Cat Forum / General Topics / December 2003specific cat problem
Hello, we have a house cat for 14 yrs. now (along with 2 other house cats) and all of a sudden about 2 months ago this one 14 yr. old cat starting having this strange new and terrible problem of pooping and peeing on the carpet (or where ever he happens to be ) instead of using the litter box like he has for 14yrs. We immediately took him to the Vet since our house enviroment was deteriorating rapidly what with the smell and all. We cleaned the carpet twice (since once did not get rid of the smell ). The Vet did find that he had a kidney infection and prescribed antibiotics. After about a week or so the antibiotics were completed and we took him back for a follow up and the Vet said the kidney infection was cured. However we "still" are having new poop piles and the situation is getting serious. We can't even have people over because our house is starting to smell like a litter box. Has anyone ever had a similar problem and is there anything we can do to fix this problem other than putting the cat to rest. First of all, you need to use an enzimatic cleaner to get rid of the smell. Just because you can't smell it doesn't mean the cat can't. Get some Feliway and spray it in the areas where the improper elimination occurs. This should help. Adding a second litter box might help too. Good luck.

I had a dearly loved cat that never had a problem with the cat box or any other kind of thing like that. When she was 17 years old she simply stopped caring about the niceties of the litter box. She also became pretty feeble in her ability to just get around the house. She was still a loving friend and member of the family. Cleaning up after her was never a problem, though visitors may have noticed. After several crises the vet diagnosed kidney failure, and stated that was common in cats that actually made it to old age. Not reversible. Find a good, compassionate vet, go with their best advice, and know you did right by your friend. Gees! My first time on this group and I'm already crying!

It's good to know you don't have anything better to do than police the web. I'll now willingly go into the really nice brick building to get a shower.

Not a good idea on your part. First of all I started this by asking "Flippy" to reply at the end of a post. Second Victor Martinez asked "Please trim the original posts before replying". Third you reply with "Thank you web Nazi. It's good to know you don't have anything better to do than police the web", you also write "Gees! My first time on this group". Well welcome to alt.pets.cats. I read most, if not all, messages and I find that Victor Martinez is the most knowledgeable person posting messages to this group. His writings shows respect for (most of) the people posting here. He knows his stuff, killfile if you must but remember this, you are loosing messages and replies from one of the best.

Dear clueless moron: I was ironically responding to jharmeson who flamed flippy for top-posting.

Note that Victor was even replying to your post, but to someone else's. JM Why do you want the replies posted at the end? I mean that means you have to go all through the original message every time and seems to me to be a time waster. just asking in case there is a good reason J.P. > > For info visit this page: http://www.flippyscatpage.com/health.html > and look [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > > > Please post your replies a the end and not at the beginning.

Because it makes the thread easier to follow if each succeeding reply follows on directly from the previous one.

Nan > Why do you want the replies posted at the end? How do you read a newspaper or magazine story, top to bottom. In news groups it is better to reply to a thread without anything from the last reply, and here's why. Some ISP's delete some messages after so many day's, this doesn't mean the thread is missing, it's just archived, google groups is a good place to find archived threads. When top posting with numerous replies within the thread a reader may need to go down your reply to read what you are replying to, then go back up for your reply. You could cut out most of the useless info for your reply, something like I've done here, try to keep the pertinent stuff. Try to reply with what you need, keeping everything from other replies takes up disk space, both on the ISP server and some news group readers (some readers down load everything to their hard drive and then read or keep the threads). I hope this makes some since to you, do some research on this, start with google http://www.google.ca/ or ask jeeves http://www.ask.com/ . I may be a little late with my replies as my comp has been down for a month but I had a cat 16 yrswho started wetting evrywhere that she shouldn't, It turned out she had tumours on her brain and they said she was too old to go through an op; so we had to have her put to sleep poor darling, and poor us as weloved her very much. regards J.P. > Hello, we have a house cat for 14 yrs. now (along with > 2 other house cats) and all of a sudden about 2 months [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > anything we can do to fix this problem other than putting the > cat to rest. |
