Kitten Health Question?
PreppySquirrel asked:
My kitten, who is about to be a year old in August started to display some odd behavior this morning. I was at my computer and she started racing around my room in a panic. The next thing I knew, there were six piles of runny,loose poo. The door to my bedroom was wide open and the door to the bathroom, where the litter box is was wide open as well. Then. As I was making my bed, I found a wet spot. Turns out she peed on my bed. She hasn’t ever had any other bathroom problems before. What could this be? Should I call the vet? Any advice is very much appreciated. Thank you.

TAKE IT TO THE VET

Yes, definitely call the vet. They may be able to help you over the phone, and let you know if you need to go in or not.

Call your vet. Your cat may have something common such as a urinary tract infection or may just have eaten something that’s making it sick. Cats and dogs will also have “running fits” right before they have a bowel movement. When my cats were peeing places other than their litter boxes, my vet suggested testing for a UTI and also that it may be behavioral. I had to put one of my cats on “kitty Prozac.” I was very against the idea at first but after talking with my vet about it we decided to try it. It’s been 6 weeks and no accidents for about 4 weeks. I hope your kitten gets better soon. If you don’t take it to the vet, call them and get their opinion.

If it was only peeing , I would say it ’s behavioral - my cat does it too from time to time. But strange behavior symptoms do not include …poo in your floor! So , yes , take it to your vet.
