Cat urinating on rugs
I actually have three cats. But I am pretty sure it is my orange tabby that is having the problem. Her name is XXXX. We recently purchased a very expensive area rug. And maybe it is a coincidence, but ever since she has been defecating on it. She actually did it in front of us once, but usually we find them after the fact. Sometimes the stools appear normal and sometimes they are loose and very light colored. She does not seem sick and is eating and drinking normally. I have also seen her using the litter box...we don't know what to do...should we have her checked for intestinal problems? We have a rug shampooer and we are using an enzmatic cleaner but is there anything else we can do? Should we get a new litter box? All of our cats are usually so good about using the box...we have had all three of them for about the same amount of time. We are very worried about her...and about our new rug a little bit too. She had a similar problem last fall and the vet came to the house and said that there wasn't much we could do if she had some inflammtion in her rectum or intestinal tract..we just had to wait it out...is this really the ONLY thing we can do? |
