Cats can develop feline urethral obstruction or FUO. This health condition refers to small stones (or uroliths) blocking the urine’s passage from the urinary bladder to the urethra. The cat cannot pee when the urinary bladder is blocked. A cat suffering from FUO should be brought to the vet immediately to prevent dire consequences. Male cats are more likely to develop FUO, especially during autumn. According to experts, cats tend to drink more water in summer because it’s hot. But they no longer drink as much in the next season, autumn, because the weather is much colder. When there is not enough liquid in the cat’s body, urine becomes more concentrated. When this happens, cells, mucus, and protein are likely to develop in the body. These will eventually harden to create a blockage in the urinary tract.
But keep in mind that FUO is likely to occur any time of the year. So if you notice that your kitty’s elimination habit has changed, you should bring her to your pet clinic Marietta GA immediately.
