My Cat’s Pee Was Too Alkaline—Here’s What Worked

Ever had a vet tell you your cat’s pee is too alkaline? Yeah, me neither—until my cat started peeing outside the box and I learned about FLUTD the hard way. Cue the panic-Googling. Turns out, struvite crystals are a thing, and they’re as bad as they sound. So, here’s what actually helped: I ditched the kibble and went full wet food. (Sorry, Crunchy Bits, you’re out.) I also became that person with water bowls in every room—my cat thinks she’s living in a spa now. Bonus: a cat fountain. She’s obsessed. Pro tip: don’t swap foods overnight unless you want to clean up cat barf. Mix it up over a few weeks. And yes, I watched her litter box like a hawk—more pee clumps = good news. If you’re worried, get your vet to check the pH right away. Don’t DIY this one. Trust me, your cat’s bladder will thank you. #CatHealth #FLUTD #PetCare #Pets #Cats
