Kitty issue
Posted: Sun Feb 21, 2016 6:23 pm
I have a feeling I know what is going on, but thought that I would check here for other ideas.
Patient is a mature, spayed, female cat. Around 10. Symptoms are inappropriate peeing. Bald spot on tail head. The hair is not thin, it is completely gone. Area includes base of tail on both sides, and starting down the tail.
We have one other cat, a neutered male. They do not particularly get along. Both have been caught marking. For two cats, we have four boxes. My female has her private box in the ensuite. We had two dogs, but just lost my seventeen and a half year old dog last week. Quiet household. No signs of nervous grooming, or itching. Kitten sleeps on me at night, so I think that I would feel her grooming. Husband is also awake half the night, and has not noticed her excessively grooming. No signs of fleas.
Husband in the past has found a puddle on his slippers in the morning. Knew it was one of the two cats, but not which one. Today, husband was at the computer in the bedroom. Male cat was not in the room, only Kitten. She was running around playing. In that time frame, she watered his slippers right under his nose. Figured that was a statement that something was wrong, and not because the bacon stopped coming! (He was sharing his breakfast with her. Very tiny pieces of bacon)
So, any ideas?
