Hello everyone. I'm Susie. I haven't been on TCS for a long time and for that, I'm sorry. Life has a way of taking us in different directions, but the one thing that has never changed is my love for my furbabies. If any of you remember me, (which really doesn't matter), I have a situation I was hoping you guys could give me some fresh ideas on.
I have 4 kitties, Petals, 11, Tigger, 10, Bailey, 7 and Emily 4. They've all been real good kitties and I love them like my own children. Tigs has had some health problems in the last 6 months. Took him to the vet and he did a bunch of tests and they all came back basically ok. He had been losing weight was why I took him. So he gave me antibiotics incase there was an infection somewhere and told me to bring him back if he seemed to be getting worse. Well, he seems to be getting better and still seems fine.
I went on vacation for 5 days almost 2 weeks ago. When I left I put out extra litter boxes and food/water, because my friend who cat sits could only come once in that 5 day period. I thought, well ok, I'll just give them lots of extras and they'll have eachother to keep one another company.
I got home and everything seemed fine. Debi said she cleaned up two vomits (which is nothing new) but other than that, all seemed well.
Ever since I got home, someone has been pooping outside the litter box. At first it was just outside the litter box. Now it's in different rooms! I didn't know who it was at first, but have since caught Tigger doing it! He hunched over the other day right in front of me here while I was on the computer!!!!! I couldn't belevie my eyes. He's always used the litter box!
I'm at a loss as to what to do for him. I havne't changed the litter, nor the location of the boxes. At first I thought he was doing it out of spite for leaving them alone but I've been home for almost two weeks! I truly don't think it's a medical thing. I think it's a behavorial thing, but can't figure out what to do or how to break him of this! I can't have him doing this for fear the others might start as well! Any suggestions/help you guys could give would be greatly apprecaited!
