Thank you - we're trying to keep him there as long as we can so long as the quality of life remains high - my reason for posting is moreso because i think its starting to be a detriment - he's peeing more than i can keep up with and despite 2 hepa filters, the screen door and an open window -...

Thank you so much - yes food was our first fix, which has been easier to give and monitor with him in the room. We do high protein low carb. Initially we debated switching to meats as suggested by his vet but he didnt like it so its a combo of wet/dry now all special for insulin resistance

When free roaming in the house he did target specific spots which we covered - but its too much with the baby (just turned 1) now mobile to have cat pee everywhere. In his room he's gotten worse peeing both in and out of the litter box and on a chair - we've tried puppy pads both disposable and...

yes they did - they said the only vet they knew of to do the surgery was in NY (we are in MD) and the only case they had success with the patient died shortly after due to infection/complications. Do you have more information on cat pituitary surgery?

My cat Finn is about 10 years old - he is a snuggly ball of sunshine. Over the last year Finn started to pee on everything - couches, outside the litterbox, beds, doorframes - etc. We did some heavy cleaning bought more boxes and had him evaluated and he came back as diabetic - (making all of...

To be honest his symptoms do seem similar to the cat asthma video that you have posted. Unfortunately, I am not sure what might have caused any sort of asthmatic reaction, since he has been living in the same house, eating the same food, and using the same litter for 6+ months with no ill...

I have unfortunately done the same thing and accidentally stepped on my cat's paws occasionally (they like to hang out in the kitchen when I'm cooking, but I don't like taking my eyes off of the stove so accidents can happen). It is a good idea to monitor your cat's behavior for the next few...

Hey all, I just wanted to see if anybody else has experienced this issue, and what they have done to resolve it. I own 3 cats, 2 of them are 2 years old, and the third one is just under 1 year old. My older cats have occasional hairballs which is pretty normal, and although they are brushed...

Yes - he's my little sweet selectively snuggly tux! I LOVE my cat from hell (although its a tear jerker). That show really proves that kitties aren't spiteful, just scared. I'll try some more things (mothballs/maybe an additional feliway plug in/rewashing everything) and will see if that helps...

Thhand1022 - Thanks, I'll give the lidless litterboxes a try. My youngest kitty tends to kick litter everywhere, but I'd rather see the couch pee free. The weird thing about the window is that it is a totally catified area. There's a huge (three-tier, multiple spot/hide box) cat tree next to it...

Denice - Yes we are using Natures Miracle and letting it soak into the cushions as well as laundering the fabric part of the cushions.  thhand1022 - We have 4 hooded litterboxes, not that they dont like them - it just hasnt been an issue for them. They've had them both ways (open/nonopen). Now...

Hello! I've posted on here about one of my (now) three kitties, who had a peeing problem as a kitten. Finn, my male neutered almost 2 year old tuxedo has recently picked up the habit of peeing on my couch somewhat daily now. The weird thing is, I cant seem to find a cause for it.  Here's what I...

Hello! My fiance and I currently live with two wonderful little boy kitties (littermates) that are about a year and a half old. The two are VERY social and VERY people oriented. (They love snuggles, greet us at the door, sleep with us and eachother etc).  We recently became aware of a cat in...
