The Cat Thread

If there’s blood in his poo then get him to a vet. Fresh blood (bright red) could be a simple haemorrhoid, darker is more worrying as it means it’s occurring in the gut rather than at the anus.

Our cat has, over the last couple of months, started urinating in the house. No crapping just wee and mainly in the kitchen and once or twice the hallway. . Vet says no medical issues so behavioural matter. Tried placing dry food down in regular locations with limited success. She doesn’t have a litter tray so will get one tonight.
Any other tips?

We had a cat who developed this habit later in life. She would pee on the doormat by the front door, and occasionally poo there too.

We tried a load of things but never totally cured it. The only two things which made a bit of a difference were making sure her litter tray was clean at all times, and getting rid of the doormat.

Happily our current two have not acquired this habit and are also a bit less fussy about their litter tray.

Do the cats get on? Sometimes when they are separated for a bit and then reunited, one can decide that it doesn't want to share any more. So it starts spraying to assert dominance. This can be fixed by having more than one tray per cat, extra cat flaps, scratching posts, separate zones...etc

Maybe she's scared to go out because there's another cat bullying her, or spraying where she likes to pee?

If you stick with a tray, World's Best Cat Litter is remarkably good at absorbing smells. Far superior to the ones in the supermarkets. You have to get it ecommercially. For some reason my cat would rather eat it than crap in it, but maybe that's just her. (It does smell really nice.)

(It does smell really nice.)

Except for the lavender one. That overpowers a house with it's own smell.

Another vote for World's Best though... go for the red bag.

Ralph & Saffron are nearly back to being best buds, three weeks after a big fight that had them them at each others' throats and Saffron weeing herself during each fight. Still don't trust them enough to leave them unattended overnight as there's been a few hisses here and there when playfighting gets a bit out of control during their evening zoomies, but they definitely seem to have decided that cuddling and playfighting is preferable to being separated.

The droppings suggest otherwise.

I had a word with the cat, he appeared to pay attention but then just wandered off. I wish that he was more respectful.

If we've been out for a hour or two Cannoli runs over to the rug in the dining room when we come back, rolls over and shows his belly and allows lots of belly rubs! Such unusual behaviour for a cat. Anyone else's do this?
