Everytime my cat comes home from the cattery.?

Question

she has diarrhoea in her cat basket in the car on the way home. would it be trauma from the being in the cattery. or change in the food she has. its so bad i let her loose in the garden until shes licked herself clean. should i let her do this or should i bathe her instead?

Answer 1

I wouldn't take her to that cattery again, and if she can tolerate it I would bathe her rather than letting her clean herself. You should see if there is a FETCHPETCARE in your city. They are wonderful and nationwide

www.fetchpetcare.com

You search availability by your zip code.

Answer 2

It's probably a combination of both. If we change our cats food, they sometimes have problems ... we've never kenneled them, but I could see the trauma bothering a cat. Is it possible for you to send your cat's food with them so you could eliminate the food factor next time? Some cats have very sensitive digestive systems.

Answer 3

Its probably being away from home and the change in food or it might be the cattery. You could change cattery next time your away and if this happens again, I think you should bathe her rather than let her l**k herself clean.

Answer 4

i would not use the same cattery if my baby came home like this!

they might be feeding her different food etc?

change catterys i think!  

Answer 5

its not the  cattery.. its the ride home... the sell cat facial fermone spray which helps cats when they are stressed and develop anxiety.. ( that is probably why she soils herself).

look into it

good luck

Answer 6

If ,when you take your cat to the cattery the next time you also take the food that she normally eats you will be able to discount food as the problem i.e.if she still has diarrhoea. ( I always take my cats own food).

It could be the stress of missing you.

One of my cats would wet her bed as a sign of stress.

Also when you collect her from the cattery next time ...be prepared.....take old sheets and newspapers!!!!!

Answer 7

I would bathe her.

A change in food is a real cause of this.

IF THEY GIVE HER MILK THAT WILL ALSO CAUSE IT!

Take your own food to the cattery for her...

Answer 8

could be the food, and cos your travelling with her, we fetched my cat 180+ miles from 1 end of engalnd to the other, and she had the craps for a day or 2!

Answer 9

she is scared , u should bath her, imagian if it was you who had this problem and ur mjum made you go out side and l**k your own poo off thats vile its also a form of cruilty  

Answer 10

Could, be the change of food. And also, being away from home - Trauma.
