I just recently started giving my cat canned cat food due to some health issues and to help increase her water intake. I mix the canned food with water and fill the dish with water everytime I see she has drank it empty. Being new to canned food, I'm wondering how many days it stays good in...

A quick update (knocking on wood while I write this, lol...). It has been a whole week and no more urination on anything! In fact, she has become even more friendly, wants to be with everyone and lay in the same room that everyone else is in. She's not really showing any fear towards the...

Yeah, the second litterbox is in the bathroom across the hall from "her" bedroom. She loves it in there because she loves water dripping from the bath faucet. She's never shy about going in there from what I can tell, in fact she'll push the door open to get in there if she needs to. Well...

Oh WOW! Thanks for those thought! Those are some great ideas! I have two issues with closing the door to the middle bedroom. #1) This is her space near us on the second floor where the dogs don't go. it is her space. #2) We've tried shutting the door before and she urinated on our clothes...

Well, the vet said that he wants another urine sample so he wanted us to put some sort of plastic over the bed where she is peeing. BTW, the only place she has been peeing since we started her pain killers and new diet is on the bed. I don't know if it's because she's made that I have to stick...

They did take a urine sample as well and found blood in it which was a strong indicator that something was wrong. Last year when they did it they also found blood but thought it was a testing fault so threw the results out. She appears to be urinating about 3 to 5 times throughout the day. I...

Well, up until yesterday I would have said yes, but yesterday she did not. In fact, she used the litter box by the bed many times throughout the day. I'm hoping that this just means it took a while for things to shape up with her. She does appear to be liking her canned food mixed with a good...

I realize it's still early yet, but she has literally urinated on the bed everyday since the vet. While I will say she has been using her litter box that's about 10 feet away from the bed with more frequency, she's still doing it. However, she also seems to be a bit more relaxed and is a lot...

It's an option but believe me I'm working hard to not consider either giving her away or putting her down! I simply don't want to do either. Her blood work came back normal with no signs of anything. Thank you for being willing to help me if this turns behavioral. Let's all pray that it...

I would like to clarify that Thai (the new dog relatively speaking) has been around now for almost 2 years and while Aspen takes her time to recover from moves and other such shocks, she usually does so in a few months. Her issue is not confined to just the bed or soft things, she also goes on...

Well, today is V-day - and oh how she's going to hate me! She urinates, throws up and has diarhea everytime she gets in the crate and then it's always bath time when we get home! And of course, they would not give me anything to help calm her down on the drive in. Everyone please pray that we...

Thanks everyone!

Thank you so much for your response! Your thoughts about Aspen being there first is exactly what I'm thinking - and I don't feel it's fair to her to take her away from her home of many years just because she may be unhappy with the new roommates. Our vet has told us that the number one reason...

First off, I am new here and I have never had an issue with my cat in the 15 years I have had her. She is approximately 18 or 19 years old. I got her when she was about 3 or 4 years old from a friend who had to give her away as she was leaving for the army. At the time I had a very timid and...
