Digging holes
My nine year old female cat (spayed) constantly digs holes in my lawn
but almost never excretes. I took her to the vet and she said there was no evidence of a problem. We treated her anyway with antibiotics just in case she had a urinary infection. Should I be concerned? J. Huff |

Huff Thanks for no help with my problem. I guess my cat isn't important to you guys. hey, some of us have dodgy news servers. i didn't see your post the first time, but my cat does a similar thing. she digs about 5 holes, quite deep, then poos in the last one. i assumed she just likes digging, or is a perfectionist about her toilet. maybe your cat just likes the smell of freshly turned earth! if you're really concerned, i'd suggest getting a second opinion from a psychologist or another vet. and take note of what else she does when she digs the hole. is she eating the soil? does she 'play' with it? is she behaving in a hunting way? is she appearing to try to go to the toilet? Or is she just digging a hole, then wanders off do do something else? observing her behaviour, and giving us more detail about her behaviour when she digs, how many holes she digs, how deep, is she indoors or outdoors, etc whatever you can think of, will help more people reply. most people here will only reply if they are sure they know what they are talking about. i am one of the more stupid ones, so I am just hazarding a guess and offering a few suggestions. give us a bit more info and the real experts will com e out of the woodwork with some ideas. -- One cat just leads to another. -Ernest Hemingway There are many intelligent species in the Universe.

Honestly? hehehe nah, maybe they just be false alarms... and maybe the digging sets her free? Have you considered giving her coffee with a little sugar and a little cream? |
