Our cat stopped using the litter box.?

Does your cat stop using the litter box altogether?

My cat had loose bowel movements a few months ago. It lasted for a couple of days and then stopped and went on again. On those days, she would just go anywhere too. Normally, she is so clean. The vet said if she was having a tummy ache and a loose bowel, she could not control it. She did not stop using the litter box altogether. She just went outside her box a little too frequently to our liking. We brought her to the vet several times. She even stayed overnight for observation and IV.

Anyway, long story short, nothing cured her problem until we changed her cat food. She is now using Hill's prescription diet. It is only available from the vet and costs more than the regular one. But since she started the diet, she has never had a problem.

My cat is pretty old. Her bowel problems came suddenly. So the situation might be different. But a change of diet is surely something you can try.

Hope you get a solution soon.

Before I realised that my cat had a broken heel/ankle, she had been peeing in the closet, and I made a comment to my husband that cats will start doing things in inappropriate places when they are sick or something is wrong with them. It was the next day when I noticed that her back leg was swollen.

I would worry about the irregular bowel movements, as well. It could be a sign of a systemic or simply a bladder infection. Whenever the abdomen is exposed to the air from a wound or in surgery, it puts animals or humans at a greater risk for an infection. She may have been on antibiotics, but they may have not been the type for the specific infection that she may now have. One antibiotic does not work on all bacteria.

Call your vet, and see if they might be understanding to the fact that you have already paid them $700 for a problem that is obviously not fixed and may be due to being administered an antibiotic that is not working on the infection that they were obviously trying to prevent. You never know. It is worth asking.

Sometimes, even if the cat is already trained in using litter boxes, the owner usually finds his pet urinating or defecating just a few inches away from the litter box. The cat wants to use the litter box, and this can be proven by the proximity of the waste to the litter box. However, because the litter box is dirty, the cat opted not to use it.

The point here is that cats prefer to expel body wastes on clean areas. So make it a point to regularly check if the litter box is always clean and ready for your cat's use. The cleanliness of the area where the litter box is situated must also be checked frequently.

2. Cats do need privacy.

Do not expect your cat to defecate or urinate in busy areas because they also have the need for privacy. That is why most cats prefer to do their thing behind furniture, or in corners of rooms.

If he's pooping and peeing the position ever he needs/desires, he would have a habit concern or a clinical concern. If he's peeing everywhere in little spots, he would have a kidney or bladder concern. 8 years previous is youthful for a cat, yet when he's in soreness or at a loss for words or in simple terms in simple terms unable to thrive, you should communicate with his vet and make a decission about pursuing further care or putting him down. we've 4 cats and performance had no complications, thank goodness. this would nicely be an common restore, would not be - refer to the vet.

She may be trying to show you that she is not well by defecating in obvious places. Call the vet and explain that because of the price of the last treatment you would like some free advice. Be polite but persistent. Putting her outdoors, especially if she is not well, is not a good idea.

at least call the vet and explain the problem to get advice.

then call the spca and ask for assistance getting your cat treated.

they do take charity cases now and then, you just have to be persistent.

if your cat is doing this she's got something wrong with her and needs to be checked out.

You need to get help for the cat. and show more love
