Thankfully she seems to be ok with the new food. :clap
But unfortunately we don't have any other rooms for her. Her room will likely be used as an office since my son works from home, so she'll still have it all to herself at night. Hopefully that won't be too bad.
This morning I found she had...
Thought I should follow up a bit here in case anyone is curious.
I moved the litter box to a different part of the room. Unfortunately it didn't seem to make a difference. I also took her to the vet. Bloodwork came back normal but the vet suspects some IBD or similar. He wants her on a...
Another interesting possibility. Thank you for your insight. We had to get the high-sides because she lifts her back end when she pees.
I wonder if the sides could be an issue. I should mention for context that this room is really hers alone. (We're empty nesters.) There's a pet gate at the...
Thank you for the thorough response.
We've always used for her the Tidy Cats XL Breeze litter box. About 8 months ago, we replaced it with a new one because, as you say, the plastic got so smelly. It's an open box. I'll attach photo below.
Her stools are typically rather loose, sometimes quite...
Yeah, I've read that too about the food location, but it's been there for the 5 years we've had her. It's not been an issue. She "brings" me to her food dish each morning for her wet breakfast and then later when she's ready for her dry food.
The room is a spare room and we only go in there to...
Thank you. I thought I cleaned it up well and even sprayed Nature's Miracle on it, but I'll try some vinegar too to see if that might make a difference. Her behavior is bewildering for sure.
Hmm.. I hope not. I thought 10 was a little young for that, but I suppose her age is really questionable since the rescue didn't have a birthdate ... just said she was 5 when we got her. She seems pretty playful still and agile, able to hop up high, etc. :idunno
Thank you for replying. She is agile and hops into her cat tree with ease, so I don't think she has any difficulty getting into her litterbox.
Here's a pic of "her" room, showing couch and litterbox. Of course she has free rein in the rest of the house as well but sleeps in her room.
Hey all! I have a non-chicken question for you. I tried on a cat forum but they weren't much help. I figured some of you, like me, have other pets too. So maybe one of you might have some insight.
We have a lone 10 year old female calico cat. We've had her for 5 years (rescue). She's always...
Hello there everyone. I jumped on here to ask you cat-trainers about a cat behavioral issue I'm dealing with. Hoping one of you may have some insight since my experience with cats is limited.
We have a lone 10 year old female calico cat. We've had her for 5 years (rescue). She's always been...
I really wish I had. My husband discovered it when making breakfast. We were so focused on deciding whether it was edible (we decided to dump it down the sink) that I didn't think to look more closely. I'm glad I snapped a quick photo, but I do really regret that I didn't take the time to check...
