    Cat claws frequently bleed after playing aggressively. Is this normal?

    My cat is 1.5 years old spayed female. She likes to sprint around the house , jump around, and chase her toys. I have found her claws bleeding multiple times, usually after she is finished playing. Has anyone ever seen this behavior before and is it normal? It's been more than a week since I...

    My 1.5 yr old cat steps on her poop while using the litterbox, and tracks poop around the house.

    My cat has gotten better with not stepping on her stool. I ended up doing several things to retrain her: 1. During daily training sessions, I lured her into the litterbox several times using treats, and made sure that she walked around inside the litterbox. I did this in hopes that she becomes...

    My 1.5 yr old cat steps on her poop while using the litterbox, and tracks poop around the house.

    Ever since her poop firmed up, she will now do one of the following: 1. Kick her poop out of the litterbox while attempting to bury her poop. The poop outside the litterbox is coated in clumping litter- I strongly believe she pooped inside the litterbox, but kicked it out of the box. 2. Not bury...

    My 1.5 yr old cat steps on her poop while using the litterbox, and tracks poop around the house.

    I just want to give an update. I started giving her pumpkin, and her poop did firm up and became noticeably less smelly, but she now randomly doesn't bury her poop, or kicks poop out of the litter box. The poop that is just outside of her litterbox is covered in clay litter, suggesting she did...

    My 1.5 yr old cat steps on her poop while using the litterbox, and tracks poop around the house.

    It's hard for me to tell what's normal or abnormal because I've never owned a pet before. When she poops, the room with the windows closed mildly smells like poop for 1-3 minutes before the smell completely dissipates. If she poops at night in the litterbox, I do not smell the poop the next...

    My 1.5 yr old cat steps on her poop while using the litterbox, and tracks poop around the house.

    Thanks for the reply. I am using clumping litter (Arm & Hammer Clump & Seal, Fresh Step Clean Paws). I changed her litter often because I had to clean the litterbox- the sidewalls had smeared poop on them. She has two litterboxes: one of them is a regular pan design, and the other is a hooded...

    My 1.5 yr old cat steps on her poop while using the litterbox, and tracks poop around the house.

    I am a new pet owner. I adopted a 1.5 year old, spayed, domestic short hair cat from a shelter about a month ago. I have no other pets. She has a wonderful and playful personality, but she has a problem of stepping on her poop while burying her poop in the litterbox. I estimate only about 25% of...
