Hello there,
I’m sorry to hear about your cat’s issue. When a cat pees in her sleep, it’s often a sign that something might not be right with her health. A common cause could be a urinary tract infection (UTI), which can make it hard for her to control her bladder. Other causes might be bladder stones, kidney problems, or even a behavioral issue if she's experiencing stress or anxiety.
If she’s older, it might also be a sign of age-related incontinence. Keep an eye out for any additional symptoms, like changes in her drinking habits, straining to pee, or urine with blood. These signs would be important to mention during a vet visit.
At home, you can help by ensuring she has easy access to her litter box and cleaning it regularly to encourage her to use it. Make sure her sleeping area is comfortable. You might also want to reduce stress factors by keeping her environment calm and familiar.
Please monitor her closely, and if the problem persists or you notice additional symptoms, it would be a good idea to have a veterinarian check her out.
Consider booking a video consult with us at Dial A Vet so we can work together to figure out the cause and provide the best care for your furry friend.
