After a nice nap in the window, Winnie headed out to the living room for a drink and I was able to catch her on video. She seems to be much steadier than she was yesterday but obviously has a ways to go to get back to normal. This has been a pretty typical pattern of motion for her the 3 times...

In my brief internet researching, I've found a few medical articles that tie hyperthyroidism to vestibular disease/ataxia. One of the journals printed a study where 8% of the feline participants showed signs of ataxia but most sites don't even mention it is a possible symptom (which is...

My girl Winnie is 17 now and has been in really good health for quite some time. We noticed some weight loss and an unusual amount of friendless but it wasn't too concerning until the day she started staggering around like a drunken sailor. We immediately took her to our vet where she was...

After a few more nights of experiments I have SOME hope that we may be able to pry Maizie away from the bathroom, provided we use a non-littermaid box. Her sterilite box is currently in the living room litter cabinet and we haven't found any mess on the floor the last couple of days. That is a...

Maizie has been a spoiled indoor cat for years now. When I first found her, I set her up in the spare bathroom because my husband told me I couldn't keep her (plus I needed to quarantine her from the others) :P I think that may be why she shows a preference for pottying in the tub? It reminds...

We've had multiple different types of litter across the 7 boxes and that apparently hasn't enticed her. We've even bought the litter attract in the hopes of luring her back to a box, any box, but it wasn't until we put her old sterilite container in the bathtub (with the normal litter mix) that...

We actually got her checked out when she first started exhibiting these bad behaviors and she is physically fine. I've also tried the litter that detects issues in urine and nothing appears to be amiss there. With a new baby on the way last year, we had to remove her favorite litterbox (a...

I've been dealing with litterbox issues for the past year or so with my 4 year old former stray and although I am VERY stubborn, I'm close to giving up at this point. Rather than run through all of the things we've tried I'll tell you where we are right now... 2 girls, 2 boys. The girl...

OK I'm back and looking for any more suggestions you can offer. A lot has happened since early June so here is where we currently stand: 1) We went ahead and put a cat door in the wall (even though my husband hated that idea) so the cats now have 2 different ways to get in and out of the main...

I actually had to throw the rug out the other day because even the daily cleaning was no longer able to contain the smell :P Oddly enough, they haven't taken to using that spot again. Now I'm left wondering if 1) They were just going back to the rug over and over because the biological...

The boxes are currently in two adjacent areas so probably close enough to feel the same. I've literally walked the house multiple times looking for a spot the might work for a second box (hence the failed experiment to put one outside hehe). We used to have one in the closet in our office...

This particular troublemaker is happy to use a box as long as it is located in a secondary location (near their favorite mat, in the guest bathtub etc). I'm sure this implies that they are not comfortable going in the primary location but I'm left wondering if they truly need a separate spot...

We have tried a basic sterilite (open) container but that only seems to help if it is in a secondary location. It really seems to be more of an issue with location than quantity or type of box, but thanks for the suggestion!

Morning TCS! I'll try to keep this brief but we've been having an exhaustive battle with litterboxes and I'm running out of ideas. After trying SO many different things our current set up is 5 cats, 6 automatic boxes. We've got 2 littermaids in a covered cabinet, 3 littermaids outside of a...

Maizie found yet another new toy today :) ~Heidi

Maizie as we've been calling her (although I'm still not 100% on that spelling) is quite the active little feline.  Yesterday I wandered into the guest bathroom and found that she had discovered a new toy.  Thought you all might appreciate the photos and video :) ~Heidi
