The intestines and stomachs of domestic cats are also very delicate. Parents should be careful not to feed cats food that is not suitable for eating. They should also pay more attention to their cats’ digestive problems. Once a cat has a digestive system problem, that is, a gastrointestinal disease, parents can judge it by distinguishing the cat's urine and feces.

Look at cat feces

Abnormalities in the cat’s digestive system will show up in the cat’s stool, so when cleaning the toilet, you should carefully observe the cat’s stool. Pay special attention to the color and consistency of the stool. When a cat is healthy, its feces are moderately hard and dark brown. However, it will vary depending on the cat's constitution, so it is important to carefully observe the state of the cat's feces when it is healthy.

Please seek medical attention promptly if you experience the following symptoms:

When the feces is bright red, it may be colitis or large intestinal hemorrhage. Even if there is only a little blood in the stool, it may be caused by a disease in the large intestine.

When the feces becomes burnt black, it may be that the small intestine is diseased. In either case, the feces must be taken to the hospital for testing in a plastic bag or plastic wrap.

Cats are prone to constipation, so it is normal to defecate once every two days. If this frequency cannot be reached, use your hand to touch the cat's belly. If you feel hard stool accumulation, you should go to the hospital immediately. Mild constipation can be cured by simply adding a tablespoon of margarine to food.

If the patient has diarrhea but no blood streaks or foreign matter in the stool, no fever, and is still energetic, then starve the patient overnight to see how it goes. If it stops after 1 to 3 times, there is no need to worry. After a day of starvation, slowly feed it some easy-to-digest food.

If there is a lot of water in the stool, mixed with blood, and accompanied by a foul odor, and it spurts out as if it is uncontrollable, and cannot be controlled, you should be sent to the hospital immediately. In addition, if you still have fever, vomiting and other symptoms, and your stomach seems to be hurting, you must go to the hospital. Because many diseases can cause diarrhea, tell your veterinarian in detail about other symptoms.

Check cat urine

When a cat is healthy, its urine is dark yellow. Urine output varies from cat to cat. A cat weighing 5 kg has a daily urine output of approximately 100 to 150 ml. When you drink a lot of water, your urine output will also increase, but not much. Since changes in a cat's physical condition are often reflected in urine, you should pay attention to urine color, urine volume and frequency.

Please seek medical attention as soon as possible if you have the following symptoms:

The cat keeps going to the toilet but can't urinate. If he touches his belly with his hand, he feels bloated. At this time, it is possible that he has urinary stones or urinary obstruction, so he should be taken to the hospital as soon as possible.

The cat doesn’t drink much water but urinates frequently and the urine is very light in color.In this case, you may be suffering from chronic renal failure and should be sent to the hospital immediately. In addition, cystitis and urethritis may also cause increased frequency of urination.

When there is blood in the urine, it is best to take it to the hospital for examination.

When the urine color is abnormally yellow or close to orange, it is also evidence of the cat’s physical decline.

Note: It is said that cats who always eat dry food are prone to urethral stones, but this is not the direct cause. However, dry food has low water content and will form concentrated urine that is easy to crystallize, so the cat must be given plenty of water to drink. For cats who don’t like to drink water, it’s best not to feed them dry food.
