Does your cat have urinary accidents outside of the litter box?
Vertical spraying of surfaces is a territorial marking behavior in cats. However, urinary accidents on the floor, sink, bathtub, towels, clothes or other surfaces often suggests a medical issue. Cats can develop idiopathic cystitis of the bladder, and stress is a primary risk factor in this disease. Cats in multiple cat households often suffer from higher levels of anxiety.
Fortunately, Hill’s Science Diet has come out with a twist on their C/D (cystitis diet) food to help cat owners manage this disease. The company has added the amino acid L-tryptophan and hydrolyzed casein to their product. Both of these natural supplements have been shown to have a calming and stress reducing effect on cats.
