Hello,

I just got pretty litter and it's coming up blue. Green and yellow are normal, blue is high and red is severe. Do I need to panic now or should I wait a bit and see if it goes to a normal color.

Thanks!

I have heard of this litter but I haven't used it.  The way I understand it is the same deal as pH strips, it alerts you if your kitties urine is too alkaline.  Urine with a high pH predisposes kitties to crystals.  There are things that can temporarily change urine pH so if there are no symptoms I would probably give it a few days to see if it continues.  A high protein diet with very few if any grains helps keep urine pH down.  If you aren't feeding a grain free food that doesn't contain a lot of fillers you might want to consider a diet change.

I've been feeding fromm https://frommfamily.com It's suppose to be a pretty good brand. But yeah, it's dry. He does drink a lot. When I took him to the vet last he was under weight so I switched him to dry to help him gain.
