I will try to get to the point quickly. I ended up leaving my cat Frankie in my fathers care because my husband had triple bypass surgery. And the distance from our home to hospital was quite a distance. Anyhow, I left my dad with care instructions for Frankie and checked up on both of them daily. I even made it my business to go visit Frankie because he was depressed from me not being around. Well, two nights ago I was able to bring Charles (my husband) and Frankie back home. Charles is doing well and Frankie is acting.... different. I am a first time cat owner and I am quite a paranoid mama. I monitor Frankie as if he was a new born which he isn't. He is a 2 year old male that has been fixed.
The day I was bringing Frankie home in his cat carrier... ( he hates the cat carrier ) he was pretty mad at me. And he ignored us both for majority of the ride. An hour into the ride Frankie starts meowing without stop and I thought he was just begging me to let him out of the cat carrier. Then we both smelled the reason for his crying. Frankie had to use the bathroom and ended up doing a number 1 and 2 in his bag.
I got him home.... cleaned him up... and let him go about his business.
The point to this thread is this.... Frankie hasn't peed yesterday or none today. He is still drinking water and he is still eating like he always has. He is also doing this stretching thing when we walks.... which is normal for him.,., but he seems to be doing it more often. I have an appointment for the vet tomorrow.
I don't know if Frankie is acting different because he is tired of being moved around and is pissed with me.... or if he has a urinary tract infection or something more serious.
The web scared the crap out of me so I just wanted to see if anyone has had a similar experience with their cat. I am still waiting for Frankie to pee. He has pooped but no pee.
OH and one last thing.... he has been going under the bed into my box spring. A new behavior. He actually made a hole so he has a new hiding place.
I know this thread jumps around a lot and I apologize for that. I am just trying to calm down cause I believe something is wrong with Frankie. Thanks
