I've recently had a new problem with my 18 year old cat tracking litter EVERYWHERE. it's insanity. I've used Worlds Best Cat Litter for years and never had a problem until recently. I've tried a bunch: Pine - he won't use Swheat Scoop - worst tracking ever Walnut based - tracks viciously...

Also, I realized I forgot to mention in my original post.. we do know he has a mass on his liver but he has not had any symptoms with that (other than what has been going on recently). Doc does not know if it is related and did not suggest further diagnostics with that.  We don't know if it is...

Hello all, I'm new here but have gotten such great information from this site.. I figured I'd reach out for some thoughts on my old man.  My cat Gabriel is almost 18, he's been healthy his whole life (thankfully!).  But, he is not doing well these last few days.  He has seen his vet and we get...
