Blinking serves multiple purposes for both humans and felines. It helps to flush debris out of the eye, keeps the eye hydrated, and can even protect the eye from impacts and potential injuries. Sometimes, though, your cat may blink for other reasons, especially if they look at you while blinking slowly and deliberately. This special blink isn't so much a physical response as it is a way for your cat to get a message across to you. You can consider yourself lucky if your feline friend looks at you like this!

So, why do cats blink slowly when they look at you? Understanding this behavior can help you learn what they're trying to say and even help you communicate with your cat in the same way!

Urinary tract infections, or UTIs, are a common and pesky condition in humans. A UTI is an infection of a part of the urinary system, like the bladder, kidneys, or urethra, that can involve painful burning sensations when urinating. They affect about 10 out of 25 women and 3 out of 25 men at least once in their lives, according to the Urology Care Foundation.

Pet parents may wonder if their furry friends can get these types of infections, too. Unfortunately, they can. Cats of both sexes can develop UTIs, but the good news is that cat health experts don’t commonly see the issue when treating felines. However, it’s still good to think about the urinary tract when approaching your cat’s health.
