Squatting

[whiskey104]

Hi, My cat Whiskey is nearly 2 yrs old and he is de-sexed and just recently he has been squatting in certain stop in my lounge room  but noting ever comes out.
I am just wondering if anyone else has ever experienced this with their cat..
thanx

Have to throw my 2 cents in ....hope Whiskey is soon over this mess.  I learned on the cat forum about how to prevent UTIs in our cats.   Now I can't bring myself to feed any kit that appears @ my door anything but Wellness canned food.....which they usually love, tho I suspect dry food is their usual diet.  One ate Shadow's leftover kitten chow..again it was a no grain product made by Wellness....so am sure it was fine.

Isn't it amazing how the entire paradigm of feeding animals has changed???  If Whiskey will eat raw meat it is good.  Some cats can't make that transition.  Good luck.

Thanks for the update.  Was that a vet recommended diet that you have him on?

Hope he does better on his new diet!!  =)

Yeah, many cats love their dry food - unfortunately, crystals are the outcome for many.  I'm so glad you got to the bottom of Whiskey's problem and he's now on the road to recovery!.  Good job, hon!  Just be a tough mama - you're doing the right thing by denying him.  I do know how hard it is to change a cats diet, but it's for his own good - and your pocketbook.  What kind of food did you decide to go with?

Well We have found out what was the cause of Whiskey's Crystals and It is dry food (One of his most favourite things to eat).
So he is now on a no dry food diet which is really hard because thats all he wants sometimes
