The most common cause of hematuria in cats is urinary tract infection, which will cause symptoms of frequent urination and anuria. When the condition develops to a serious level, hematuria will appear. Blood in the urine of cats may be caused by local inflammation and bleeding caused by heat in the urinary system. Blood in your cat's urine may be caused by tumors.

1Urinary tract infection

When a cat's urethra is infected, symptoms of frequent urination and anuria will appear. If the infection is severe, the urethra will become inflamed and eroded, leading to bleeding, so the cat will have hematuria. In addition, redness, swelling and damage to the cat’s external genitalia may also lead to blood in the urine.

2 Urinary system stones

When a cat has stones in its urinary system, the cat will also have symptoms of hematuria. Urinary system stones include: bladder stones, urinary tract stones, and kidney stones. Because the stones block the cat’s urinary tract, they can cause inflammation and bleeding of local tissues and blood leakage. Hematuria is formed when the cat's urine is excreted.

3 Tumor

Cats suffer from tumors in the urinary system or reproductive system. The tumors invade and compress the organs and cause bleeding, resulting in blood in the cat's urine.

4 Cat Gynecological Diseases

Pyometra is a common gynecological disease in female cats. It is caused by abnormal ovarian function and bacterial infection. The uterus of a sick cat will be filled with pus or blood, causing the cat's abdomen to swell and the reproductive tract to bleed. Mixed with cat urine and excreted.

How to prevent cats from hematuria

1 It is best to give cats drinking cool boiled water. Do not use mineral water as daily water for cats. Mineral water contains certain minerals; if cats drink it for a long time, it is easy to accumulate in the body and form stones.

2 Providing cats with a clean living environment can reduce infections of cats’ external genitalia. This is also one of the measures to prevent urinary tract infections in cats.
