Seeing a change in the color of Pretty Litter after your cat uses the litter box can be alarming, as it may indicate a health issue. This color change happens when Pretty Litter reacts to certain chemicals in your cat's urine.
- Pretty Litter's color change is designed to detect abnormalities.
- Colors can indicate different health issues like UTIs or kidney problems.
- It's important to monitor your cat and consider a professional evaluation.
Pretty Litter is specially formulated to change color based on the pH level of your cat's urine. Green to blue colors often indicate high alkaline levels, which could suggest a urinary tract infection. Orange to red hues may point to the presence of blood, signaling possible kidney issues or crystals. If you notice these changes, it's best to observe your cat's behavior for other symptoms such as increased frequency of urination, discomfort, or any changes in appetite. If any of these symptoms are present, it would be wise to consult with a veterinarian.
