    Cat urinating outside of box

    Hi all.. our Jax cat saga continues. In May DH and I went away for a 10 day trip. The cat sitter came by twice daily to feed/play/scoop boxes. Upon our return, Jax started urinating around the house. We've taken him to the vet twice - they said his bladder looked a little inflamed. We've done...

    Cat runs and then poops

    So another update. I'm starting to wonder if he doesn't like going around us. Sunday night he was on my bed cuddling with me. Suddenly sat up, did the dash.. then jumped back on the bed and pooped on me. (Hah). Last night.. same thing. Cuddling, then up zooming around. His stools are...

    Cat runs and then poops

    Hi Molly, Thanks again for the added insight. We had box problems with him for about the first 4 months after bringing him home. It got better in December, and then in January we went 2 months straight with him consistently using the box. Then one Saturday morning the running and pooping thing...

    Cat runs and then poops

    Hi Molly, thanks so much for your thoughful reply, we really appreciate it. he definitely has an appetite - i'm greeting by a series of meowing from both cats at feeding time. the other problem we think that might play into this is he is declawed, and we are his third owners. he was...

    Cat runs and then poops

    Hi all, So our recent addition who I've written about before is having a new set of issues. We had gone 2 months without any litter box problems, but now we have a new one. Jax will all of a sudden start running like mad, drop a poop, run more, drop another, and so on until he is done. I...

    New adopted kitty not using box

    So we had a difficult morning. He was super cuddly and affectionate last night - slept curled up with us in bed. But this morning we discovered he pooped downstairs and also squatted and urinated on our new sofa. Not quite sure what to do. I'll place another box out for him to use.

    New adopted kitty not using box

    some updates - took him to the vet. everything came back clear (except for maybe needing to lose a pound or two). since then.. he has pooped in his box, but peed on my sofa. lol. i feel like we're making progress.  i actually found out that he was part of a bonded pair so i'm attempting to find...

    New adopted kitty not using box

    Thanks Columbine. Do you think he may he may be having problems because he is declawed? I'm willing to try newspaper in a box for him too. The shelter had no record of him having box problems.

    New adopted kitty not using box

    Thank you again! The last box I purchased is a larger size - hopefully he will like that better. I also have a vet appointment set for him on Wednesday evening after work.  I do feel bad - he definitely wanted out of his enclosure last night and was not happy to see me this morning..until he...
