What ways to cats ask for help?
However, peeing outside of the litter box is one of the ways cats ask for help. It’s not something you should ignore or try to fix without talking to a vet first. Urinary tract infections, bladder stones, kidney stones, and constipation can make it painful for your cat to use the litter box.
How do you know when your cat needs to go to the bathroom?
Sniffing the ground, meowing and dashing behind the sofa can be signs that your kitten needs to go to the toilet. Keep an eye out and gently divert your kitten to, or place him in, the litter tray and give him some privacy. Try not to stare too obviously, as he will find it easier if he feels he’s not being watched.
When should I worry about my cat?
Cats that are ill will usually show changes in overall appearance, energy level, sociability, coat appearance and/or amount of shedding, appetite, litterbox usage, breathing, or discharges from the eyes or nose. In general, any sudden change should alert you that your cat needs veterinary attention.
Can you tell if a cat is in pain?
Cats who are painful may withdraw from their usual family interactions, may become less engaged in their surroundings, and may start hiding. You may notice decreased eating and/or drinking. You may also notice changes in sleeping patterns.
