Cat Forum / General Topics / February 2004New..
Hello, I have a Maine coon, his name is Figaro aka tiggy, aka tiggidy. My Figaro was found on the side of the road 9 years ago, in a pitiful condition, someone had cut his whiskers, anyway, he has been scared since I have him of certain sounds, the thunder, the rain, new people, a sudden noise. For the past month he has been messing the carpet number 2, and had never do that in the past. Can someone tell me what can be wrong, he's an indoor cat... thank you.

Either you will find a physical cause, or you will rule out a physical cause. If there is none, look at all possible changes in his environment, whether brief or continuing. I or any of a number of people here will be glad to look at that with you, and come up with ideas for a remedy. But first, that trip to the vet.  SignatureDiana http://bellsouthpwp.net/d/r/drdrive/ Thank you Diana, I will make a appointment for him tomorrow, and let you know, thank you for replying so quickly. Kiki. what has changed? have you added new people or pets into the house? have you changed his litter? the location of his boxes? was he old when you found him, could he possibly be going senile? any other pets in the house? If so, try adding a few more litter boxes. also if he's old, and there is more than one level in the house (two story, or the litterbox is in the basement) try adding litter boxes on each floor. Ask your vet if you can bring a stool sample in for testing.. also make sure he hasn't lost any weight. make sure there is nothing medically wrong with him.. cats don't have a voice to say "HEY.. something is WRONG HERE!" the only thing they can do is eliminate inappropriately and hope you get the picture. > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Kiki Nothing has changed, I have another cat Butter, but for the past 5 years and they getting along just fine, he was a kitten when I found him, and he's about 9 years old now. They both have their boxes changed daily, or more. I am looking at them now, sleeping like babies, and by the way when he messed the floor, I know right away because his manners changed, he hides like is ashamed. Trip to the vet tomorrow... Thank you so much, Kiki I've heard that a lot.. I have more than one cat and one box has worked just fine till now, so it can't be the box. but adding a second box is a quick and cheep way to see if that might be the problem. > Nothing has changed, I have another cat Butter, but for the past 5 years > and they getting along just fine, he was a kitten when I found him, and he's [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Kiki > Nothing has changed, I have another cat Butter, but for the past 5 years >and they getting along just fine, he was a kitten when I found him, and he's [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > >Kiki What have you been feeding him? Any change of brands? Do you give him milk? Any plants there that he may have sampled? Purrs that the Vet will find the right answer. If he is a Maine Coon, he has a lot of long hair around his butt. Sometimes a piece of poop sticks to the hair and drops off later (a "klingon"). This has happened with my Tiger at times. When you go to the vet, have him trim the hair in that area. -MIKE Mike, I know, one Day Figaro was going crazy and I was certain he had a grand mal seizure, he kept running all over the house non stop, I rushed to the vet who in 2 minutes, found out the reason, a ding dong in his fur, cost me $30.00, and a good laugh.

This happens alot with cats, short haired ones too. -------------------------------------------- "Finally a member of the Jackson family finds another young boy to victimize." -------------------------Jimmy Fallon on SNL referring to Justin Timberlake To send me e-mail exorcise NO Spam from my e-mail address. No, no change of brand, Science diet since I had him, no milk ever, and he doesn't care for plants, now, I recently took a trip to Italy for 11 Days, but the same service I used when I have to go, came, they are good and I didn't have any problems before. Kiki well he could be telling you he wasn't pleased at your going.. especially if it started soon after you got home. > No, no change of brand, Science diet since I had him, no milk ever, and he > doesn't care for plants, now, I recently took a trip to Italy for 11 Days, > but the same service I used when I have to go, came, they are good and I > didn't have any problems before. > > Kiki >No, no change of brand, Science diet since I had him, no milk ever, and he >doesn't care for plants, now, I recently took a trip to Italy for 11 Days, >but the same service I used when I have to go, came, they are good and I >didn't have any problems before. > >Kiki Makes me wonder is he is developing some arthritis in his back which makes it a little painful to squat. Best of luck -- I hope Vet finds out quickly. MLB |
