Feline Idiopathic Cystitis (FIC)

Did you know that over half of cats with urinary problems are actually suffering from Feline Idiopathic Cystitis (FIC)? 🐱

Have you noticed your cat going to the litter box frequently but only peeing a little each time? Or even urinating around the house? This might not be them being ""naughty"" — it could be a sign of urinary tract issues, or even FIC! FIC is mainly triggered by stress and is one of the biggest reasons for recurring urinary problems. 😿

🔸 Lower Urinary Tract Disease (LUTD): Can be caused by bladder stones, infection, urethral blockage, etc.

🔸 Feline Idiopathic Cystitis (FIC): Stress-triggered and prone to recurring flare-ups!

What kinds of things might stress out a cat?

🏠 Moving house, new pets, or new family members

🔊 Loud noises (renovation, thunderstorms, fireworks)

🚽 Not enough litter boxes or unclean litter boxes

🐾 Uneven resource distribution in multi-cat households

💡 How can you help support your cat's urinary health?

✅ Provide plenty of clean drinking water to encourage urination 💧

✅ Improve their environment to reduce stress factors 🏡

✅ Giving can food can increase fluid intake 🥣

🐾 If you notice your cat peeing frequently, peeing outside the litter box, or blood in the urine — take them to the vet as soon as possible! 🩺
