Feliway Cystease (previously Cystease S / Cystease Advanced) is a tablet given to cats to help encourage urinary health. As stress is considered the main factor in urinary health, it is recommended to use alongside the Feliway calm-inducing diffusers which are available from VioVet here . Various factors have been recognised as being associated with the urinary problems, such as obesity, dried biscuit diets and stress due to environmental factors (often from other cats).
Feliway Cystease also contains Hyaluronic Acid and L-tryptophan. Hyaluronic Acid provides further help to the lining of the bladder wall, whereas L-tryptophan has a calming and de-stressing effect on cats generally. The results are even better if Cystease is combined with the pheromone calming effect of a Feliway Diffuser which can be bought separately and used at the same time.
Cystease tablets should be given once or twice daily to an average sized cat. Once the problem has been brought successfully under control, it is often possible to reduce to a lower rate. This can be increased again if a stressful period or event is anticipated.
Cats prone to this type of bladder problem do better if they have a higher fluid intake, which helps produce more dilute urine. The problem is very unusual in cats which are not producing concentrated urine. Therefore we would recommend that most of the diet consists of wet, not dry food. Obese cats are more prone to trouble too, so the total amount of food provided should be restricted so as to keep the cat's bodyweight to the ideal level.

Below are some recent questions we've received regarding FELIWAY Cystease, including answers from our team.
Tom
My cat has recently been diagnosed with diabetes and keeps getting urine infections. Will this help keep the urine infections away? If so how long would I have to treat him for with Cystease. Thank you.
Cystease will help support bladder repair and normal function, as well as providing a calming effect for your cat as stress can often predispose cats to urinary tract issues. It is unlikely to prevent repeat infections as the cause of this is the excessive sugar in the urine from the diabetes. Your pet may benefit more from a urinary diet but before any dietary changes are made in a diabetic cat, you should chat to your vet. Any change in diet can affect your cat's insulin requirements.

Please could you tell me if I can use this in-conjunction with Gabapentin & Meloxaid/Metacam which my boy is currently on, thank you!
Yes Feliway Cystease is safe to use with Gabapentin and Meloxaid or Metacam. If your pet is being treated for urinary tract issues by your vet then it is worth running the use of the supplement past them, to ensure it is safe for use in your pet.
Angela
Hi can cystease be given to a cat with kidney disease? Thank you
The ingredients within Cystease should be safe to use even if your cat has kidney disease. However I would run this past your vet, any dietary changes should always be checked past your vet to ensure they do not interfere with your treatment plan.
Jamie Cooper
My cat is on medication for hyperthyroidism, he has Thyronorm is it safe to use with this medication?
Yes Feliway Cystease and Thyronorm are perfectly safe to use together.
Cheryl
My cats on steroids is this product still safe to use?
Yes this product is safe to use alongside steroid medication.

I have a 6 yr old male neutered domestic cat who since april has been to vets numerous times. Each time bladder is empty and get given metacam. Will these tablets help him at all?
These tablets are indeed intended for cats exactly like yours. "Idiopathic cystitis" is one of the names used to describe the condition and it certainly seems to help using a product like this. It has to be given for a few weeks before it is fully effective, then has to be given long-term.
My guess is that your cat is predominantly on dried food. It is not always the case, but most cats with this problem are on dried food. If this is the case, you have the option of stopping almost all the dried food and giving wet only (tins, pouches etc). Cats virtually never get this type of cystitis if they are producing dilute urine and many cats on dried food just produce concentrated urine instead of drinking more water. A very moist food will largely eliminate this effect. It also encourages cats to drink if you leave 1 or 2 drinking bowls (glass or ceramic ideally) on windowsills or other places where your cat tends to go (away from the feeding area). This will help and might be enough to stop him from getting the problem again.
Jane Crookes
My cat is currently on a renal diet as she has kidney disease. Is it ok to use this alongside as she has always suffered with bouts of cystitis?
This product is safe to use in the presence of reduced kidney function. I would say though that it is intended for "Idiopathic cystitis" which is the commonest cause of cystitis in younger cats, but tends not to happen as much in older cats. (Cats with reduced kidney function tend to produce larger volumes of dilute urine and this seems to protect against the usual type of idiopathic cystitis.) If cystitis does occur in a cat such as yours now, it is more likely to be a bacterial cystitis which Cystease is not intended for.
You can certainly use Cystease but if you see the symptoms of cystitis, it would certainly be worth having your vet check her over.

Hi my cat is a ragdoll vet just diagnosed with asthma anyone else have this problem and if so any recommendations ?
Thanks in advance.
Margaret
Feline asthma is diagnosed sometimes. It varies enormously in how badly it affects any particular individual, from a mild, intermittent cough to serious and sudden difficulty breathing. Treatments are similar in many ways to those given to people with asthma and often involve steroids. On occasions antibiotics are given too if it is felt that secondary infection of the airways is involved, though this is not usual. Your vet is the best person to advise you what to do.
Barbara
Do the tablets cause thirst as my 17 yr old since taking them seems to be thirstier and a bit off her normal food?
Increased thirst is not normally noticed with this product, but this is a symptom which should be checked by your vet. The condition of idiopathic cystitis which Cystease is normally used for, is not common in 17 year old cats (they more commonly get septic cystitis which might need antibiotics). I would suggest that you see your vet.
