Hello -
I've been a cat mom for a long time, but have never owned a declawed cat before. Yesterday we adopted a female declawed Maine Coon mix from a private party. It was a little urgent because she was living in a house with huskies that didn't like cats. We've always had great success with Dr. Elsey's Precious Cat clumping litter, but this cat (although she is using the cat box) is having some trouble. She destroys the clumps after peeing, and tonight she came out of the box with her back feet soaked in urine. She has also not pooped yet, but it has only been 30 or so hours since she arrived home.
She seems a little "off" in general, not eating much, tail is twitching quite often. But she is social, wandering the house. She is our only cat and only pet at present.
My questions:
Does anyone have a recommendation on a litter for declawed cats?
Any thoughts on this urine-soaked back feet thing?
Thanks for any help! Patti
