The only other thing I ca think of is that he is so scared of the dogs that when he has to go he won’t come down stairs…..
Does he have a litter box upstairs so that he doesn’t have to go down where the dogs are when he needs to ‘go’?
chrisherself wrote:That’s good to know then. I love Harley so much, I’d hate to see him sick. He got sick when he was a kitten and I really thought I would lose him. I want to check right away then. I have wax paper. Do you take all the litter out and put JUST waxed paper in the bottom, or put it on top of the litter, or put the litter on top of the paper and let the urine seep down? Does it soak in? I’m a little confused there.
Oh–and is there an environmental trigger for UTIs in kitties, or is it just a biological tendency? Can they have cranberry juice? 😆 Kidding!
Now that I think about it, the reasoning for the wax paper was that Sneezer REFUSED to give a sample at the vet, and had to stay overnight. I kid you not, the boy held it for 14 hours before they were about to use a catheter(sp) when he FINALLY went for them-lol So to avoid him being a booger, we started taking a sample at home and bringing it in right away (crystals start to form if the sample just sits out). I put the wax paper on top of the litter, he we going so often that he hopped in immediately and ‘went’ a few drops for me anyway. Just carefully pick up the paper and pour what you can into a little cup 😛
(also, if you have more than one cat, you have to make sure you get the right one to ‘go’ for you! lol)
Chrisherself-that is just what Sneezer was doing the week he was on his UTI meds, squatting all over trying to go, but only able to go a drop or two at a time. I was worried he was blocked up, but the vet explained that he was going so often (literally hundreds of times a day) that he wasn’t letting his bladder fill up enough for a ‘normal’ amount of urine. It was a rough week for us both but eventually with his meds his UTI cleared up. 5 weeks later he started showing the same signs so I took him in right away, that time it cleared up in 3 days. Since then (4 years or so?) he’s taken Cosequin every day and hasn’t had any more issues.
(also-I could not tell his urine was bloody from looking in the litter box-had to learn the wax paper trick for that)
Oh this is awful, I want him so badly-I absolutely love his coloring…but I have to put all my extra money towards credit cards. So sad knowing that I’ll probably never get a chance at this coloring 🙄
Did he start doing this all of a sudden? My cat Sneezer started going outside the pan one day and it turned out he had a UTI. He was so miserable that he was just trying to ‘go’ everywhere. I could see though (from when he tried to go in the shower) that his urine was bloody. I picked up a little tip at the vet, if you put waxed paper in the bottom of the litter pan, you can get a urine sample pretty easily to take in to your vet.
I get those phishing emails from paypal and ebay all the time. Always forward them to spoof @ paypal.com, etc. I love getting 2 or 3 every week from Bank of America saying my account needs updating, very thorough of them seeing as I don’t have an account with them 😛
As for Paypal and being verified, I got my account verified right away, I always thought you were suppossed to…
I never thought I’d go for an oriental but these colors are just so amazing I have to enter! I would love this color combo on all the sculpts!
