Thank you for the kind replies. di and bob, you made me burst into tears! Everything you said is so true and I think in time, I will be able to follow your advice. I've been going through the grief alone, as my family and friends have all distanced themselves from me. Hard times like these is...

Just a few, short months ago I was told my 15 year old man, Parker, had failing kidneys. My vet didn't have much say aside from "make sure he gets a lot of water" and "you'll know it's time when he stops eating". She didn't tell me the whole truth. He was skinny but still full of life. He slept...

I am in Canada but I did get it from my vet. Vet gave me the 45mg tubes for both cats. He is well within the weight range for it. He has been 1lb underweight for over a year anyway and then lost another .5 before he leveled off. My vet isn't in until Monday, but if I have to wait, I will.

My guy has been doing quite well since our last escapade with a possible injury but never figured out for sure. I was going to call my vet today to ask this question but was a little too busy. Fleas are a problem in my apartment building so I like to keep up with treatments. However, my guy is...

Just wanted to add one more update and something suspicious I've discovered. My boy has been home for a week now and is doing great. He hasn't gained any weight but he isn't losing anymore and his appetite is great. He's active, alert and really snuggly. However, my other cat is now very ill...

Alright. Vet called me last night, finally! She said that his blood work came back fine. The only thing she noticed was his right kidney isn't functioning at 100%, but she said it's not bad and pretty normal for his age. He also has a little arthritis, again normal at his age. Otherwise, she...

So my handsome man is still at the vet. Stopped in to see him yesterday but he was a bit grumpy. The vet was in the middle of an operation so she didn't have time to update then. Finally got a hold of her this evening but all she said was "I did an advanced blood test and sent it off. The...

My vet is normally wonderful. She's the reason why he made it to 14. This time was different and I am thinking maybe she was just over-worked this last week. She is the cheapest vet around and get absolutely swamped at times. Still, I agree it's not right and it has been very frustrating...

I was wondering about that. She just said that at his age, it's normal for his kidneys to not be functioning at 100%. She never did call back, so hopefully she is looking into those things. I will certainly keep that in mind and ask about it when I hear from her. Thank you very much.

Just to clarify: he was not laying in the litter box, but rather had urinated on himself in a cardboard box he had been sleeping in but didn't get up. So far, my vet hasn't called with any updates. I am hoping that with him being there, maybe they will see some signs and do further testing...

It's been a rough week with my 14 year old cat. I'll try to give a clear picture. Friday, March 16, he went to sleep on my bed next me as usual and was acting completely normal. The next morning, he came out for breakfast but soon retreated under my bed. Not really unusual for him. After his...

I have tried a diffuser with no success. It calmed him down from his nightly howling and tearing around but no luck with the urination.  Last night I found a binder clip and used it to hold the bathroom towel on the rack, which seems to have worked perfectly. Curious though, if I am able to keep...

I live on the 3rd floor of an apartment but there has been a female cat that comes around howling every other day or so.  Could that really upset him enough to make him pee? I don't even know who owns the other cat, so not much I can do about her.

I took him to the vet after he started doing it. But the vet couldn't find a thing wrong with him.  And no, I don't use bleach on them at all. I just wish I could figure out WHY he does it. He went his whole life using the box just fine. This just started out of the blue. 

Hi and thanks for reading I have a male cat, he is estimated to be about 11-12 years old. Recently, I took him to the vet and he had a complete senior wellness check done, urine testing and all. Everything came back great but my problem is him peeing on towels. I've been doing my best to make...
