Thanks all. I've been thinking about it to try and come up with some cause, and I believe ,too, it might be some allergy. I forgot to mention, I ran out of her normal off-brand canned cat food that I give her with her Myralax. Only give her 1/5 to 1/6 can a night because i don't want to...

I've noticed lately, while my cat is grooming, she pulls out small tuffs of hair. There's a few bare spots on her back and it looks like some flaking skin. Not much, but noticeable amounts of hair all over the carpet. Is that normal? In the late Spring, I brush her daily to remove all the...

Yeh I know it sad getting excited about a cat doing what's natural, but I was getting tired of picking up around the house.

Oh my Gosh! I bought some litter attractant and used it yesterday. It took a day, but she's using her box. I watched her sniff the box, climb in and drop a load. Hope it's not a freak occurrence.

It works! I burritoed her and the ordeal was over in less than 5 seconds. I was beginning to think I was a source of additional stress. she's regular stool wise. I cut the Myralax back to once a day a couple of days ago and discontinued it today because the stool is becoming too wet, if you...

For calming, I'll just put Scotch in her water. Oh wait, that's for me! Medicinal purposes-pain relief from cat scratches. I just find it hard for a cat to be stressed out. She's acting now as she always has.

Hmm, my reply didn't get posted. I did leave some droppings in each box and I'm getting some scent attracting crystals.

P.S. I didn't leave some poop in each box and I'm going to pick up some of Dr. Elsey's Cat Attract Crystals to hopefully coax her back to her box. Don't know how it works. Also I'm putting a third box downstairs next to her basement bed (storms, etc) since she's used the bed twice (poop).

I did try to mix it with a spoonful of wet canned cat food, but she smell the meds and walked away. I use the same food for the Myralax and she gobbles it down like I don't ever feed her.

Yes I was going to se if the vet rented straight jackets:D.

Update: I took her to the vet and urinalysis test determined she did not have a UTI. Kidney function was perfect and there was no crystals in the urine. There was a little blood in the urine so a steroid was prescribed. The vet said the constipation could have started the ball rolling on the...

Update: I took her to the vet today. Wow! Expensive! $275 and that's just for the exam and a urinary test. They wanted to do blood work and other tests, but I couldn't go for that now. And they couldn't even give me results today. Have to wait 4 days for the results. Then if it's a UTI...

I got the 2nd box set up near the bedroom (in the bath room). I finally found in her hiding spot after the storms today, she ate and drank and just spotted the original box. Keep an eye on the situation.

Didn't see an 'Edit' button after I posted. I'll check out the articles also, thanks.

At the first of the week, she was only peeing in the box. Now she's not doing that. Eating and drinking as normal. Stool is normal. Not dry but not runny either. I was planning a second box in the bedroom today. Another irregularity, she's been more reclusive last couple of days. Spending...
