Howdy everyone! I know I'm popping in and out in weird spurts, but I have my hands a bit full. I am fostering a stray momma and her kittens, who are now about 6-7 wks old. One of the kittens, just like the momma, does not have a tail. HOWEVER, my problem is that this kitten, we call him 'Bunny' does not know when he needs to use the bathroom, so he pees on the floor and does his poop whenever, and everywhere BUT the litter box. It's not that he's not litter box trained, he just doesn't realize that he needs to go. I took him to the vet and they had him checked for worms, etc, they have him on antibiotics but the vet said that this is common problem with cats born without tails. I can't fathom a long life with this cat doing his peeing and pooping everywhere? So are there any others out there who own cats w/o tails that have similar problems, if so what solutions, etc. The momma is litter box trained, but her baby does not have any feelings of knowing when he is going, he goes in his sleep, in his play and isn't aware at all that he has 'crap' hanging out of him LOL! Anyway...long winded plight...
Take care everyone!
