Description

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.

55 Cat with Cystitis
Verified Purchase

By on 20 February 2024

Works amazingly for my little man, only have to give him 1 a week and split the tablet in his wet meat (gravy). The vets said he would never get better, I got a 2nd opinion and was told to get this. Now Bam 7 years old is living a normal healthy life. (He started with Cystitis when he was 2)

Q & A

Below are some recent questions we've received regarding FELIWAY Cystease, including answers from our team.

Should Cystease be used regularly

Sharon Rhodes

Hello - My 7 year old tom cat recently had his first episode of Feline Idiopathic Cystitis, the vet explained that it is usually caused by stress but he is the most chilled out cat I have ever owned. He is however an indoor cat, a little over weight & previously ate a totally dry kibble diet. His diet has now been reduced slightly & also is now 50/50 wet & dry food. So hopefully this will help.
My question is, should I continue to regularly use the Cystease or should it just be used at times of stress or my cat showing urinating issues?
Thank you in advance.

  • VioVet Staff

Cystease contains ingredients to reduce stress and also encourage good bladder health and repair. It therefore is advised to use in the long term if your cat is predisposed to episodes of idiopathic cystitis as it may help prevent future episodes. It is impossible so say whether it is definitely necessary though in your particular cat. Your vet may be in a better position to advise.

Zylkene

Liz Falconer

Can Cystease and Zylkene be taken together long term please?

  • VioVet Staff

The two supplements contain different ingredients and so should not interact. Both work to provide a calming effect though so this may be quite marked when your cat is on both, you should monitor this closely.

Will taking cystease make my cat drink more?

Bea

My cat has been on cystease for around 9 months now which has helped his idiopathic cystitis a lot, however he is drinking a lot of water. Is this a consequence of taking the cystease or should I have him checked out for other problems? He is 12 years old.

  • VioVet Staff

Drinking more is not a known issue with Feliway Cystease. I recommend discussing this with your vet as it may be the sign of an underlying issue.

Can Cystease be used alongside Hills c/d wet cat food.

beezbuzz1967

Good Morning ...
one of our furbabies, Daisy, is on Hills c/d for maintenance of recurring crystals in her urine which caused blood in her urine and painful urination. I have been using cystease with this special diet for a 2 + years now. i am sure this was on my vets advice. however my question is does this supplement acidify cat urine ? and should we really be giving her this, plus the special diet ?
Kind Regards
From Debz

  • VioVet Staff

Cystease contains ingredients to help relieve stress and support the bladder, it does not contain any urine acidifiers. A urinary diet is the mainstay of preventing repeat urinary issues to it is advised to continue this if your vet has recommended one.
If stress contributes to your cat's urinary problems then it is worth continuing Cystease. However it is more optional than the urinary diet itself. If your vet has advised it specifically though then you should run this question past them as only they will be in the position to confirm whether it can be stopped safely.

Diabetic cat

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.

  • VioVet Staff

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.

Multi-use

Chloe-lousie

Please could you tell me if I can use this in-conjunction with Gabapentin & Meloxaid/Metacam which my boy is currently on, thank you!

  • VioVet Staff

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.

Is it safe for a cat with kidney disease take these

Angela

Hi can cystease be given to a cat with kidney disease? Thank you

  • VioVet Staff

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.

Recurring cystitis

Rebecca West

  • VioVet customer since 2016
  • From: Durham, United Kingdom

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?

  • VioVet Staff

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.
