Puzzle time in my household this morning...
Treacle Pud came to me as a litterbox trained cat and I made sure to have her usual litter on hand. And we have litterbox issues. At first I put it down to new environment, moving home etc, but it continues. She was peeing and pooping with very poor aim. So, first I moved the box into the shower where I could clean up more easily, then I bought a new fancy litterbox designed with a high back, still problems. So I started being extra careful about cleaning and now she is trying to avoid the box altogether, though fortunately staying in the shower area.
Before I take her down to the vet, anyone got any bright ideas for me? I am wondering if she has arthritis, and yet when I was using a low sided box she was still missing the point, so to speak.
And she is happy, purrful, and not showing pain signs, so, I am at a loss...
