Mrs Milly Cat is quite a stressy cat and has been known to have cystitis from time to time. This morning she seemed to be okay, nothing out of the ordinary. I changed the litter trays as usual (she has two - one upstairs that she poos in and one downstairs for wees). She'd done a big wee this morning. She's usually happy in the house, but does like to have the door open so that she can sit on the door step and watch out or sit on the bench next to the house. At about 12 noon she came tearing into the house at top speed. She first went to her down stairs litter tray and then to her upstairs litter tray. Strangely she did a poo in the down stairs litter tray. She spent an hour going backward and forwards between each tray, seemingly straining. There was no blood and she isn't weeing anywhere other than the litter trays, both of which would denote UTI or cystitis. She's also not attempting to hide away. THen after an hour she went to her food bowl and ate a bit, went to the kitchen to her drinks bowl and drank and returned to the living room and jumped up on the sofa and has been sleeping there for about 3 hours. I've taken her dry food away and left her with wet food only, put a little water into her wet food made sure the water bowls have fresh water and sprayed felispray around the place to calm her down. I called the vet as I was worried, incidentally I'm an over anxious cat owner, they've told me that as there is no blood and she's eating, I'm to monitor her urine output and take her in tomorrow or Monday if I'm still worried.
Has anyone else experienced this with their cats? Or have any more suggestions that might help calmer or ease her discomfort if it's mild cysitis? My friend suggested giving a little coconut oil, which she lapped of my fingers and asked for more. Any advice gratefully received.
