Cat Peeing Outside the Litter Box, Straining, or Producing Bloody Urine?

Urinary signs in cats can come from infection, inflammation, crystals, stones, or other lower urinary tract problems. The Kedi Labs UTI BioScreen & Culture for Cats combines a complete urinalysis with culture and susceptibility testing when indicated, giving you laboratory information to share with your veterinarian.

From symptoms to answers

1. Start with the symptom: This test is designed for cats with frequent urination, accidents outside the litter box, blood in urine, straining, or recurring urinary concerns.

2. Collect at home: Replace regular litter with the included hydrophobic litter and collect the urine using the supplied syringe and container.

3. Send it to Kedi: Package and ship the sample according to the kit instructions.

4. Veterinary lab testing: The laboratory performs a complete urinalysis and, when indicated, culture and susceptibility testing to look for bacterial infection and help guide antibiotic selection.

5. Get clear results: Your report includes urinalysis findings and any culture information generated by the lab.

6. Know what comes next: Share the report with your veterinarian to help determine whether additional evaluation or treatment is needed.

Important: A cat that is repeatedly straining but producing little or no urine may have a urinary blockage. This can be life-threatening, especially in male cats, and requires immediate veterinary care rather than a mail-in test.

What's Included

Test Component Category Why It Matters
Complete Urinalysis Diagnostic Evaluates physical, chemical, and microscopic urine findings including pH, specific gravity, glucose, ketones, bilirubin, crystals, red and white blood cells, casts, and bacteria.
Culture & Susceptibility When Indicated Infection Evaluation If laboratory findings indicate that culture is appropriate, the sample can be cultured to identify bacteria and assess antibiotic susceptibility.
Sterile Hydrophobic Litter Kit Collection Hydrophobic litter helps make non-invasive urine collection at home easier.

Sample Requirements

Urine: Replace your cat's regular litter with the included hydrophobic litter. Once your cat urinates, collect the sample using the provided syringe and container.

Pro Tip: Use a clean litter box and collect the sample as soon as possible after urination. Follow the kit's storage and shipping instructions closely.

Frequently Asked Questions

What symptoms can urinary problems cause in cats?
Common signs include frequent trips to the litter box, straining, vocalizing while urinating, blood in urine, urinating outside the litter box, or passing only small amounts of urine.

Could it be something other than a UTI?
Yes. Inflammation, crystals, bladder stones, and other feline lower urinary tract conditions can cause similar signs. Urinalysis can provide useful clues, but your veterinarian may recommend additional testing or imaging depending on the findings.

Can I collect the sample at home?
Yes. The kit includes hydrophobic litter and collection supplies for at-home urine collection.

WHEN TO TEST

If your pet exhibits any of these common symptoms:

  • Frequent Urination: Cats that urinate more frequently than usual, this may indicate underlying urinary tract issues.
  • Straining to Urinate: If a cat appears to be making repeated attempts to urinate, especially if they produce only small amounts or none at all, it could be a sign of a urinary problem.
  • Blood in Urine: Hematuria, or blood in the urine, may be visible to the naked eye or detected through urinalysis. It can indicate various urinary issues, including infections, stones, or trauma.
  • Inappropriate Urination: Cats that start urinating outside of the litter box, or in unusual locations, may be experiencing discomfort or pain while urinating.
  • Painful Urination: Vocalization or signs of discomfort during urination can be a strong indicator of a urinary problem, such as a urinary tract infection (UTI) or bladder inflammation.
  • Lethargy: Cats with urinary issues may become lethargic or seem less active than usual due to discomfort or pain.
  • Increased Thirst: Polydipsia, or increased thirst, often accompanies urinary problems and can be associated with conditions such as kidney disease, diabetes, or UTIs.
  • Change in Urine Color or Odor: A sudden change in the color or odor of a cat's urine can be indicative of an underlying issue, such as a urinary infection or the presence of crystals or stones.
  • Previous Urinary Issues: Cats with a history of urinary problems, such as urinary tract infections or urinary blockages, may require regular monitoring through urinalysis, especially if they are prone to recurrence.
  • Monitoring Chronic Conditions: Cats with chronic conditions like diabetes or kidney disease may need periodic urinalysis to assess their condition and response to treatment.
  • Follow-up After Treatment: Urinalysis with C&S may be recommended after treating a previous urinary issue to ensure that the infection or problem has been resolved.
