Strange Cat Behaviour

Hello All,

We have had cats for a number of years; in all that time I have never seen any cat do the following.

Our cat has taken to sleeping in her cat litter tray.

This started yesterday.

She is also unusually vocal; she has stopped sleeping in her bed.

Has anyone got any ideas?

Kindest Regards
Kaylan

It's best to take her to the vets I think she's trying to tell you some thing, one of my elderly cats did this and it turned out her liver was not to good, and another one used to do it when she had cystitis.

To be honest this is not a good sign. My cat died last week , she kept sleeping in Odd places . Cats do this when the end is coming .

When mine had cystitis she would pee in her bed and strange places, but not sleep in them .

How old is the cat?

How old is that cat?

Def give the vets a call and see what they say......

She is 9 years old.

RSPCA rescue cat so has allways been a little strange, but the last week she has been odd to say the least.

Only letting me comfort her, and sleeping in odd places, food seems Ok though, eating normally.

She is not normally a vocal cat, except on fridays which is tuna day.

But now I get it from when I come home untill I go out. Strange conversations. Make a lot of fuss as soon as I park outside of the house. My wife knows I am home, as soon as she starts.

Will not sleep in her bed at all.

Kaylan, definitely time to call the vet. As shardlake said, she's trying to tell you something's wrong.

Definately when cats become more vocal than usual it's a sure sign that something is bothering them and they're asking you to help them.

Many thanks to all.

A visit to the VET has been arranged for tonight.

I will let you all know when I know any more.

Again; many thanks to all for replying

Kindest Regards
Kaylan

I'd definitely be tempted to change tuna day to a different day. Just to see what happens.

Yes good luck

Kittycat73 · 27/08/08 - 18:56

I hope there is good news to come. Good luck Kaylan, and to your cat of course! I'm really worried about her now.

I hope everything is ok.

Sleeping in the litter tray is a bad sign I'm afraid. Take your cat to the vet asap.

Kaylan please don't keep us in suspense like this! How is your cat? I really hope she's OK.

shardlake · 28/08/08 - 00:26

Yes, I certainly hope so.

Kittycat73 · 28/08/08 - 00:51

Me too. I hope the poor mite is ok.

Kaylan · 28/08/08 - 09:18

Morning all,

I was unfortunately unable to get an appointment for yesterday. I have one for 1840hrs tonight.

So I will let you all know this evening after I come back.

Thank you all for your kind thoughts and comments.

Kindest Regards
Kaylan

PS She is still vocal, and currently sleeping/living in the bathroom

shardlake · 28/08/08 - 10:18

Really hope everything will be ok.
Good luck.

Normally if its that, they will do "little" widdles everywhere except the tray.
