Cat Forum / General Topics / May 2004feline senilty / waste matter
Can some one please also advise me on what must I do in order to prevent my geriatric cat from displacing her waste matter near my doorway. I have attempted to direct her to the compost box in which she stubbornly refuses to use. It has been a problem for 3 months now. She will absolutely not use any other area besides the flower bed next to my door. I assume cats can become senile such as humans as well. Is there a treatment or vitamin I can give her for memory lapses? have you taken the cat to the vet to make sure she is in good physical health?? improper elimination is usually the first sign of health issues. Yes, it is possible for cats to become senile.. and like humans, there isn't a treatment or vitamin for it. Restrict the cat to one or two rooms so the cat doesn't get lost and have to make due. > Can some one please also advise me on what must I do in order to prevent my > geriatric cat from displacing her waste matter near my doorway.

She probably is also afraid to venture far from the door. Why not give her a protected box near the door that you can change ( the box not the door). It might not look great, but sometimes we have to make allowances for the elderly cat. Otherwise can you move her inside?

I have a 20 year old tom who acted much the same way, I started sneaking my grandmothers alzheimers medication to the cat, and he straightened right up. My grandmother could never remember to take those pills anyway. James I spoke to the vet and she told me that it is just a sign of aging most likely and at almost 19 she is in rather good health and set in her ways. Any deviation from her set ways tends to upset her. I tired putting her in the car today and she begin salivating and went in to a state of shock w/ a rapid heart beat. Its a bit risky. It is how ever a 2 day wait to get a veterinarian to do a house call. Its quite preposterous. As a senor British man I tend to lean towards express service if one can relate. cheers > > Can some one please also advise me on what must I do in order to prevent my > > geriatric cat from displacing her waste matter near my doorway.

Put her familiar clothing and other objects in the container with her and carry her gently to the vehicle. Sing Hail Britannia all the way or perhaps an old Benny Hill ditty. --Geno
