Why does my cat keep crying/meowing?

Question

My cat has never done this before.. Everytime he jumps into the litter box he is in there for longer time then usually then he jumps out crys/meows and licks his butt... I looked at his bottom area and there are no sores or redness.. then after he licks and meows he is back to his usually self.. I did switch his litter brand 3weeks ago....Could it be the new litter? Is there anything I can do?

Answer 1

He might have a mild allergy to the brand. As long as he is actually going to the bathroom when he gets in there try switching it back or try Arm N Hammer. Its good on odors and the unscented shouldn't bother his behind.

Answer 2

i doubt it he may be constipated and u should contact local vet and ask him bout it he may have medicine for it

Answer 3

babies?

Answer 4

awwwwwwww maybe litter stuck in his bum try old newspaper instead  

Answer 5

his anal glands may need emptying. or he may have worms,either way get the vet check him over.

Answer 6

He may have a urinary blockage and need to be seen at once by his vet. It can be a life-threatening situation.

Answer 7

Get him to a vet ASAP !

If he is male and his urethra (p***s) is obstructed, he can die.  the bladder can burst or the urine can back up and poison him.  Has he peed recently?  do you feed him Special Kitty or Whiskas or Friskies?  These foods are frequently associated with Urinary tract infections and obstructed urinary tracts.

Plan to spend $300 - $600 if they need to pass a catheter and hospitalize him.
