Feline cystitis is associated with feline urological syndrome, feline lower urinary tract disease, and feline idiopathic cystitis. Feline cystitis means "inflammation of the bladder". The term ''idiopathic'' translates to unknown aetiology (causation). This is because the direct cause of feline cystitis is unknown; however, certain behaviors have been known to aid the illness once it has been initiated. It can affect both males and females of any breed of cat. It is more commonly found in females cats; however, when males do exhibit cystitis, it is usually more dangerous.〔Cannon, Martha. "Feline Medicine a practical guide for veterinary nurses and technicians". (Feline Medicine ) Elsevier Sciences〕 A common nickname for this type of illness is "crystals". This is because tiny crystals or sand like particles form within the urine. This can be treated. If this illness trails on too long then the cat's life may be at risk. ==Signs and symptoms== * Frequent bathroom trips to the litter box.〔Cannon, Martha. "Feline Medicine a practical guide for veterinary nurses and technicians". (Feline Medicine ) Elsevier Sciences〕 * Attempting to go to the bathroom with little urine passed. * Blood is present in the urine.〔Sands, David. "Cats 500 questions answered" (Cat Questions ) Barnes and Noble〕 * Odorous urine is being exhibited. * Irritability in their personality. * Urinating in other places of the house; not in their litter box. * Licking their genitals. * Lying on cold surfaces, such as tile floors or in showers (the cold surfaces help ease pain). * Experiencing pain in urination (crying). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Feline cystitis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
