If your cat keeps going to the toilet but can't urinate, it may be because it drinks less water for a long time, so there is not enough water in the body to form urine. Secondly, when a cat is in estrus, it is easy to go to the toilet frequently and in irregular positions. In this case, the owner does not need to worry too much. In addition, it may also be caused by urinary tract diseases such as urethritis, cystitis, urethral stones, and bladder stones. It is recommended that the owner take the cat to the pet hospital for examination first. If it is caused by disease factors, the owner needs to treat the cat in time.
1. Drinking less water for a long time
If the cat usually eats a dry diet and does not like to drink water, the water in the body will be low and it will naturally be unable to urinate, and the cat will be short of water. The coat will also appear dry and rough, the skin will lose elasticity, and the hair will lose its original gloss. Therefore, the owner must encourage the cat to drink more water. If the cat really doesn’t like to drink water, he can also prepare some canned food or fish soup to replenish the cat’s water.
2. Estrus
When cats are in estrus, they will also go to the toilet frequently and bark non-stop, especially in the middle of the night. This is normal, and owners don’t need to worry too much. It will be normal once the cat urinates slowly after its estrus period. Of course, if there is no breeding need for the cat, you can also take the cat to the pet hospital for sterilization before the cat goes into estrus or at a staggered estrus period.
3. Urinary tract diseases
If the above problems are excluded, the cat is likely to suffer from urinary tract diseases, such as urethritis, cystitis, urethral stones, bladder stones, etc. It may cause cats to have difficulty urinating, frequent urination and no urine. If no urine comes out at all, it is recommended to take the cat to the pet hospital for catheterization in time to relieve the pressure on the bladder and treat the original disease at the same time. If the bladder is particularly distended, it is best to check whether there are any problems with the kidneys and electrolyte indicators, because this situation can easily lead to post-renal renal failure.
