    Cats Pooping On Carpet - Lots Of Details

    I have new information. I got a webcam that records movement, and I have discovered that only one cat is pooping outside the litter box. It's the one that is somewhat sick and on HT medication. When he poops, he scrunches up like they do, but he walks a fair distance in that position and...

    Cats Pooping On Carpet - Lots Of Details

    They both seem to always pee in the litter boxes, so I'm VERY thankful for that. The fact that they pee in the litter box kind of rules out them being uncomfortable or having arthritis I think. Especially since I found poop in a store bought cardboard box of litter that I had cut the top off...

    Cats Pooping On Carpet - Lots Of Details

    I should also have addressed your other questions. There are no other cats outside that they see. Or at least none that I have ever seen. And yes, they have been together since birth 16 years ago, so they are used to each other and get along most of the time. They do fight every so often...

    Cats Pooping On Carpet - Lots Of Details

    Well, I bought 40# of the attractant litter and used it full strength in one of the 2 litter boxes. It hasn't helped. In fact, they are now pooping upstairs daily after only pooping downstairs for the last half year. Both cats have been to the vet and had blood work done within the last few...

    Cats Pooping On Carpet - Lots Of Details

    I know this topic has been brought up multiple times and I've read on the threads. I'm including a lot of information below that hopefully will narrow solutions down. I have two cats that are both male, brothers, and about 16 years old. One has hyperthyroid and the other is healthy. Over...

    My cat needs to have medication and it's impossible to give him a pill

    I have great news!  I got some chewable medicated treats from my be through Wedgewood Pharmacy.  I wanted to get the tuna ones, but they only had chicken at the time.  My cat gobbles them up like candy :) I had been giving a 2.5mg pill twice a day.  I found that the cost difference between the...

    My cat needs to have medication and it's impossible to give him a pill

    I have watched and attempted every pilling method on youtube, but I have not one time been able to get a pill down.  All I got was peed on and my cat hating me the rest of the day.  And like I said, I did have to pill my neighbor's cat when they were gone for a few weeks and I did that alone. ...

    My cat needs to have medication and it's impossible to give him a pill

    I live alone, so I don't have someone else to help.  I can't as much as get his mouth open even when I'm somewhat forceful.  I am certain I can't pill him in this manner.  He is a very wild and temperamental cat.

    My cat needs to have medication and it's impossible to give him a pill

    Yes, the pill pockets were what I mentioned in my initial post.  He's very good at finding the pills in them, even if I cut them in half and hide a half in each pocket.  Then he spits them out or avoids the pill pocket altogether. I've done some research and some place have both hard and soft...

    My cat needs to have medication and it's impossible to give him a pill

    Yes, as I mentioned in my post I have done the transdermal gel as well in his ear.  It does work, but he knows when he sees me coming and he hides.  Then it becomes chasing him around and pulling out the couch, etc.  Then even after that, you need to clean their ears after so many applications...

    My cat needs to have medication and it's impossible to give him a pill

    I have two cats who are brothers and around 15 years old.  They've lived with just me for their whole life and they do not appreciate visitors.  Recently, one of the two got very skinny and was throwing up and not eating.  I found out he has hyperthyroid.  So now I need to give him a pill twice...
