Is it possible....

My guys have the diarrhea again. Along with the diarrhea, someone has started to pee again - on the kitchen counter, on clothes, etc.

Now, is it possible that Mr. Stressy Boy (aka Pouncer) is upset that the diarrhea is back and he thinks his peeing problem is back too? I have been watching closely and he has NOT been spending time in and out of the litterboxes like he did when he was sick. He's acting completely normal in every way.

Could he just THINK he is sick again and now reacting the way he did when he WAS sick?

That is a great question, I have no idea but I do hope that your guys get better and stop peeing all over the place

Ah gee Kim, sorry to hear the poos and pees are back. So you aren't certain who is doing it? Has anything happened to stress the stress-out king?

I sure wish I had some insight for you but I'm wishing you luck getting to the bottom of it (no pun intended). Here's hoping for litterboxes filled with tootsie rolls and pee biscuits where they belong!

Well King Allen has been back to pooping on the bathmats the past few days (I KNOW its Allen because he's the only one who ever did that) Someone (I'm thinking Allen or Pouncer) pooped on the carpet a good 2 feet away from the litterbox the other night. They've been BAD lately. I switched back from the Hills prescription diet to Nutro. The bad behavior start the same time I did the food switch, AND its the same time Emory came to live here.

It is entirely possible that Emory is stressing them out. I am glad Em is only here a little while longer.

Gosh Kim, I'm sorry to hear about all this. After all the help you've given me over the past few weeks with my problem, I feel bad that you're going through this now. I hope that it gets cleared up soon. Hang in there!

Oh my goodness, Kim! I am guessing the food change has maybe started the diarrhea again since it is affecting more than one cat. But, I am also thinking that Emory is causing the stress and therefore, unpleasant behaviors in Pouncer! I'm so sorry!
