How to stimulate cats to urinate? It can be helpful to urinate by providing some gentle massage techniques, such as gently massage the cat’s belly or tail base, or gently massage the top of their head and neck.
1. Newly-born kittens
Because new-born kittens do not excrete independently, they need the female cat or owner to promote urination by stimulating the urethral opening. If the mother cat is not with the kitten, the owner needs to gently wipe the kitten's urethra with a cotton swab or a soft tissue. Generally, the kitten will start urinating after a while. Usually, it will be used to relieve the kitten once every time it is fed.
2. Adult cats
1. Let the cat drink more water
If the cat usually eats a dry diet and drinks less water, there is not enough water in the body to operate and metabolize, and urine cannot be excreted from the body. Therefore, at this time, the owner should find a way to guide the cat to drink more water, help it replenish the water needed by the body, and speed up the production of urine.
If a cat doesn't like drinking water, the owner can make the cat like drinking water by adding pet-specific goat milk powder, bone soup, chicken soup, etc., or prepare an automatic water dispenser for the cat to increase the cat's curiosity about water and drink more water.
2. Seek medical treatment in time
If a cat suffers from urinary system diseases, such as bladder stones, cystitis, urinary tract stones, etc., pain or urethral blockage will cause the cat to not urinate normally, and it will also be accompanied by hematuria and frequent urination. At this time, stimulation is useless. You need to take the cat to the pet hospital for examination to see what is the specific cause, and then use symptomatic medication or surgical treatment.
