Golden your an early riser, I'm actually trying to make myself go to bed later, Ifor ten years I worked in a hotel, did breakfast, got up at 4 am. I really got 4am drilled into my internal clock.

That's a good idea , raising the litter boxes. The angle I scoop the litter is not a position my back likes me to do. Lol I never thought of raising them. Can't do that to are older over weight girl but might have to someday.

nacy I haven't raised the box, it just has higher sides, but it is in a location I can get at to clean up with less bending.

Not really an early riser but one with weird sleep habits. I generally wake up in the small hours, take my thyroid meds then wait an hour (while on my laptop) to have coffee and a little early breakfast. Some nights I get spurts of housekeeping energy that I can indulge in when R is away. When he is here I don't want to disturb him. Then I go back to bed and catch a little more sleep.

Oh golden, I get it now, but raising them is also I good idea.

Yeah I love, the peacefulness of the early morning when the rest of the world is asleep, except I need the sleep, so I'm trying to break the habit.

Speaking of cats named socks, I have a Siamese cat, with a Hitler mustache.

Her name is chi, not Hitler. She hides a lot, I'm her one and only favorite owner. When company does see her they giggle. Maybe she hides cuz she is embarrassed. 🤷

Regarding litter boxes. Instead of using an actual litter box, we have been buying those Sterilite clear plastic storage boxes to use as a litter box. The sides are a bit higher and the box is a bit larger. So many sizes to choose from. Less chance of litter being kicked out.

Oh, do not use the Hefty brand of clear plastic storage boxes as a litter box, as for some reason the urination odor gets into the plastic and smells terrible. No such problem with the Sterilite storage boxes.

Thx everyone for your kind thoughts about my sweet kitty.

He was unique. Just like his brother who passed 3 yrs. ago. I always used to say "He's an all around great little guy" Sure was.

🥰 The word “homeowner” has the word “meow” in it. Good luck pronouncing correctly ever again.

Bad cat behaviour here. Couple of nights ago, between post nasal drip and Rocky pouncing in me several times, I didn't get much sleep - and I need it!!!

So I have banished her from the bedroom. She has a second litter box in the storage room and a second water bowl so she should be ok and I will definitely be more OK!

Golden, I haven't adjusted my sleep to the new time change as I can't figure out how to change the clock in the cat, sigh. He's still in the old time zone =^..^=

Anxietynacy, wonder if your feline is constipated? Does the cat eat only dry food or does he/she also eat wet food? I read somewhere that canned unsweetened pumpkin may help.


Pet store also have a gel that I use to give my cats when they had such a problem. One cat I had to dab it onto her paw as she wouldn't lick it off my finger. The dab worked as she had to lick it off the top of her paw, occasionally she would fling it onto the wall.


My hubby's son's cat had this happen. He was constipated and the Vet also found he was starting to have age related kidney issues. Special diet food has been helpful, and he's back to his old self.

FF , thanks so much, she does eat a table spoon or so a day of wet. But I never thought about constipation.

I have heard about pumpkin, but forgot.

She got up for a few minutes, licked a little tuna fish water, but not enough. She is only 4.

Might have to take her to the vet tomorrow.

Anxietynacy,
Does your cat have hairballs?

Cats shed heavily during the fall and spring. As a result, you might notice an increase of hairballs during these seasons. Long-haired cat breeds may also be more susceptible to seasonal hairballs.
Occasional hairballs once a month are okay, provided your cat doesn’t have other worrisome symptoms like inappetence, lethargy, or withdrawal. However, hairballs once a week or once every 2 weeks can be a sign of food allergies, atopy (environmental allergies) or IBD (irritable bowel disease). 
Generally, vomiting should not ever be accepted as a normal behavior. Because it is a symptom of so many potential illnesses, however, you might want to have your cat examined to rule out serious medical conditions if it seems to be happening more than normal.

Thanks sends, No hairballs, and this was very unusual, she got better really quick, but was awful sick, I felt so bad, for her

I will definitely have the vet check her out of it happens again. You are absolutely right.
