Why is my female cat peeing blood from stress with my male cat?

Urination outside the litterbox and blood in the urine can be caused by stress or behavioural issues, but can also be due to urinary tract infection, crystals in the urine, stones in the urinary tract, toxin ingestion, coagulation disorders, or trauma to the area. Another cause, which you referenced, is idiopathic cystitis or Feline Urinary Tract Disease, which can cause the symptoms you've noticed and can be triggered by stress. It is important that you make an appointment to have Keiko seen by your veterinarian immediately to help determine the cause of his behaviour and to start treatment. If you notice him straining to urinate/unable to produce urine, this is a medical emergency and he should be seen by a vet immediately. Pain medications meant for humans can be very dangerous (and even deadly) for cats, so I do not recommend giving any to Keiko without consulting with your vet. If medical causes are ruled out, it is possible that Keiko is exhibiting signs of stress in his home environment. You can do the following to help make sure Keiko ’s environmental needs are being met. Cats need at least one litterbox per cat plus one extra to help reduce stress associated with the litterbox. They should be placed in separate rooms, away from the food and water bowls, must be scooped at least daily (preferably multiple times a day)and washed out at least weekly with a mild soap, followed by thorough rinsing. Cats need a lot of space to explore, but keeping them indoors is much safer than letting them outside, due to the risk of injury from cars, wildlife, other animals, etc. The key is providing space (particularly vertical space for climbing, such as cat trees, ledges, and the like) inside the home.

Also look into Feliway, a synthetic pheromone that is available in a diffuser and spray form that promotes calm feelings in cats http://www.feliway.com, and Feliway Friends, which helps cats get along with each other www.feliway.com/ca_en/Products/FELIWAY-FRIENDS-Diffuser .

In most cases this is caused by a bladder inflammation, usually stress related. in male cats it is considered an emergency as they can easily develop a urinary blockage following this condition, i recommend taking him to the vet today.

Poor guy. He likely has a urinary tract infection or cystitis (inflamed bladder usually due to stress). I would recommend taking him to your vet for a urine test to determine which is present so that he is treated appropriately. As long as he is otherwise acting normal and able to urinate at will, then it isn't considered an emergency at this point. Getting him seen on Monday or the day after should be ok. It is likely he will be prescribed antibiotics and/or a prescription diet to treat this successfully. I hope that Milo gets better soon. Best wishes and take care.

Your vet is right, this could very well be stress induced. It does seem that your vet has done the necessary screening tests to rule out some other common causes of symptoms like this. I don't know what your pets test results are specifically; however the only other test that could be ran be absolutely sure of the diagnosis, is an abdominal ultrasound. Salem may be suffering from a condition called Feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD), which causes blood in the stool and inappropriate urination in response to stress. This condition is typically managed with a diet change (Rx diet Urinary C/D multicare stress is my favorite to use in these cases) and sometimes anti-anxiety medication is needed. Here are some websites that also talk about environmental enrichment things you can implement in the home to de-stress your cat: indoorpet.osu.edu, jacksongalaxy.com Here is another website link that discusses FLUTD more in detail to inform you about this condition. http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=611 And again, if you feel that your pet is not improving with the diet change and other recommendations OR you want to make absolutely sure this is the proper diagnosis, then I would recommend getting that second opinion or requesting an abdominal ultrasound be done on Salem in the near future.

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. It sounds as though the cats are stressed being near each other. If you have tried the natural products, I would recommend trying NaturVet Quiet Moments with Melatonin which can be found online or at your local pet store.

It's probably due to a bladder inflammation, it's very common in cats and is usually related to some sort of stress. it is a big problem especially in male cats, i strongly recommend taking him to the ER as he is in danger of getting blocked, which will be life threatening.

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Mamacat most likely has cystitis. It is usually related to bacterial infection of the bladder but it may be due to bladder crystals or stress. Please, take her to your local vets for an appointment, as most likely she will need a course of antibiotics to get better.
