I am so worryed about my kitty Rose-mary she knows to use the litter box but she is not. She is going behind the washer and in the corner of the living room, so I showed her the litter box and she went but she had dieriea. I felt her tummy but it felt fine I don’t know if she has a infection or what. 🙁

If anyone has information for me, just a little it might help her. <3

Thanx

P.S she means alot to me! 🙂

How old is she? What are you feeding her? Has she been seen by a vet?

Is she urinating outside the box or pooping?? Either way probably time to make an appointment with the vet. Usually when a kitty stops using it’s litterbox abruptly like that they are trying to tell you that something is wrong. Many times a simple urinary tract infection is to blame.

Good luck….

Please take your kitty to the vet. She could have a urinary tract infection or a serious condition that’s causing her diarrhea.

Agree with the above, sounds like an infection going on. Since kitties can’t talk this is their way of letting you know that they feel bad.

Good idea to take your kitty to a vet to be checked out…they usually act up when they are sick or bothered by something….good luck to you KL!

We took her to the vet and they gave us an antibiotic for her.

She is much better now and is acting like herself again!

Happy as ever!!!

I’m glad the vet was able to track down the problem and fix it. When a cat who has always been good about using the litter box, stops using it, it almost always can be traced to a physical problem.

Keep us updated on her condition; we all worry about everyone else’s babies.
