Molly was diagnosed in the latter part of 2006 with Feline Idiopathic Cystitis (FIC)
Due to the elongated process of our house move, she has been prescribed Amitriptyline to reduce her stress and aid in the prevention of further flare ups or the development of an UTI. She has also been on and off Cystaid (glucosamine) when she shows signs of a flare up.
Just before Christmas, Molly pee'd out of her tray, so we made our vet visit to find that she was holding her urine well and there were no signs (yet) that a flare up was about to come on. She was back on the Cystaid, Metacam and had her Amitriptyline upped.
This morning, my friend informed me that Molly had been aggitated and was looking between the covered box in the lounge and the hammocks. She bolted for the hammock and started to wee - my friend picked her up and she went straight to the box to finish.
I'm at a bit of a loss as to why she is doing this as we've been doing all we can to maintain the routine and harmony for her (we have three Feliway Plug ins, Feliway spray, three water fountains and numerous bowls of water around the house, numerous trays and I clean her accidents thoroughly with Simple Solution)
She has also become rather vocal lately and is getting very attached to me (she always has been a Mummy's girl, but she's now taking it out on the other kitties of the house when they even dare to get near to me)
I have spoken to my vet and have checked Molly's bladder - which seems good! We are just to continue with her medication and try even harder to reduce the moving stress.
Does anyone have any other ideas that we could possibly try to help my sweet little girl!
