Hello there! I'm sorry to hear your cat might be dealing with a urinary tract infection (UTI). Cats are quite sensitive, and hiding can be a sign they're not feeling well. A UTI can cause discomfort similar to when we have a bladder infection. Your cat might be avoiding you because they’re trying to find a quiet, safe place to rest.
Common signs of a UTI in cats include frequent urination, straining to urinate, urine with a strong odor, or sometimes blood in the urine. If you're noticing these behaviors or see any changes in your cat's litter box habits, it might be time to take some steps to help them feel better.
At home, ensure your cat has access to plenty of fresh water, as hydration is crucial for urinary health. You can also offer wet food, which provides extra moisture. Make sure their litter box is clean and easily accessible, as stress can sometimes worsen their symptoms.
However, if you notice your cat is constantly straining to urinate, has blood in their urine, or seems in pain, it’s important to seek veterinary attention promptly. These could be signs of a more serious issue that may require immediate care.
I recommend scheduling a video consultation with us here at Dial A Vet. We can help assess your cat’s symptoms and guide you on the next steps to take. Your furry friend’s health is our priority, and we're here to support you both!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
