Hello everyone! I seem to just be having one problem after the next! Mickey has recently decided to stop using the litter box.. he will sometimes, and sometimes he will go right next to it even if it’s perfectly clean.
I feel like this may be my fault.. but I’m not sure, and want to know all things possible that could be wrong or things I can fix to make it better.
I have been using the bathroom as his “room” since I brought him home.. he only actually slept in there 2 nights before I gave in and let him sleep in my room, so I moved his litter box and food in my bedroom on the floor at night. When I leave my house I keep him locked in the bathroom because he’s definitely still too young to be roaming the apartment unsupervised. Especially because I have caught him trying to eat random things on the floor, I’m always sweeping and dusting the floor because he will even try and eat little dust bunnies. I put towels down on the bathroom floor all around his litter box and he started peeing on the towel, and every time I see he peed on it I put a clean towel down. It started with just pee and now he’s pooping on the towel, and tracking it all over!! I feel like the problem is because I didn’t have 2 litter boxes (one in my room and bathroom) and he is getting confused when I move it, but I still don’t get why he would poop on the towel right in front of a clean litter box.
I also noticed bright red blood in his poop, not sure what that could mean.. and this morning he pooped on the towel again and it didn’t come all the way out and was dangling out and he tracked it all over the house (cause the door was open to the bathroom and I couldn’t catch him) I think he ate hair and it was stuck to the hair. I am totally overwhelmed and stressed because I have to keep him in the bathroom for long periods of times some days. Since I have gotten him 2 weeks ago my brother has been home to watch him while I go to work even though he mostly just stays in the bathroom, he will check on him through out the day. My brother is out of town now and I had to go to work this morning and will be gone for about 7 hours.. which I know is a long time to leave him alone but he is usually ok when I get back. I am now extra worried now because of this poop situation and I don’t want him to be covered in poop and try and clean his eye (that is still red and goopy with infection or something) I don’t know what else to do or how to make life better for him and me.. I put 2 litter boxes next to each other in the bathroom when I left this morning just in case, and tried to cover up most of the towel with litter boxes lol.
Also, I am feeding him blue buffalo kitten food and he seems to be ok with it, but I’m not sure obviously.. I don’t really know any warning signs or anything to look out for or be concerned about and what’s normal and what’s not!
I have so many questions and concerns and need all the help I can get! I’m very stressed out and worried about him, and wish I could be with him all the time.
Please let me know what I could do or any suggestions or anything I should or shouldn’t be doing.
