    Please pray for Kaylanee, she’s just recently started peeing outside the litter box litter box at least 2x that I found yesterday and once that I’m aware of this morning. She’s pooping in the litter box. I called vet and tech said to monitor her for any other behavioral changes, eating, lethargy, drinking, etc., I do have appointment for Thursday June 18 and will call before that if needed. My PTSD , from loosing all my 4 babies between March 28-January 26, is starting to kick in and my emotions are all over the place right now. It feels like a repeat of last December, the week before I was leaving for vacation, my 92 year old mother fell, my friend’s husband died the same day, suddenly and I lost my Freyja, unexpectedly on December 17. At least this time it’s only animal -and car issues but I’m
    Not sure how much more I’m able to handle.

        Suzanne,
        I’m so sorry you’re going through this! After losing four beloved babies in such a short period of time, it can understand that this would trigger a lot of fear and bring back those painful memories. You’ve already done exactly the right thing by calling the vet and scheduling an appointment. Cats can sometimes start peeing outside the box for reasons that are treatable (urinary issue, stress, changes in routine, or even something as simple as litter box preference, they are picky sometimes). I know our tendency is to expect the worst as pet parents. Right now, try to take things one day at a time and remember to be gentle with yourself, too. Kaylanee is lucky to have someone who notices changes quickly and is paying such close attention to her.

        I’ll be keeping both you and Kaylanee in my thoughts and prayers. I hope the appointment brings reassuring answers and that this turns out to be something manageable. Sending you a big hug so you don’t have to carry all of this fear alone. ❤️

          Suzanne, sorry to hear you’re having some issues with Kaylanee and hoping it will be something treatable like a UTI. Thinking of you both and sending extra hugs and prayers that things will work out.
