Does your cat poop or pee outside the box?

I am fostering five kitties whose people mom just passed away from cancer.  One of the kitties, a female, the momma of the brood, had developed a habit of pottying outside the box.  The hospice caregivers wondered if that would keep me from fostering her.

No way!  Why?  Because I know something they don’t.  Pottying outside the box means something, physical or emotional, is going on with the kitty.  Furthermore, with the scent still present in the carpet, she is likely to go to that place again.

One of the holistic HealthyPetNet vets has a great video on their pet health blog about cats going outside the box.  It’s part one of a two-parter and I can’t wait to see the second one!  If you have kitties, this is a Must See.

P.S.  Is the kitty, Gabby, going outside the box at my place?  No :-)   Not once.  See if you can learn something from Dr. Sarah’s video that helps you with YOUR kitty.
