Unfortunately, some cats may not show any signs of a urinary tract infection until it becomes a more serious problem. But the good news is with vigilant care, a visit to the veterinarian and an appropriate diet, your cat can get over a urinary tract infection.

It can be disheartening for cat parents to watch their cat suffer with the symptoms. When cats have a urinary tract infection it is stressful for both the cat and the cat parents. A cat that has urinary problems, such as feline lower urinary tract disease or a urinary tract infection typically struggles with urinating and frequently urinates outside of their litter box. Unfortunately, cats are frequently abandoned or left at an animal shelter due to urination issues. There is no shame in needing help getting through a difficult situation.A urinary tract infection in cats can be completely miserable for your cat as well as lead to more unfortunate circumstances. Talk therapy is powerful and often necessary. Remind yourself that time cannot be slowed down or sped up but it will get easier for you to cope with each passing day.You will never truly be able to replace your cat but you may help fill the emptiness in your heart with a new one. This may be completely out of the question for some people, but for others, they need that tangible, physical being to hold and pet. Talk about your cat and tell someone what you loved about your cat and why they were so special. If you can’t think of someone to call, try going online to a forum or support group for people who are experiencing the loss of a pet. Call an empathetic friend who loves cats and talk to them.Don’t forget that there are still many beautiful things about life, even though your cat is gone. Consider making a photo album, scrapbook, or shadow box to remember your cat and remind you of happier times. Try looking at pictures of your pet or sort through its favorite things.Pets grieve too so if you had a pet that was especially close to your cat it may help you both to spend time together. If you have another pet, spend time with them.Don’t be afraid to say you are sad or angry and acknowledge the hurt you are all feeling together. Surround yourself with other people who knew and loved your cat.Give the popular poem, ' The Rainbow Bridge,' a good read.
