Hi,
My cat Cricket will be 4 in April. We've had her since she was about 6 weeks old & she's spayed & declawed. She has always eaten dry cat food (except for some table scraps) & never caused us any litter box problems until recently. We noticed her licking herself & then discovered she had urinated in the bathtub. I know that's better than on the carpet, but I think she's doing that, too. When she urinates, it's just a very small amount.
We are keeping our daughter's pets, a cat & a dog. Cricket doesn't get along with the cat, who's pretty old, but likes the dog. Both cats share a self-feeder, water dishes & litter box. If this were a jealousy issue, I'd think it would have started earlier. The "guest pets" have been here since last September.
Is this a health problem & should I take her to a vet or is there a simple solution than I can do myself?
Thanks.
