Hello,
My name is Laura and I am very concerned about my 7 year old cat named Simba. He'll actually be 7 in August. I have noticed over the past few months that he has lost some weight. He weighed 23 lbs over a year ago but is now done to 17 lbs. He also has had quite the appetite and never seems to have enough to eat. My problem that I have been noticing over the past week is he has urinated twice on my bed and also "pooped" on my bed. He did throw up the night he pooped but he was okay after. Last night I saw that he was smelling my bed and I felt he was going to go to the bathroom on it again. I told him no and that he had to use his litterbox so he ended up running out of my room and into his litterbox.
I hate taking him to the vets because he hates it , cries the whole way there, poops on my hand when I put him in his carrier and also just the whole nerve factors for him and I.
Any ideas on what I should do or what may be wrong? I am thinking I should take him to the vet but has anyone seen this before?
Thank you in advance for your responses.
