Is it possible to get a UTI from my cat?

Question

Hello! I think my kitten has a urinary infection... (I'm going to the vet in a few days). Anyway, I wanted to make sure that when I do her litter box, I can't "catch" the bacteria that is causing the infection? Yes, thank you! My question was more: Can I get a UTI from my cat? For example, ''catching'' the bacteria by cleaning the litter box. Of course, I wash my hands after cleaning the litter box.

Hello, thank you for your question! It will be strongly recommended to empty the litter box daily, and to wash your hands well afterwards before doing anything else. It is also recommended to change the sand at least once a month, because scooping the litter doesn't do it all. I hope I've been of some help to you, and if you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to contact me Tom Samaha, pharmacist This is extremely unlikely, if not impossible
