Cats and Urinary Accidents

Cats in multiple cat households often suffer from higher levels of anxiety

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.
