    I have a water fountain (with a cleaning kit) (G) which seems to be the biggest hassle with all the fountains I looked at--along with Glyco Flex Plus arriving Sunday via Amazon.

    Female Birman 18 yrs old

    Thank you, Feebys Owner, for your response and all the ideas that you offered. I failed to mention that I have tried carrying her downstairs in the evening if she is not napping.

    Unusual behavior

    Thank you both for your response. I am going to take them to the vet. I do have 2 litter boxes and this is the first time there has ever been a problem. I empty both litter boxes religiously every day. I have not noticed any other behaviorial changes.
