Hi,
My cat is a 10 year old, neutered male. He was under the weather recently for a couple of days due to a hair ball, which thankfully he managed to cough up.
I went to pets at home to get hair ball paste the other day which I have been giving him every night without issue.
He has never had a UTI and he is happy, eating, playing and weeing and pooping. I haven't been using clumping litter so at the moment, I am unable to be sure of how much he is urinating. I did notice the other day that he went in his litter box, dug around and then walked out, he did it a couple of times. He wasn't meowing or showing any visible discomfort.
When I was in pets at home I saw this:
Is this okay to give him for a few days just in case he is having any issues? It has DL-Methionine as an ingredient. Would it create problems if he had no issues in the first place? The assistant at the shop said that it wouldn't do him any harm. Would it help prevent a UTI? I have googled this but I haven't found an answer!
I would be grateful if anyone could advise as I am torn, I don't want to do more harm than good.
Thank you for reading.
