Hank is sick

[buttercup132]

We talked to my grandma and she said the reason why he isnt going in
his litter box is because my mom only cleans the whole thing out every
2 weeks. She said being as cats are such clean animals he didnt want to
go in. He is doing fine now. His poop is back to normal too. He will be
going to the vet for a check up soon anyways because he has to get fixed.
Hes back to his normal crazy self too. Maybe he jus ate something that
he wasnt supposed to and got a tummy ache.

Oh I am soooooo relieved to know that Hankie Pie is doing better.
Please give that gorgeous boy of yours and big hug and kiss for me.

Your Mom only cleans the litter box out every 2 weeks.
Don't you help with cleaning the box also? Please, from now on, make sure his box is cleaned EVERY day. That is also important to his health.

She cleaned the poo and pee out but not the whole thing like dump out all
the litter and replace it.

What type of litter do you use? If its clumping, then cleaning it out every two weeks is fine for one cat. If its the non-clumping litter..... yuck! When I use non-clumping litter, I dump it every other day for one or two kittens. For my adult cats, it would be every day. Thats a hassle so I never use the non-clumping

If its clumping, how often do you scoop it daily? Once? Twice? Some cats don't like to poop where they've already peed (and vice versa) so maybe a second box will help him.
