Congenital urinary tract disorders of young cats may result from heritable (genetic) or acquired disease processes that affect differentiation and growth of the developing urinary tract, or from similar disease processes that eventually affect the structure or function of the mature urinary system. Although congenital diseases of the feline lower urinary tract are uncommon, clinical signs associated with these anomalies may be indistinguishable from those of other acquired causes of lower urinary tract disease. Early detection and proper management of congenital disorders may result in restoration of urinary bladder and urethral function and/or progressive urinary tract dysfunction.
幼猫先天性泌尿系统疾病可能源于影响发育中泌尿系统分化和生长的遗传性（基因性）或后天性疾病过程，或源于最终影响成熟泌尿系统结构或功能的类似疾病过程。尽管猫下泌尿道先天性疾病并不常见，但与这些异常相关的临床症状可能与其他下泌尿道疾病后天性病因的症状难以区分。先天性疾病的早期检测和妥善处理可能会使膀胱和尿道功能恢复，和/或使泌尿系统功能逐渐恢复正常。
