Good advice! 🥶🐈

In the very cold weather we see a marked increase in cystitis (bladder inflammation) in cats. Unsurprisingly they don’t like going out in the cold, wet, wind or snow and find it hard to dig the ground to go to the toilet. Because of this they are more likely to hold on and this can cause problems. Not only is cystitis very painful but in male cats, it can lead to a blocked bladder. This is where the cat is unable to pass urine at all and is a very serious life threatening condition. We advise providing an indoor litter tray for your cat during cold spells to help prevent any problems arising. Place the tray in a quiet area your cat has easy access to and change it regularly. Most cats that normally go outside prefer not to use a litter tray and once the weather improves will be happy to go back to their normal routine.
