A Study on Feline Factors Associated with the Risk of Urolithiasis: A Comparison between Theory and Survey Results

Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between feline housing conditions and the risk of urolithiasis. A total of 54 cat owners participated in the survey, providing insights into their cats’ living environments, dietary habits, water sources, and behavioral patterns. Data were collected using a 17-question Google Form, covering demographic information, housing type (single vs. group housing), medical history, and preventive practices. Preliminary findings suggest that cats living in group environments may have a higher likelihood of developing urolithiasis compared to those kept individually, with additional factors such as diet, water intake, and stress also appearing to influence the risk. Further statistical analysis is recommended to confirm the strength of these associations. Keywords: Feline urolithiasis; Group housing; Single housing; Risk factors; Cat health survey.
