    Kidney cat urinating while sleeping only

    Let me preface this by saying we just got back from the vet and had a complete blood and urine panel taken, as well as an x-ray. In the past few months Reggie has continued leaking urine while he's sleeping only. He does not "go" anywhere else or leak any while awake, it's just when he's...

    I have a 15 year old who for about the past year has been urinating outside of his litter box. In the basement, there was a bunch of boxes and low carpet near his box that I kept finding pools of urine. He still uses his box too, but every few days or once a week he would go near it. This...

    "Dead" tail and limping - oh no

    So my 11 year old tabby began limping last week. It appeared to be his rear left leg but I'm not completely sure as it's hard to tell. He was acting really quiet, staying under my bed and definitely not being normal. The next day he seemed better but the day after that was a repeat - staying...
