Defecating Problem with Cat

by Tay's Mommy
(California)

I have a 14-15 year old cat. She is very house-trained and always knows when to use the kitty litter box. Today I woke up to find feces scattered around the room (including my bed). Why would my cat behave like this? Could it be behavioral or physical?


Hi!

I doubt that Tay's problem is just behavioral. Even if it is, Tay is at the age that certain conditions are more likely to develop in a cat, and medical conditions must always be ruled out before it is said to be behavioral.

These cat illnesses include kidney disease, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, irritable bowel, or constipation without an underlying cause.


If the vet determines that she has no medical concerns, I am sure he/she will discuss how to treat her behavioral problem with you.

Thank you for writing!
Dr. Neely
