god knows,  but i do know you can get treats from some pet shops which
have cranberry stuff in them, dont; know the make but 'pets at home'
sell them for sure. I have never bought them so don;t know what cats
think of them.

i would have thought that cranberry juice by itself would be too sharp
for pusses to like, maybe if you dilute it?

What kind of cystitis? Does your cat have crystals? If so, what kind? Does
he have a bona fide urinary tract infection? Interstitial cystitis? Did you
vet advise you to give him cranberry juice?

Hi Catman, I'm assuming that you've had your cat to the vet and are using the
appropriate medical treatments (antibiotics, special diet etc.). Cranberry
was one of many things I used to cope with my kitty's recurring UTI. Once we
got it treated and the infection went away, I began to use cranberry extract
as a preventative measure. I didn't give him juice though. There is actually
very little of whatever makes cranberry good for the urinary tract in
cranberry juice. Instead of the juice, I would use a cranberry extract. It
can be bought in any pharmacy or health food store. If you get the capsules,
they can be opened up and the powder inside can be mixed in the cat's food.
This is obviously easier if you're feeding wet food, which you should be if
your cat is prone to urinary tract problems. My cat didn't even notice it in
his food. Best of luck!!

I don't care what you've heard- its not a good idea. Cranberries are very
high in benzoic acid- which is toxic to cats in high doses.
