Good idea... Maybe I'll talk to my vet (or find another) who would consider if medication is a possible option. I didn't know that stress can cause additional problems, but it makes sense. I wish I didn't have to work all day! She'd be much happier with retired folks... But my parents don't want...

Accidentally double posted... and don't see a delete post button! :rolleyes2:

Hey there everyone, So I have a situation where I'm striking out and don't know what to do to solve this issue with my kitty Clementine. It has definitely gotten worse in the last little while, which is why I'm coming to the forums for suggestions! A little about my cat's background: - she...

I'm in the same situation. I have an indoor only cat who is obsessed with food. I feed her about 1.5 mini cans of elegant medleys a day (85 g per can). Plus dry, which she eats minimally (she prefers wet). She will eat 2 of those cans a day if I let her. Any time I walk towards or past the...

Delete please - double post.

I've had her for 4 months now, and trust me when I say I've tried everything... (just read my original thread) * 3 different kinds of litter * more than one box * a larger box * cat attractant mixed in * enzyme/pet urine specific carpet cleaner * moving the box to the location she pees * Feliway...

Thanks so much for your perspective. That's good to know, and I appreciate how you described what she had to do, and how you felt she was pretty accommodating with her discount. I just wish I had been made aware going in. From a layperson's perspective, I have no idea that when she checked if...

That's my feeling too. Especially after I did a little research, and found it is possible to miss the scar. I feel more upset at the fact I didn't feel like I was treated well, considering how things went. And the way she told me came across "Oh, by the way..."

Thanks. It was certainly not the best news I've ever received from a vet. She is recovering well now, at the least.

Hi everyone, Earlier this summer I rescued a stray (or rather, she decided I would rescue her) and I'm still dealing with her litter issues. (tldr: she doesn't like to pee in her box, but in other specific places around my home) Someone recommended that I check if she was spayed or not, which...

I wonder why this vet didn't suggest this? Maybe I didn't find the greatest vet....

I took her yesterday to the vet for deworming meds specifically. So yes to that. Vet also checked her urine sample and wanted to do a blood test analysis. She did not suggest any parasite treatment.

Yes, she's on grain-free kibble. But I have given her a few different samples, as well as feeding her a medium-sized bag of something I bought. That might be part of the reason for the stink.

I am. I really don't like the gritty sand under my feet in my bathroom, that she inevitably kicks up. I know about the mats, but my bathroom isn't big and somehow the grit ends up everywhere. I much prefer the soft sawdust that I can easily sweep up. You may be right, but just to be clear...

Ugh... I'm at the end of my rope. :( Yesterday was another day of her thinking about where to pee, and me convincing her to pee in her box. I took her to the vet this morning. The vet did a urine sample which came back alright, except that her pee was quite concentrated. She also gave her...

Thanks guys :) I bought a feliway diffuser today. Man, those things are pricey! Soon after I got home this evening, she started looking like she was going to pee... Checking out her box, then checking out her "other" spots.. of course, nothing there besides carpet now... Ha. I called her back...

Tonight, I came home after being out this afternoon. With the excitement of seeing me and finally getting her dinner, I could see she was thinking about peeing. She walked to her primary litter box, gave it a sniff, and then walked away. She started to suss out her "other" spots to pee...

I am trying this. I heard her checking it out at some point but after that she ignored it. I noticed that the pellets in her litter box are breaking down, so I think she IS peeing in her box, but also peeing in these other places. This morning she peed on the clothes I left on my floor last...

She's not peeing on carpet. She's peed in my plastic laundry basket (which is kind of like an oversized-shaped litter box, I guess) and on a folded blanket that's sitting on my floor. For the past few days, she hasn't been peeing in the basket, and has only peed just on the blanket. Both...

I don't know this for sure. It did start before the pine pellets were introduced. And she didn't have any issues in the kennel, which was pellets. I can certainly try going back to the clumping just to see, but I don't know if it will make a difference. Litter box is located in the ensuite...
