Is it spraying or urinating?...and why now?

[Cataholic]

10 cats, 25 years living with cats- 98% of the time it is behavioural. Ask your vet. Just sayin'.

Cataholic,

Until you have a DVM at the end of your name, I'd suggest you stick to what you know...LAW.

[Jessika]

It is much easier to rule out a medical cause for any problem rather than sit around assuming it is behavioral when it's not.

It may be behavioral 95% of the time... but unless you are a vet or take your pet to the vet, you cannot assume a prognosis.

Donna-until you have your meds regulated, hush up.

What is going on here? That comment to Donna, who BTW I do not know personally, is uncalled for. I agree with her and with Jessika who as a vet tech has professional experience. Better to get things checked out than to worry. Ultimately the kitty's owner will decide the best course to take, she was only asking for opinions.

Litterati,

I must've struck a nerve or she wouldn't have responded. Don't fret, her obnoxiousness has been going on for years.

Cataholic, who seems to get her kicks out of insulting me, thinks because she has a J.D. she's an expert in everything. I ignore her crass comments. Not worth the air I breathe.

[Cataholic]

As for what I do or don't know about inappropriate litter box elimination, it is a healthy dose of knowledge, vet "expert" or not. Not knowing someone's financial situation, like you, Donna...lots of flush cash, right?, I would never rush a female cat to the vet- with what the OP told us. People have the right to their own opinions.
