Adding wet food to their diet can also help with hydration and potentially lower urine pH. Stress can sometimes affect urinary health, so creating a calm home environment might be beneficial too.
Keep an eye on any signs of straining when your cat uses the litter box, frequent urination, or any blood in the urine. These could indicate a more serious problem that needs immediate attention. Also, if you notice your cat is licking their genital area more than usual or seems to be in pain, these are things to report to a vet.
For a more detailed evaluation and to discuss any next steps, I recommend booking a video consult with one of our veterinarians on Dial A Vet. They can guide you more specifically based on your cat's health history and current symptoms.
