Whats Upsetting My Cat ?

An upset digestive system can cause diarrhea, especially in younger cats. Take their food away for one to two days to see if their diarrhea disappears. Never take away their water because they need water to replace fluids lost by having diarrhea. Diarrhea causes one to become dehydrated quickly. Put out fresh water for your cat every day. A dry cat can die.

Changing brands of cat food can cause diarrhea. Overeating foods can cause diarrhea. A cat that eats raw or rotten meat can get diarrhea. Too much milk in your cat’s diet can cause diarrhea.

A relocated cat can get diarrhea from the stress of being relocated. Worms can cause severe diarrhea in cats.

Feeding your cat white rice with a bit of butter can help relieve your cat’s diarrhea. Canned pumpkin also will help your cat with getting over diarrhea. Your vet sells exceptional canned, dry cat food formulated especially for cats with diarrhea. I have fed my cat canned food for diarrhea, which helped considerably. Your vet also sells pills that will help relieve your cat’s diarrhea. I gave these pills to my cats, which were entirely cured in five days.

The only times my cats have gotten diarrhea is either from worms or being relocated.

I try to keep all of my cats wormed regularly. Do not change foods suddenly, as this can cause digestive issues.

If your cat seems lazy and is not improving, bring him to your vet ASAP.

I hope your cat never develops any digestive issues.

Cats like consistency. They do not like changes whatsoever.

I will give you a list of things that may upset your cat:

new cat in the house
a new piece of furniture
a different person in your house
new appliance
different cat litter
different cat food
new bedspread
you’re leaving on a vacation

Your cat might stop using his litter box because he dislikes the new kitten you bought at home. He may start scratching up your furniture.

When I have gone on vacation, my cats have gotten into mischief. They have knocked things down and scattered any paperwork that may be laid out. My cats vomit when I am gone for a long time. They get a nervous stomach. Your cat may have loose stools while you are gone. Leave some clothes out or a blanket that has your scent on it. Leaving these out may calm your cat.

I have had cats quit using their litter box for a while because a new couch was bought into the house. Put the pillows from your old sofa on it for a time. The old pillows will have that familiar scent on them.

When you change cat food, always have the old food available until you are sure they are enjoying the new food.

Have another litter box with your old brand when changing to a different cat litter. This will prevent accidents. I had a new brand of cat litter that the cats would not even go near the litter box with the latest waste in it.

When you buy anything new, introduce your cat slowly and place something with a familiar scent on it.

A new kitten should be placed in a cage or bathroom where they can smell each other through the door. Leave the new kitten there for at least a week, then let him loose. They should all get along fine now.

Make all changes gradually if you can.
