Hi all,
Our cat Layla is struggling with issues regarding doing number 2. The problem isn't constant which is making me lean towards her being nervous. Here is the details..
We moved to another city recently and where we came from Layla was the only pet. We still only have Layla but where we moved to lives 2 dogs and another cat. The dogs are not an issue as they seem to be rather cat friendly. Layla is spayed but the other cat is not neutered. Sometimes her poo looks to be quite runny and other times normal, then also randomly after pooing she will wipe her bottom on the tiles or carpet. She has much more exposure to a garden compared to where we previously stayed, and has been nibbling on grass etc. a lot.
Now my questions..
Is it a health issue? Is it nervousness from the not neutered male following and chasing and yelping and fighting her every step of the way? Or is it just normal settling in and getting used to the grass etc?
If it's a health issue, obviously a trip to the vet is in order. If the other cat, is there pheromones one can purchase to keep the male away or to calm her a bit. I don't want to hurt the male cat but he gets violent with her and that boils my blood.
Thanks for any words of advice!
