Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in cats can be very uncomfortable and indicate underlying issues. Prevention often involves increasing water intake; consider wet food, adding water to kibble, or using a pet drinking fountain. Ensure the litter box is clean, appealing, and accessible, as a reluctance to urinate can contribute. Stress management is also key, as feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD), a common cause of UTI-like symptoms, is often stress-related. Your vet may also recommend a specific diet. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
