Why cats don't pee?

Cats may not urinate due to the following reasons:


1. Urinary tract obstruction: Urinary tract obstruction is a common reason why cats cannot urinate. This condition usually occurs in male cats and may be related to urinary tract infection, stones or other urine flow disorders.


2. Cystitis: Cystitis is a common urinary tract disease in cats, which usually causes problems such as frequent urination, urgency and painful urination. In some cases, cystitis may cause cats to not want to go to the potty.


3. Emotional stress: Cats are very sensitive and may not want to go to the potty if they are nervous, anxious or scared. This usually happens when there is a change in the home environment, a new pet moves in or the owner is away frequently.


4. Healthy diet: Dietary problems may also cause cats to not want to urinate. If the cat's diet lacks water or its food is unhealthy, it may cause problems such as constipation or urinary tract infection.


It should be noted that if the cat has not urinated for a period of time, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Long-term holding back urine may cause serious physical problems and may threaten the cat's life safety. If you find that the cat does not want to go to the potty or has other abnormal behaviors, please take it to the veterinarian in time.
