Having lots of hiding places is a really good way of making cats feel safer, so an owner might have boxes or covered spaces for their cat to hide away in each room.

Diet and exercise – overweight, lazy cats are much more likely to develop FIC so it’s important to keep your cat slim and fit. For more information read our guides Your Cat’s Diet& Exercising your Cat Add water to their food (both wet and dry), but if they don’t like this and won’t eat it, simply offer them significantly more wet food than biscuits, or even cut biscuits out altogether (if your cat will still eat enough).

Feline idiopathic cystitis is a complex syndrome. Environmental and physiological factors are thought to play a role and the condition has been linked to stress. Breakdown and loss of the glycosaminoglycan layer and tight junctions in the bladder, can complicate and exacerbate the condition significantly. Management involves aAnti-inflammatory painkillers (NSAids) – used in the short-term to help reduce pain and settle bladder inflammation*. As your cat ages, they may feel more vulnerable toileting outdoors, and may prefer not to be exposed to potential threads. The indoor environment may make them feel safer and may also help owners to detect urine abnormalities, such as an increased frequency of urination or blood in the urine. Step-free access to the litter tray may also make it more accessible. 9. Stress Owners know their cat best and what might cause them to be worried, but there are a number of general things that you can do to reduce stress in their environment. They include: Hiding places

Encourage frequent urination. Litter trays should be easily accessible. Provide at least one extra litter tray per cat. Place trays in different locations around the house. Try using different types of litter to see which one your cat prefers. Cats with outdoor access may also need an indoor litter tray in the house, even though they might have always urinated outside. Keep litter trays, and food and water bowls are out of the line of sight of other cats - remember that neighbourhood cats may be visible outside a glass door or window. Although they might have always done this, cats who are feeling under the weather may take issue to things that they have previously tolerated. 10.

For example, boxes or covered space in each room. Pheromone therapies, such as a Feliway or Zenifel diffuser, release odourless calming pheromones, which help cats to feel reassured. Unfortunately, feline pheromones do not have a positive effect for all cats but are very safe to use and definitely worth trialling. The causes of cystitis or FLUTD can be quite wide-ranging, but a dry diet can have an effect in making your cat’s urine more alkali. There can also be no underlying cause to cat cystitis. From International Cat Care:
