Feliway Cystease Tablets – Pot of 30
Feliway Cystease Tablets are a nutritional supplement designed to support bladder health in cats. These tablets are often recommended for cats prone to Feline Idiopathic Cystitis (FIC), a common lower urinary tract condition. Each pot contains 30 tablets and is suitable for both short- and long-term use depending on the advice of a veterinary professional.
Feline cystitis is a relatively common condition, especially in younger and middle-aged cats. It causes inflammation of the bladder and leads to a variety of uncomfortable and sometimes distressing symptoms. The exact cause of Feline Idiopathic Cystitis is not always known, but stress, diet, and environmental factors often play a role. The word "idiopathic" means the condition arises spontaneously or from an obscure or unknown cause.
Common symptoms of cystitis in cats include frequent urination, straining to urinate, urinating outside the litter box, and the presence of blood in the urine. Cats with cystitis may appear restless, lick their genital area excessively, or vocalise during urination due to discomfort. These episodes may be recurrent and can be exacerbated by stress, environmental change, or a lack of enrichment in the cat’s home.

More Information
Description
Feliway Cystease Tablets are formulated with specific ingredients that support the bladder lining and help manage the stress-related components often linked to urinary issues. One of the key ingredients is N-acetyl Glucosamine, a natural building block of the bladder lining. This compound plays a crucial role in maintaining the protective glycosaminoglycan (GAG) layer that lines the inside of the bladder. When this layer becomes damaged or thin, it can allow irritants in the urine to inflame the bladder wall, which contributes to the symptoms of cystitis. Supplementing with N-acetyl Glucosamine helps to support the repair and integrity of this protective lining.
Another active ingredient is L-tryptophan, an amino acid that supports the production of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter associated with mood regulation and calmness. Since stress is considered a significant trigger in many cases of feline cystitis, L-tryptophan may help reduce the frequency and severity of flare-ups by promoting a sense of well-being in affected cats. Addressing stress through supplementation, alongside environmental modifications, can improve the overall management of FIC.
Feliway Cystease Tablets also contain hyaluronic acid, which further supports the integrity of the bladder lining. Hyaluronic acid works in conjunction with N-acetyl Glucosamine to maintain a healthy GAG layer, adding another layer of support against irritation and inflammation.
The tablets are small and can be administered whole or crumbled into food, making them easy to give to most cats. The exact dosage should follow the recommendations of a veterinary professional, particularly if the cat is already undergoing treatment for an ongoing urinary condition. While Feliway Cystease is not a medication, it is widely used as part of a comprehensive approach to managing lower urinary tract disease in cats.
Feline cystitis requires a multi-faceted approach to management. This may include dietary changes, increased hydration, environmental enrichment, stress reduction, and medical intervention when necessary. Nutritional supplements like Feliway Cystease provide targeted support that complements these strategies. By strengthening the bladder lining and addressing stress-related factors, these tablets play a useful role in the long-term wellbeing of cats prone to urinary issues.
Episodes of FIC may resolve within a few days, but they can be painful and distressing for both the cat and the owner. Recurrence is common, which makes ongoing management essential. Some cats may benefit from continuous supplementation, while others may require support only during periods of increased stress or after an episode has occurred. Cystease can be introduced as part of a wider strategy that includes behaviour modification, use of pheromone diffusers, and veterinary-guided nutritional plans.
While Feliway Cystease Tablets do not treat infections or bladder stones directly, they are frequently used in cases where there is no identifiable underlying cause. In such cases, supporting the bladder lining and reducing the impact of environmental stressors can lead to fewer recurrences and a better quality of life.
Veterinarians may also recommend these tablets following diagnostic tests that rule out other conditions such as urinary tract infections or urolithiasis. For cats that have experienced multiple episodes of cystitis with no infectious or anatomical cause, Cystease offers a proactive and non-invasive way to support bladder function over time.
