You've noticed little dribbles of cat urine where she sleeps, sits or even after she leaves your lap when she's done with you. These wet and disconcerting pee spots means your cat is suffering from feline incontinence. Here is help to understand the causes and what you can do to help her.

A cat with incontinence is unable to control their urination. The cat may dribble urine or leave wet spots in an area where they have been sleeping. Feline incontinence is often a problem that they are unaware of and there can be many things that will cause it. Below are some of the top causes of feline incontinence.

Cause 1: If your cat has had frequent urinary problems, then it could be that the bladder has become scarred. This will prevent it from being able to expand to hold more urine, which will lead to a more frequent emptying of the bladder.

Cause 2: If your cat has had frequent urinary problems, then it could be that the bladder has become scarred. This will prevent it from being able to expand to hold more urine, which will lead to a more frequent emptying of the bladder.

Cause 3: Bladder stones can cause a blockage in your cat's urethra. This will make it impossible for the cat to completely empty their bladder. Pressure when the bladder fills with urine could force out some of it. If you suspect this problem get your cat to the vet right away, as it can be fatal within a day or two.

Cause 4: Diabetes can often cause incontinence in cats. A cat who is diabetic will often drink a lot more water than usual, because the disease will make the cat thirsty. It does this to help the cat flush excess sugar out of the body. Unfortunately, this will also make the cat urinate more often. They may have trouble making it to the litter box in time.
