- Consult a vet if the problem persists or if your cat seems unwell.
Changes in the color of your cat's litter can sometimes result from dietary changes, medication, or certain health conditions like urinary tract infections or kidney issues. It's important to observe your cat for any other symptoms, such as lethargy, unusual behaviors, or changes in appetite. While some changes might be benign, others could require attention from a veterinarian.
