Cat Behaviors That Could Be Signs of a Sick Cat
He's Not Using the Litter Box Properly
When your kitty stops using the cat litter box, the underlying reason can be behavioral or medical, according to Dr. Barrack. “Behavioral reasons are usually attributable to changes in the household causing stress—a move, a new roommate (furry or human), new cat litter or less time with the owner,” Dr. Barrack explains.“Medical issues can also cause your cat to stop using the box and may include arthritis, cancer, feline interstitial cystitis, kidney stones or urinary tract infections. Bring your cat to your veterinarian to determine if there is a medical cause of the inappropriate elimination,” says Dr. Barrack.
