Hi. Sorry I don't know if the terms are different from humans.
I have a 1 year old female spayed cat. She has problems with dry food. (Only 1 brand. I haven't got to try other brands). When she eats dry food, she meows in the litter. I've checked all the time and she does pass pee. But she meows. It's also not a cry but also not normal.
Spoke to the vet, she is all good other than this problem so came to the conclusion it's cystitis. I'm now giving her Cystophan Urinary supements with dry food completely removed.
She doesn't appear stressed however she does appear bored. I'm sadly struggling with both mental and physical issues so I don't play with her but when I can convince her to play with her toys, she does. For hours. Washing machine, dryer, and relatives nebuliser are sounds that bother me a lot personally. I don't know if she is bothered or stressed by them or not. I try to put her in my room and close the door but it seems like she prefers to be out in the noise.
I have also booked a vet appointment to discuss all of this in person and so they can do in person examination. This is in 2 weeks and today I have found something wrong with her viginal area.
Just like a human fissure on anus, she had a very very tiny hair thin crack on her upper part of vagina. However without dry food, she does not seem to be bothered at all. Does not lick or anything. Pees normally and no meowing. It's only when the dry food comes back. I've not had the chance to tell the vet as it's weekend but I wanted to ask here for advise.
I dont want to attempt anything as she is forgotten about it. I think the dry food causes acidic urine which stings the cut. I think she and I would prefer that but cystitis. That means it's just a cut on her viginal area and nothing wrong internally.
Would appreciate some advise until I tell the vet on Monday
