			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If your kitty suffers from a recurring <a target="_blank" title="UTI-Free by Native Remedies" href="http://tinyurl.com/yg4r28u">cat urinary tract infection</a>, perhaps holistic cat care can help.  Here are ten benefits of using natural remedies for cats to treat feline cystitis.</p>
<p> <strong>What Is Holistic Cat Care?</strong></p>
<p> Holistic medicine is a different way of looking at illness. Conventional medicine treats the symptoms of cat urinary problems, but doesn&#8217;t address why your pet is showing these symptoms.</p>
<p> Holistic practitioners, on the other hand, look at the animal as a whole, not just as a urinary tract. Holistic cat care follows the principle that your cat&#8217;s body is able to maintain a balance that protects her from disease and helps her to heal herself. Upset the balance, and your cat gets sick. The holistic approach is to restore this balance.</p>
<p> Our pets are exposed to many toxins in their food, from the environment, and even in the grooming products you use on them. Choosing to use only natural food and pet supplies will go a long way toward keeping your kitty healthy and protecting her from FLUTD, or feline lower urinary tract disease.</p>
<p> <strong>Ten Benefits Of Holistic Cat Care</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Feeding your cat a natural diet reduces her exposure to artificial coloring agents and preservatives which can upset her system. Better nutrition will help her to resist a cat urinary tract infection.</li>
<li>A high-quality natural diet will prevent health problems like allergies, digestive problems, and <a target="_blank" title="UTI-Free by Native Remedies" href="http://tinyurl.com/yg4r28u">cat urinary problems</a>.</li>
<li>Less stress in your cat&#8217;s life will help her to stay healthy. Observe her around the house to see if she has stressful situations in her life. Is she having territory issues with another cat? Is she lonely? Exercise can also help to lower her stress levels, too, as well as keeping her in shape.</li>
<li>With excellent holistic cat care, your kitty will live a long and healthy life.</li>
<li>If your pet doesn&#8217;t feel well, her quality of life won&#8217;t be as good. Natural cat care will improve your feline friend&#8217;s quality of life by helping her to stay healthy.</li>
<li>If your feline friend is sick or injured, she&#8217;ll recover faster. Ingredients in natural remedies for cats are absorbed better, which aids in the healing process.</li>
<li>By using natural pet care products, you&#8217;ll reduce your own exposure to toxins. Remember that your family is exposed to all the ingredients found in the products you use on your cat.</li>
<li>Natural products are more earth-friendly than conventional remedies. They break down quickly, and don&#8217;t leave harmful residues in the environment,</li>
<li>You&#8217;ll save time by not having to take your kitty to the vet as often. With holistic cat care, you&#8217;ll be treating the source of feline cystitis, not just the symptoms, which will help prevent new a cat urinary tract infection from developing.</li>
<li>And, finally, you&#8217;ll be saving money in the long run by avoiding expensive products that can lead to more health problems for your cat.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>The Best Natural Remedies For Cats</strong></p>
<p> It can be overwhelming to try to choose the best natural remedy for your cat from the many on the market. Look for a product that&#8217;s specially formulated for pets, not people. Look for a highly-recommended company with a great reputation for producing only the highest-quality remedies for pets. You&#8217;ll want feedback from other pet owners concernng the product your&#8217;re considering for your pet.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you concerned about <a target="_blank" title="UTI-Free by Native Remedies" href="http://tinyurl.com/yg4r28u">cat urinary tract infection</a>?  All cat owners should be aware of FLUTD, or feline lower urinary tract disease, to prevent their beloved companions from becoming victims of cat urinary problems.<br /> <strong><br /> What Cat Urinary Tract Infection Symptoms Should You Be Aware Of?</strong></p>
<p> Sometimes the most obvious symptom is that your cat is urinating outside the litter box.  As wonderful as cats are, they don&#8217;t have advanced powers of reasoning.  If your cat is hurting every time he uses the litter pan, he thinks that somehow the litter pan is causing his pain.  In his little kitty mind, if he urinates someplace else, it won&#8217;t hurt when he goes.</p>
<p> Of course, we humans know it doesn&#8217;t work that way.  But if your cat suddenly stops using his litter box, it may not be a behavior issue.  It could be one of several cat urinary tract infection symptoms.</p>
<p> If you use clumping cat litter, be observant of the size of the clumps when you scoop or change his litter.  You should see a few large clumps.  A whole bunch of little clumps indicates that he can&#8217;t pass much urine at one time.  This is another symptom of cat urinary problems.</p>
<p> Bloody urine is another clue to watch for.  It&#8217;s a little harder to see in cats than it is in dogs.  However, if your cat is urinating outside his box, you may be more apt to notice it.</p>
<p> Be aware of your cat&#8217;s behavior in his litter box.  Is he crying out in pain when he tries to urinate?  Is he straining to pass urine?  Often cat owners mistake this for constipation.</p>
<p> Your kitty needs to be visiting his litter pan several times a day.  If he is urinating less and less, or stops completely, he may have a cat urinary blockage, which is a veterinary emergency.</p>
<p> <strong>Treatments For FLUTD</strong></p>
<p> In order to treat a cat urinary tract infection, your vet will need to run several tests to find out what&#8217;s going on with your cat.  A urinalysis is necessary to determine if your cat has <a target="_blank" title="UTI-Free by Pet Alive" href="http://tinyurl.com/yg4r28u">feline cystitis</a>, or if he has feline bladder stones.  A cat urine culture will tell your vet which bacteria are causing the problem, and a sensitivity test indicates which antibiotic will work best.</p>
<p> If your feline has a cat urinary tract infection, he&#8217;ll probably be treated with antibiotics.  Bladder stones in cats are a common problem, too.  Your cat may have to eat a special diet so the stones can dissolve.Your vet may need to catheterize your kitty if he has a urinary blockage.</p>
<p> <strong>Can Cat Urinary Problems Be Prevented?</strong></p>
<p> Prevent your kitty from becoming another statistic by taking these easy steps.</p>
<p> First, feed your cat a high-quality canned food.A cat in the wild doesn&#8217;t drink much water because he&#8217;s meant to get his water from his food.  When we take our cats out of a natural situation and feed them an unnatural diet of dry food with an extremely low moisture content, we&#8217;re setting them up for cat urinary problems.</p>
<p> Canned cat food has a moisture level of about 75%, which is much closer to a cat&#8217;s natural diet.  If your cat has always been fed dry food, he may resist a change in his diet.  Cats are notoriously resistant to change, but with patience, time, and persistence, you can switch him over to canned food.</p>
<p> A steady supply of clean, fresh water is a must, too.</p>
<p> Consider giving your feline friend <a target="_blank" title="UTI-Free by Native Remedies" href="http://tinyurl.com/yg4r28u">natural remedies for cats</a> that support bladder health.  Look for a remedy that&#8217;s made especially for cats.  You&#8217;ll want to deal only with a company with a sterling reputation for producing only the highest quality pet remedies.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a target="_blank" title="UTI-Free by Native Remedies" href="http://tinyurl.com/yg4r28u">Cat urinary problems</a> can be frustrating to deal with.  If recurring FLUTD is a problem for your kitty, maybe stress has something to do with it, especially if your vet can&#8217;t find any reason for the repeated feline urinary problems.  If your kitty has been diagnosed with feline idiopathic cystitis, read on for answers.</p>
<p> <strong>What Is Feline Idiopathic Cystitis?</strong></p>
<p> Your furry companion has all the signs of feline cystitis.  He strains to urinate, but doesn&#8217;t pass much urine.  His urine may be bloody.  He&#8217;s obviously in pain when he&#8217;s using the litter box.  And he may be urinating in places other than his litter box. </p>
<p> But when your vet examines him and runs a urinalysis and a urine culture, there&#8217;s no sign of a feline bladder infection.  There&#8217;s no bacteria in his urine, and bladder stones, tumors, and even an anatomical defect have all been ruled out. </p>
<p> <a target="_blank" title="UTI-Free by Pet Alive" href="http://tinyurl.com/yg4r28u">Feline idiopathic cystitis</a> is the diagnosis when there doesn&#8217;t seem to be any reason for feline urinary problems.  It&#8217;s very difficult to watch your cat suffer with FLUTD symptoms when there doesn&#8217;t appear to be any reason for these cat urinary problems.This condition is being seen by vets more and more often.</p>
<p> <strong>Is A Stressed Out Cat Related To Feline Idiopathic Cystitis?</strong></p>
<p> Research is showing that this condition in cats is very similar to interstitial cystitis in people.  In both cats and people, some sort of stressful event often happens just before the cat or person suffers another bout of cystitis.</p>
<p> Sometimes we don&#8217;t realize how much stress our cats face.  It may be hard to believe, but being an indoor cat is stressful for felines.  We keep them inside for their own safety, but this is an unnatural environment for felines.  They do like to prowl around, especially at night.The never-ending hunt for food also helps to keep them in shape because of all the exercise hunting provides. </p>
<p> We also feed them the wrong type of diet, which is another stressor.  Most dry cat foods are made mostly from corn, which is very high in carbohydrates.  Too much of the wrong type of food leads to obesity, feline diabetes, and other health issues. </p>
<p> Most cat owners don&#8217;t realize how the low moisture levels in dry food impact their cats&#8217; heatlh.  Cats are meant to get most of their water from their diet, which should be mostly meat-based.  A cat who is always fed dry food is more than likely chronically dehydrated.  Even if a cat who is fed dry food does drink water, it&#8217;s hard for him to drink enough.</p>
<p> The problem with a dehydrated cat is that water doesn&#8217;t pass through his body often enough to flush out toxins.  His urine is also concentrated.  Urine is caustic, and if it&#8217;s too concentrated, it can irritate the bladder, which often leads to FLUTD.A cat with concentrated urine is more prone to cat bladder stones and urinary blockage in cats because of the high mineral levels in his urine.</p>
<p> This type of stress is low-level, but it can lead to problems over time. </p>
<p> Your kitty may be under other types of stress.  Cats are very set in their ways, and any kind of change can be upsetting for them.Your cat may be stressed because of a move to a new home, a new person or animal in the household, or even because of a change in the weather.  Your cat may be having problems with another cat in the home, too, especially if the other pet is more aggressive and seems to bother him a lot.</p>
<p> <strong>Helping Your Stressed Out Cat</strong></p>
<p> It&#8217;s been shown that reducing stress in cats does reduce the frequency of FLUTD.You can reduce stress on your cat&#8217;s body by feeding him a diet more naturally suited to felines.</p>
<p> If your kitty is plagued with recurring <a target="_blank" title="UTI-Free by Pet Alive" href="http://tinyurl.com/yg4r28u">feline urinary problems</a>, natural remedies for cats may help.  Just click on any link in this article to learn more.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Can natural remedies for cats help to prevent <a target="_blank" title="UTI-Free by Native Remedies" href="http://tinyurl.com/yg4r28u">feline cystitis</a>?  Many cat owners who have had a long and frustrating battle with feline lower urinary tract disease, or FLUTD, wonder if natural remedies, along with holistic cat care, would help.<br /> <strong><br /> What Is Holistic Cat Care?</strong></p>
<p> Holistic cat care involves looking at your kitty as a whole, as an alternative to focusing on her kidneys and bladder when she has <a target="_blank" title="UTI-Free by Pet Alive" href="http://tinyurl.com/yg4r28u">cat urinary problems</a>.Instead of just treating the symptoms of FLUTD, a holistic practitioner will want to know about your cat&#8217;s diet, stress in her life, and any underlying problems.It&#8217;s acceptable to use natural remedies for cats, too.<br /> <strong><br /> Cat Urinary Problems And Your Kitty&#8217;s Diet<br /></strong><br /> Many cat owners don&#8217;t realize that there&#8217;s a direct link between their cat&#8217;s diet and cat cystitis.  Ads on tv and in magazines tell us repeatedly how great dry food is for our cats.  It has all the nutrients your cats needs, yes.  But that&#8217;s not the whole truth.</p>
<p> Here&#8217;s the problem.In the wild, cats don&#8217;t drink much water, for the simple reason that they&#8217;re meant to get most of their fluid intake from their food.  All people and animals are over 90% water.  A cat who eats mice and other prey animals will almost completely satisfy her water requirements without having to drink any extra water.</p>
<p> It&#8217;s a different story for our kitties.  We want to do the best for them, so we feed them what we have been told is the best possible diet.  But dry cat food has a moisture content of less than 10%.  This is good for a long shelf life, but it&#8217;s not so good for your cat&#8217;s health.  A cat who eats only dry food is probably a chronically dehydrated cat, since it&#8217;s hard for her to drink enough water to make up the difference between what&#8217;s in her diet, and what her body needs.</p>
<p> Did you know that kidney failure is the leading cause of death in older cats?This is often because of a lifetime of chronic dehydration.</p>
<p> You should know that increasing the amount of water going through your cat is the best way to prevent FLUTD.  A more than adequate water intake flushes impurities out of your cat&#8217;s body and his urinary system.  Be sure your kitty always has access to plenty of clean fresh water.</p>
<p> <strong>Cat Stress Is Linked To Feline Cystitis</strong></p>
<p> Most of us would think that our cats lead a charmed life.Just laying around and sleeping all day sounds like a rough life, doesn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p> Well, maybe not.  Cats face a lot more stress than most of us realize.  Just being an indoor cat is a stress on an animal that&#8217;s meant to be outside hunting, and slinking around in the dark.  Add a lack of exercise, too much of the wrong food, not enough water, annoyances from other cats and pets, and just being cooped up inside, and you can see that maybe life isn&#8217;t quite as easy as you thought for your furball.</p>
<p> Feline interstitial cystitis has been linked to cat stress.  If your vet can&#8217;t find any reason for your cat&#8217;s bladder problems, maybe you should be looking for hidden stress in your cat&#8217;s life.<br /> <strong><br /> Natural Remedies For Cats With Cat Urinary Problems</strong></p>
<p> You may be interested in one of the many natural remedies for cats available now.  You should look for one that contains the herbs uva ursi and barberry, along with the homeopathic remedies Cantharis and Staphysagris.These remedies keep your cat&#8217;s urinary system working well by preventing feline cystitis.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you know that up to 1.5 percent of all cats in the US are plagued with feline urinary problems? That&#8217;s a lot of cats.</p>
<p> These problems can range from an uncomfortable cat bladder infection to a life-threatening cat urinary blockage. An an informed cat owner, you should always be on the lookout for <a target="_blank" title="UTI-Free by Native Remedies" href="http://tinyurl.com/yg4r28u">cat urinary problems</a>.</p>
<p> <strong>What&#8217;s The Difference Between FLUTD And FUS?</strong></p>
<p> Many cat owners are confused, and rightfully so, over the terms used to describe cat urinary problems. FLUTD is an acronym that stands for Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease. FLUTD used to be known as FUS, or Feline Urologic Syndrome. Feline Urologic Syndrome has been renamed as Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease to reflect that most of the urinary problems in cats happen in the lower urinary tract, which includes the bladder and urethra.</p>
<p> <strong>Overview Of Feline Urinary Disease</strong></p>
<p> There are many different aspects to <a target="_blank" title="UTI-Free by Pet Alive" href="http://tinyurl.com/yg4r28u">feline urinary problems</a>. Here&#8217;s a quick overview of a few different conditions that can affect your cat&#8217;s urinary tract.</p>
<ul>
<li>An inflammation of your cat&#8217;s bladder is called cystitis.</li>
<li>If your cat&#8217;s urethra is inflamed, he has urethritis.</li>
<li>Idiopathic cystitis means that the cause of the bladder inflammation is not known.</li>
<li>Bladder stones in cats often occur as a result of feline urinary crystals.</li>
<li>A tumor in your cat&#8217;s bladder may be the source of his problems.</li>
</ul>
<p>You can see that it&#8217;s important to pinpoint what&#8217;s causing your cat&#8217;s urinary tract problems in order to treat his condition successfully.</p>
<p> <strong>Symptoms of Cat Urinary Problems</strong></p>
<p> No matter what&#8217;s causing the feline urinary tract problems, your cat will show these symptoms:</p>
<ul>
<li>Bloody urine</li>
<li>Urinating in places other than his litter box</li>
<li>Urinating often, but passing only small amounts of urine</li>
<li>Straining to urinate, or not being able to pass urine at all</li>
<li>Crying out in pain in the litter box</li>
</ul>
<p>Any of these symptoms should be enough for you to take your cat to the vet for a check-up.</p>
<p> <strong>What Your Vet Will Do</strong></p>
<p> Your vet will examine your cat and feel his bladder to see how full it is. The vet will also want to do a urinalysis to check for infection or feline urinary crystals, and may want to do a cat urine culture to see if bacteria are present. A distended bladder indicates that your kitty may have a cat urinary blockage, and your vet may want to take x-rays or do an ultrasound to look for stones in your cat&#8217;s bladder.<br /> <strong><br /> Steps You Can Take To Prevent Feline Urinary Disease?</strong></p>
<p> There are many steps cat owners can take to prevent their cats from developing feline urinary tract problems. The most important thing you can do is to feed a high-quality canned food.</p>
<p> Because cats are supposed to get most of their water from their food, a kitty who eats only dry food is usually chronically dehydrated, which leads to his urine becoming concentrated. And concentrated urine can lead to cat bladder stones, and a whole host of problems that goes along with them.</p>
<p> Be sure your cat always has access to plenty of clean, fresh water, too.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you know how natural <a target="_blank" title="UTI-Free by Native Remedies" href="http://tinyurl.com/yg4r28u">feline urinary support</a> can help your kitty avoid frequent cat urinary problems?  If your pet suffers from repeated cat bladder infection, here are three ways you can support his feline urinary health.</p>
<p> <strong>Diet And Feline Urinary Support</strong></p>
<p> Your cat&#8217;s diet is extremely important in promoting cat urinary health.  Many cat owners are unaware that a one-year study showed that feeding a high-quality canned food reduced feline urinary problems significantly.  Why is this?</p>
<p> You should know that the best way to prevent feline lower urinary tract disease, or FLUTD, is to increase the amount of water that goes through your cat.  The easiest way to do this is to feed him canned cat food, which has a moisture level of around 75%.  This is much closer to a cat&#8217;s natural diet.</p>
<p> The problem is that dry cat food, which is what most kitties eat, has a very low moisture level, under ten percent.  A cat who eats only dry food must drink a lot of water to get enough fluid intake to prevent cat urinary problems.  Unfortunately, it can be very difficult to get your cat to drink more water, since he has evolved to get most of his water from his diet.</p>
<p> If your cat isnt&#8217; drinking enough water, he&#8217;s probably chronically dehydrated.  His urine is very concentrated, which can lead to cat bladder stones.  These stones irritate the bladder wall, and cause feline cystitis, which is a bladder inflammation.  Just feeding your cat moist food can help to prevent this problem.</p>
<p> Another way to get your cat to drink more water is to divide his food into three equal amounts and feed him three times a day.  It&#8217;s been shown that feeding your cat two or three times a day as opposed to once a day is associated with an increase in his daily water intake.<br /> <strong><br /> Reduce Cat Stress To Reduce Cat Bladder Infection Problems</strong></p>
<p> Cats appear to lead charmed lives, but this isn&#8217;t really true.  Our kitties are creatures of habit, and they don&#8217;t like changes at all.  Moving to a new home, remodeling, adding a new pet or person to your household, and even changing your feline&#8217;s food causes cat stress.  Cats don&#8217;t handle stress well.  In fact, stress in cats has been linked to feline idiopathic cystitis, which is a bladder inflammation that doesn&#8217;t appear to have any cause.</p>
<p> Be on the lookout for anything that&#8217;s stressing your cat.  Reducing or removing the cause of the stress may help to reduce <a target="_blank" title="UTI-Free by Pet Alive" href="http://tinyurl.com/yg4r28u">cat urinary problems</a>.</p>
<p> <strong>Natural Remedies For Cats Can Support Cat Urinary Health</strong></p>
<p> Humans have been dealing with bladder infections since the beginning of time.Before we had access to modern antibiotics, people used herbs to treat cystitis, or bladder infections.  In many parts of the world, people still use these remedies.  Can these natural remedies work on cats too?</p>
<p> The answer is yes.  Uva ursi and barberry are two herbs that have stood the test of time for treating cystitis in people.  The homeopathic remedies Cantharis and Staphysagris also have a successful track record in treating human urinary tract infections.  These four remedies have been specially formulated into a remedy that&#8217;s not only safe, but effective, to prevent feline urinary problems.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;ve ever had any experience with a <a target="_blank" title="UTI-Free by Native Remedies" href="http://www.nativeremedies.com/petalive/uti-free-urinary-tract-infection-cats-dogs.html?img=350&amp;kbid=6988&amp;sub=ama">cat bladder stone</a>, you want to know why this happened to your cat and how to prevent it from happening in the future.  Read on to learn what causes bladder stones in cats, and how to prevent them. </p>
<p> <strong>How Do Bladder Stones In Cats Form?</strong></p>
<p> Researchers have several theories on this.  The general consensus is that high mineral levels in the urine cause the formation of stones.  This can be due to a bladder infection or from his diet.  When the mineral levels get too high, crystals form.  These crystals grow and form stones in your cat&#8217;s bladder.  These stones can be very small, about the size of a grain of sand, or they can grow to the size of a small pebble.</p>
<p> A urinary blockage occurs if a stone gets stuck in one of your cat&#8217;s ureters (the tubes that transport urine from his kidney to his bladder) or his urethra.<br /> <strong><br /> Tips For Preventing Bladder Stones In Cats</strong></p>
<p> The most important thing you can do is to start feeding your cat a high quality canned food.  Cats who eat dry food exclusively are more prone to developing bladder stones because they are usually chronically dehydrated.  Cats have evolved to get most of their water from their prey.  A mouse is over 90% water, so a cat in its natural environment doesn&#8217;t need to drink as much water.</p>
<p> Most canned foods have a moisture level of about 78%.  You can see that feeding your cat canned food will help prevent him from becoming dehydrated.  Dehydration is not good for cats, as it causes the urine to be more concentrated, which can lead to cat bladder stones.</p>
<p> Your kitty needs lots of clean fresh water available at all times.  It&#8217;s best to give him filtered water to be sure it&#8217;s pure.  A cat that drinks plenty of water will have dilute urine, which is helpful in preventing bladder stones.</p>
<p> Some cat owners give their cats a supplement containing cranberry.  Cranberry prevents bladder stones from forming by raising the acidity level in the urine.  It also helps to prevent cat bladder infections, too.</p>
<p> <strong>Herbal Pet Remedies Can Help Prevent Cat Urinary Problems</strong></p>
<p> People have been using herbal remedies like uva ursi and barberry to treat and prevent urinary problems for centuries.  Homeopathic remedies are  in great demand as well.</p>
<p> Pet owners are also asking if <a target="_blank" title="UTI-Free by Native Remedies" href="http://www.nativeremedies.com/petalive/uti-free-urinary-tract-infection-cats-dogs.html?img=350&amp;kbid=6988&amp;sub=ama">herbal pet remedies</a> will work on cats.  The answer is yes.  The advantages of these remedies is that not only are they safe and effective, but they&#8217;re inexpensive, and don&#8217;t have any side effects.</p>
<p> However, it&#8217;s extremely important to buy products that are formulated especially for animals.  You&#8217;ll want to purchase herbal pet remedies only from reputable companies that stand behind their products.</p>
<p> Natural remedies for cat urinary problems can help treat and prevent the problem of <a target="_blank" title="UTI-Free by Pet Alive" href="http://www.nativeremedies.com/petalive/uti-free-urinary-tract-infection-cats-dogs.html?img=350&amp;kbid=6988&amp;sub=ama">cat bladder stones</a>.  This is an easy way to keep your kitty healthy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you know that up to 1.5 percent of all cats in the US are plagued with feline urinary problems? That&#8217;s a lot of cats.</p>
<p>These problems can range from an uncomfortable cat bladder infection to a life-threatening cat urinary blockage. An an informed cat owner, you should always be on the lookout for <a target="_blank" title="Natural Pet Urinary Health" href="http://naturalpeturinaryhealth.com">cat urinary problems</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Is There A Difference Between FUS And FLUTD?</strong></p>
<p>Many cat owners are confused, and rightfully so, over the terms used to describe cat urinary problems. FLUTD is an acronym that stands for Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease. FLUTD used to be known as FUS, or Feline Urologic Syndrome. Feline Urologic Syndrome has been renamed as Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease to reflect that most of the urinary problems in cats happen in the lower urinary tract, which includes the bladder and urethra.</p>
<p><strong>Overview Of Feline Urinary Disease</strong></p>
<p>There are many different aspects to <a target="_blank" title="Natural Pet Urinary Health" href="http://naturalpeturinaryhealth.com">feline urinary problems</a>. Here&#8217;s a quick overview of a few different conditions that can affect your cat&#8217;s urinary tract.</p>
<ul>
<li>An inflammation of your cat&#8217;s bladder is known as cystitis.</li>
<li>If your cat&#8217;s urethra is inflamed, he has urethritis.</li>
<li>Idiopathic cystitis means that the cause of the bladder inflammation is not known.</li>
<li>Bladder stones in cats often occur as a result of feline urinary crystals.</li>
<li>A tumor in your cat&#8217;s bladder may cause problems, too.</li>
</ul>
<p>You can see that it&#8217;s important to pinpoint what&#8217;s causing your cat&#8217;s urinary tract problems in order to treat his condition successfully.</p>
<p><strong>Symptoms of Cat Urinary Problems</strong></p>
<p>No matter what&#8217;s causing the feline urinary tract problems, your cat will show these symptoms:</p>
<ul>
<li>Bloody urine</li>
<li>Urinating in places other than his litter box</li>
<li>Urinating often, but passing only small amounts of urine</li>
<li>Straining to urinate, or not being able to pass urine at all</li>
<li>Crying out in pain in the litter box</li>
</ul>
<p>Any of these symptoms should be enough for you to take your cat to the vet for a check-up.</p>
<p><strong>What Your Vet Will Do</strong></p>
<p>Your vet will examine your cat and feel his bladder to see how full it is. The vet will also want to do a urinalysis to check for infection or feline urinary crystals, and may want to do a cat urine culture to see if bacteria are present. If your kitty&#8217;s bladder is distended, that indicates a cat urinary blockage, and your vet may want to take x-rays or do an ultrasound to look for feline bladder stones.</p>
<p><strong>What Can You Do To Prevent Feline Urinary Disease?</strong></p>
<p>There are many steps cat owners can take to prevent their cats from developing feline urinary tract problems. The most important thing you can do is to feed a high-quality canned food. Cats are supposed to get most of their water from their food.</p>
<p>A cat who eats only dry food is usually chronically dehydrated, which leads to his urine becoming concentrated. And concentrated urine can lead to cat bladder stones, and a whole host of problems that goes along with them.</p>
<p>Be sure your cat always has access to plenty of clean, fresh water, too.</p>
<p>You may want to consider giving your cat a natural remedy for pets that supports bladder health in felines. This remedy should contain herbal extracts of barberry and uva ursi, along with the homeopathic remedies Cantharis and Staphysagria. There natural treatments, which have stood the test of time for bladder infections in humans, have proved to work very well in felines.</p>
<p>Your goal now? To make sure your cat doesn&#8217;t become a statistic suffering from feline urinary problems.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ever wondered if there&#8217;s something you can do at home to prevent or treat cat urinary problems?  Here&#8217;s a list of five natural remedies for cat bladder infection, along with how to choose the best <a target="_blank" title="Natural Pet Urinary Health" href="http://naturalpeturinaryhealth.com">natural remedies for pets</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Feed Your Cat A High-Quality Canned Food</strong></p>
<p> But, you say, this isn&#8217;t a natural remedy.  Actually it is.  Feeding your cat the best diet possible is the easiest natural way to keep him healthy and prevent future problems due to poor nutrition. </p>
<p> Did you know that cats that eat only dry food are chronically dehydrated?  Dry food has an extremely low moisture level, compared to canned food.  Cats are meant to get most of their water from their food, so many of them don&#8217;t drink enough water, which can lead to cat urinary problems.</p>
<p><strong>Fresh, Clean, Water Is A Must</strong></p>
<p> Lots of clean, fresh water is another natural remedy that promotes bladder health in your cat.  Your tap water may taste funny to your cat, so give him filtered water to make it more appealing to him.  If your cat still won&#8217;t drink enough, you can add a little extra water to his canned food to increase his moisture intake.</p>
<p> <strong>Recommended Supplements</strong></p>
<p> If your kitty has a feline bladder infection, you can give him between 250 and 500 milligrams of vitamin C every day.  Vitamin C is a natural anti-inflammatory that helps to relieve the pain of a <a target="_blank" title="Natural Pet Urinary Health" href="http://naturalpeturinaryhealth.com">cat bladder infection</a>.  It helps an irritated, inflamed bladder to heal itself, too.</p>
<p> Diarrhea is a side effect of high doses of vitamin C, so it&#8217;s best to start with a smaller dose and work up to a larger one.</p>
<p> A well-known natural remedy is cranberry, which works by keeping bacteria from sticking to the walls of the bladder.  Avoid the super-sweet cranberry juice at the grocery store, and give your cat cranberry capsules instead.</p>
<p> <strong>Herbal Pet Remedies</strong></p>
<p> Many of these same herbs that people have been using for centuries can be used on pets, too.  The best-known herbal pet remedies for feline urinary tract infections are uva ursi and Oregon grape holly.</p>
<p> Uva ursi is a strong diuretic that kills bacteria in the bladder, and also supports urinary system health. </p>
<p> Oregon grape holly contains berberine, a natural antibiotic that&#8217;s effective against strep and staph bacteria.  It also relieves inflammation in the bladder.</p>
<p> <strong>Homeopathic Remedies For Cat Bladder Infection</strong></p>
<p> Cantharis is a homeopathic remedy that is very effective for relieving pain.  It&#8217;s also useful when your cat is straining to empty his bladder, since it gets rid of the feeling that the bladder is still full, even after it&#8217;s just been emptied.</p>
<p> Staphysagria also relieves pain and promotes healing of inflamed tissues.</p>
<p> <strong>How To Choose The Best Natural Remedies For Pets</strong></p>
<p> You may be wondering how it&#8217;s possible to give your kitty four different herbs and homeopathic remedies.  Wonder no more.  There is a product available now that combines all four of these traditional remedies.  It&#8217;s safe and effective, as well as being easy to use. </p>
<p> You&#8217;ll be relieved to know that you can give this remedy right along with any antibiotic treatment your cat is on.  This herbal remedy for pets doesn&#8217;t interfere with the antibiotics in any way.  And you can continue giving your cat this remedy to support bladder health long after the antibiotic is finished.</p>
<p> Now that you&#8217;re armed with this information, you can prevent <a target="_blank" title="Natural Pet Urinary Health" href="http://naturalpeturinaryhealth.com">cat urinary problems</a> from sneaking up on your feline friend.</p>
