My cat is peeing blood

Hello there,



I'm so sorry to hear about what you and your kitty are going through right now. When a cat is peeing blood, it can be distressing, but let's go over some possible causes and what you can do at home.



This condition, known as hematuria, can be caused by several things, including urinary tract infections (UTIs), bladder stones, or even stress-induced inflammation called feline idiopathic cystitis. In some cases, it could also signify a more serious problem like a urinary blockage or bladder cancer, although these are less common.



At home, ensure your cat is drinking plenty of water to help flush the urinary system. Try offering wet food, which can increase fluid intake, and make sure they have easy access to fresh water. Comfort and minimize stress by providing a safe and peaceful environment.



Watch closely for any signs of straining to urinate, increased frequency of urination, or if your cat seems lethargic or in pain. If you notice any of these, it could indicate a serious issue, and immediate veterinary attention is critical.
