Need some urgent advice about my kitten Roxy!!

(5 posts)
  1. Hi Everyone,

    My beautiful kitten Roxy is 6 months old now. She is a silver Maine Coon and the baby in our house.

    Roxy has been litter trained since she was 5 weeks old. She has 2 litter trays, one down stairs, one up stairs (she likes to wee in one and poo in the other). I clean them twice a day and change the litter every 2-3 weeks.

    In the past week Roxy has started weeing on the kitchen floor!! for no apparent reason. Me and my husband have told her off and put her in her litter tray and basically done everything we can but she is still doing it!!
    I am watching her like a hawk now and when she disappears I sneak about to find out what she's up to!! I can tell when she needs to go as she starts to scratch the floor or front door at which point I gently pick her up and put her on her litter tray but she wont go! Yesterday she actually pretended to go, she dug a little hole and squatted down but didnt do anything, then 5 minutes later there's a big puddle on the floor!!

    Please can you advise me why she might be doing this, all of a sudden! She is very spoilt and treated like a princess, gets the best food, more toys than a child, best beds, all the attention she could wish for, so why is she doing this???

    I look forward to hearing from you all.

  2. Hi Lorna and welcome to our group! She *might* have a UTI. Sometimes kitties will find a hard surface to wee on when it hurts to go. She may or may not make noise like she is in pain. A vet visit is in order. If she comes back with a clean bill of health the vet may be able to give you some advice on the behavioral side. Best wishes and keep coming back to our group. let us know how she is doing.

  3. Sure sounds like a UTI to me.

  4. I agree with the above! Vet visit is needed.

  5. I concur with my littermates...Roxy should probably be taken in and checked for a urinary tract infection. Her behavior is quite typical for the condition and needs medication for the infection. Please keep us posted. =)
