Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are thankfully an uncommon occurrence in cats. UTIs affect the lower urinary system, including the bladder and urethra. They normally occur when bacteria travel up the urethra and enter the usually sterile urinary bladder, causing an infection. UTIs can become serious if not treated as soon as possible. The infection can move further into the kidneys and cause severe complications like acute kidney injury (AKI) and septicemia (bacteria in your cat’s bloodstream).

Imagine the excitement in the dog world when the tennis ball was invented. Some dogs have their humans trained to such an extent that they share a bed with them, but many dog owners, sensibly enough, draw the line there.
