In male cats, the crystals may plug the urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder, through the penis, to the outside of the body).

As a result, diets were developed to minimize the risk of forming struvite. These diets were low in magnesium and cats eating them produced an acidic (low pH) urine.
