4991.0. "Bad Kitty? Sick Kitty?" by PIPPER::JRYAN (JANNA RYAN) Tue Oct 08 1991 11:08

    	Here's the problem....I have 2 cats...one lives with me(Nilla)
     the other lives with my parents(kitt)...recently when we were having 
    water problems at home we brought Nilla to stay with my parents while
    the workers were there.  Well she had been there for about 4weeks..
    when I got a call from dear old Dad saying to take her back because
    one cat was leaving a "deposit" on the dinning room rug :(
    	
    Well of course dad assumed it was Nilla....so I gladly went and
    took my baby home with me.  Well dad called last night and apologized
    that he caught the Kitt in the act.....I know that sometimes cats will
    do there "thing" in odd places when they are sick (kitt is 8yrs old) so
    I asked dad if  he saw worms or anything odd and he said he didn't
    study it he cleaned it!!!!  I don't know if kitt is doing this because
    she was sick of Nilla being there and wanted her to leave or if she is
    sick... because I don't live there its hard for me to tell if she's
    acting funny/weird/sick.
    
    I talked to my mom and I want to make an appointment for
    Kitt....she said dads really mad and wants her out (mom won't let her
    go though!!)
    
    	Should Kitt go to the Vet or should we see if it stops now that
    Nilla is gone ( Nilla has been back with me for about a week though)
    and last night was the first "accident" since Nil's been gone.
    
    		ANy ideas on what it could be????

    Its possible Kitt refuses to share a litterbox - or feels that there
    should be a second box added.  Thoroughly clean her box and disinfect
    it with bleach and water.  Try to remove all of Nilla's smell from
    the box and see if that does the trick.  Kitt may have become suddenly
    very fastideous about the cleanliness of her box.  
    
    If that doesn't work, call the vet.  Every cat deserves a check for
    physical problems first.
