My next step was to put food there, but I haven't had to go there quite yet. I put in two Feliway diffusers - one in the main room and one in the room with the litter boxes. So far we've only had one or two inappropriate elimination episodes since I first posted and tried these new ideas...
Thanks for responding! Yes, the vet is very involved. Chloe's levels are really bad; we weren't sure she was going to pull through and improve after she crashed. In fact, the vet said if Chloe could read her own file, she'd probably roll over and give up. Fortunately the two cats aren't related...
Got another box (#4) and put Cat Attract Senior litter into it. Neither cat seems interested, but it looks like Chloe used one of the old boxes. We just gave her fluid tonight, so the test will be tomorrow...to see if she uses the boxes or not as she absorbs and passes fluids. Crossing my fingers!
Thank you! Chloe does that too, actually - stands and pees on the sides of the boxes! I will look for the pottie pads and see if that helps. Again, thank you!
Thanks for the reply! I haven't changed litters recently. I used Cat Attract for a time last year and neither cat seemed to have issues with it, nor did the seem to mind when I went back to the stuff I had been using prior (and since). But new boxes might be a good first start. My husband just...
We discovered recently that one of our two 8 year old cats, Chloe, very likely has chronic kidney disease (renal failure). Part of what prompted the vet visit a couple of weeks ago was finding cat pee in our living room, which we'd never experienced before. My research tells me that...
I learned a few years ago when Martha Stewart was on Oprah - someone else posted the link. I googled for the info and found this really cute photo explanation. Very appropriate for TCS.
I try to check it everyday, but sometimes I forget. Particularly on Saturdays if we don't go anywhere. Otherwise I pick it up when we (DH and I carpool) come home from work.
It's not often that we get involved - usually if there is ongoing crying or severe hissing. Generally raising our voices or standing up is enough to break them up. They're pretty good for the most part about not taking it too far.
Oh yes, that's a problem in our house too. I'm just waiting for the day that kitties try to climb the shelves. Maybe that will cure him. But probably not!
I used to practically live at the library when I was a kid, but sadly don't read nearly as much as I used to. It used to be I finished a book in a day. Now it can take weeks or months. I would use the library more if it didn't take me so long to get through those I checked out.
I happened to get this in an email from them (I've ordered there before) but I ALWAYS do an online coupon search before I purchase anything over the internet.
