Is your beloved feline experiencing difficulty when they try to relieve themselves? Do you notice traces of blood in their urine or find them using spots outside their litter box? Initially, it might seem like a routine bladder infection, but there's often more to it.

Enter Feline Idiopathic Cystitis (FIC), a distressing condition characterized by bladder inflammation in cats. Unlike the typical urinary tract infections (UTIs) triggered by bacteria, FIC is a sterile disease. It tends to affect cats in their younger to middle-aged years, particularly those carrying some extra weight. While male cats are more susceptible, females aren't immune to its effects.

Living with FIC can be agonizing and exasperating for cats and their caregivers. Stress is typically the underlying trigger, and the bladder serves as the primary "stress organ" for our feline friends. The bladder can become vulnerable to stress-induced thinning despite being lined with protective layers.

Unravelling the precise sources of stress for your cat can prove challenging—changes in their environment, like the introduction of new pets or a shift in residence, often act as catalysts for FIC. Other stressors may include:

• Issues with the litter box.

• Conflicts with other pets.

• Even alterations in weather patterns.
