Thanks @Antonia65, I have not had a sick pet for a very long time, so not sure what the rules are here. On a very positive note, Abra didn't drink a ridiculous amount of water overnight probably only about 50ml and although she still has quite a bit of urine for overnight it hasn't filled the...

I wonder if it is the pyelonephritis that you mentioned. I wasn't sure on the water intake, I knew that she always seemed to be at her water bowl over the last week or so, it wasn't until I started actually measuring that I knew how much it was. The vet said the 200-300 per day is way too much...

Hi @Antonio65, she still seems a bit off she, she is not eating much (but that may be from the sedation and shot) and has drunk over 300ml of water today (which is still too much). She has seemed to have lessened her urine output but again it is still more then it was a few weeks ago. The vet...

Thanks for your thoughts @Tobermorey. My vet has been amazing and has gone above and beyond, I wasn't expecting so much care from them to be honest. I am sure she will be fine soon.

UPDATE: Thanks everyone for all your help with the urine sample suggestions etc. Abra did end up going into the vet yesterday for the day. She was sedated and urine taken and more checks etc done. With the blood test and urine test both now back they have decided to treat Abra for a kidney...

Thanks for the update @LTS3, after I updated on here yesterday the vet called me to see how it was going and I told them what was going on and he said not to worry her any more with trying to get the sample and they would do it instead. So Abra will be going in on Tuesday (because of Easter...

Thanks for the advice @LTS3. When you have done this, do your cats notice or because they are in the middle of going they can't do much about it? I will have a look what options I have that she won't notice are under her.

Hi everyone, sorry for delay in my response as there is a bit of a time difference. Thank you everyone for your suggestions. @Tobermorey Lily's idea on the box seems to be exactly the same as Abra's (no way am I peeing in there!). I think I made it all worse last night after I posted. Abra...

Hi All Abra Rose went to the vet yesterday for the past few weeks she has been a bit off and not herself. Hiding more than usual, meowing a lot more and biting fur out of her paws, it then escalated over the weekend to excessive urine output and drinking lots of water on top of these other...

I have been keeping up with your post and think @Columbine has great advice about the extra urine test for Buddy. If the extra boxes, boxes without lids, cat attract litter, feliway and special food are all still not working I think you may have to go back to the vet (I would take both cats as...

Tabbytom has good advice, soil from outdoors can help cats get used to the litterbox you just gradually mix the % of soil and litter until there is only litter. Have you tried cat attract litter? How many litterboxes do you have? Could Patches be blocking Buddy from accessing the litterboxes...

I am not sure i can be much help. Is the issue because the door is shut and he doesnt like closed doors? My cat hates doors closed and meows at any door that is shut in the house. She is not allowed in our bedroom at night but i keep the door open a few inches (just enough that its not closed...

Sometimes alot of posts happen at the same time and I have noticed sometimes get missed. I agree with Aldewyne this sounds like personality. Mittens suckling on blankets could possibly be a habit that he just does (I think it can be a sign of being taken from mum too soon but dont think this in...

Hi if she is eating drinking toileting etc normally it may be after 2 months of living with you she is now used to her new territory and no longer needs constant reassurance from you as you have proved to her that you are there when she needs you. I also live in Australia (brisbane though) and...

Are her daytime habits the same? Is she eating drinking toileting normally? A sudden change in behaviour could require a vet visit to rule out illness just in case. Another thought is a mouse or other rodent in the wall? My cat is locked out of the bedroom at night but she has never known any...

Hi again just wanted to give another update and I guess get some info from anyone that has experience in the below. I was unable to get a worming tablet into Abra (tried 4 times) but did a replacement of her feliway she then had no bowel issues until this week. She has had soft smelly stool...

I like the idea of gifts from your pets to kids mine boys are to old to care now but I could add my cats name to their card like Neely does. I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and New Year it has been nice getting to know everyone on TCS.

Thanks for the quick replies I am glad I am not the only one. Thats a good idea on some little things and the practical gift of the furminator is a good move. My husband just shook his head when we were going through who we needed to buy for and I put Abra on our list 128512

Not sure if this is the right place to post but was wondering if anyone is getting their pets a Christmas gift and if so what are you thinking of getting them? I was thinking of getting Abra a 2nd scratching post as she loves hers so much. Even though she has no idea its Christmas 128516

My cat doesnt bury her poo scratches the box for ages and she is the same as Mia very sweet does what she is told etc and I have also read what elliesvictim mentions about dominance if cats dont bury so it is strange. Is it because their mum hasn't shown them what to do maybe?
