Can Cats Cause Uti In Humans. A cat UTI is more common in female cats than male cats. If left untreated a UTI can lead to partial or complete blockage of the urethra.
Simple things like a dirty litter box dirty bed or an overall dirty environment that a cat spends time in can allow bacteria to enter a urethra and cause a urinary tract infection. Urinary tract diseases are common in cats and can cause discomfort and distress. Just as grains can cause urine with high levels of alkaline protein can cause acidic urine which at normal levels is healthy for cats.
The symptoms of toxoplasmosis include flu-like muscle aches and fever and headache.
Cats can transmit Toxoplasma to people through their feces but humans most commonly become infected by eating undercooked or raw meat or by inadvertently consuming contaminated soil on unwashed or undercooked vegetables. While nearly one-third of cats may not show symptoms of a UTI others will become very ill. The symptoms of toxoplasmosis include flu-like muscle aches and fever and headache. This infection may cause fevers abdominal pain vomiting diarrhea and other symptoms in humans.
