What is Serious Cat Urine?

Serious cat urine problems are just as easy to fix as the cat urine accidents every kitten experiences in their new home. Finding the cause for serious cat urine situations can be the hardest part. When our cats are kittens we know if they go outside the box they are lost, confused or simply could not make it there but they grow out of this in no time at all. When our cats are experiencing these same types of problems in their adult years, there is another reason which needs to be uncovered. By taking the time to find a permanent solution for the problem, you are not only promoting the health of your cat but creating a new lifestyle for yourself that does not include a cabinet full of different cat urine cleaners!

First, if your cat is consistently using everything but the litter box for their urination it is time to act as a professional investigator. You want to pay attention to when they are urinating, if they are continually going back to the same spot and what they are urinating on. These are key factors that can tell you a lot about your cat and perhaps even why this serious cat urine problem is occurring at all. You want to take a close look at the urine left on your carpet or furniture because if there is blood in the urine your cat may have a serious condition. Instead of being upset and ready to disown your cat, take the time to learn why.

If you find blood in your cat’s urine, take a sample to your vet immediately and they will most likely tell you that your cat has been suffering from a urinary tract condition. This type of condition causes a great deal of pain for your cat and when they were urinating in the litter box they were immediately associating the pain with their box, therefore they thought they could eliminate the pain by urinating elsewhere. When you take the time to find a solution like this, it all begins to make sense doesn’t it?

Now it is time to do what you can to prevent these common cat urination problems from occurring again and again if there are no health related concerns. If your cat does not have a urinary tract infection, than why are they urinating throughout your home? First, you want to take your attention to their litter box. Since cats are known to be incredibly neat and picky animals it is more than possible that something small may be wrong with their box. Make sure to scoop the litter once a day and if this is not enough you may want to consider using odour eliminating powders that can be sprinkled on the litter to help absorb the odours even your cat does not want to be around. For many cats these two steps should be enough but if you find they are not, keep trying.

Unfortunately, what many cat owners do not want to realize is that when a cat reaches a certain age, they may start to lose control of their urinary functions. The average cat lives between the ages of 10-15years old maximum. Although this does not mean that cats do not exceed these ages. When a cat is this age or older urinating throughout the house may be nothing more than their inability to find their litter box, their loss of strength to make it to the litter box and basically the beginning of their body’s deterioration. Anyone who is a cat lover can understand how devastating this can be and most times there is nothing you can do to prevent it.

No matter what the reason is for your cat’s serious urination problem, everyone reaches the time when they are forced to visit a variety of different pet stores to find that perfect cat urine cleaner. You want to make sure your cleaner has active enzymes in it because these are the only type of chemicals that can break down the molecules of the cat urine that cause the odour only your cat can still smell. If you cat can still smell it they will be more likely to urine in the same spot again and again. Although this can be an expensive process, it is important to take your time and choose several different products and above all, use them exactly as directed. Many consumers believe that they all work the same and are disappointed when they do not receive the results they need. Follow the directions to get the best results possible.

There are many benefits to owning a cat; they are friendly and cuddling animals that for the most part take care of themselves. When they are experiencing serious cat urination problems, the least we can do is get to the bottom of it for them.
