Midnight Snacks & Pooing
Hi, everyone, I am a newcomer from Japan. My 6-month old shorthair is
not fixed yet but will pretty soon, and he is having this tenacious habit of getting up in the middle of the night to snack on feeder and then gives me this smelly poo souvenir. Since he is shifting into the 6th months and will be fixed and all, I guess that he will tone down a bit but if anybody is experienced with kittens, please let me know whether or not it is normal. I used to have a very good cat for 18 years before him and he was not that wild. :-) I shall be waiting for your inputs, guys! Meow! |

Midnight Snacks & Pooing
Hi, cats are most active at night (although more particularly at dusk and
dawn) and they'll eat most often then. Where is your cat depositing his poo, presumably not in his littertray? I'd suggest two trays in different areas (some cats don't like to urinate and defecate in the same tray) and perhaps look at the litter. When your cat defecates, he'll need to press down hard with his paws and if the litter is hard, such as wood pellets, that may be uncomfortable for him. http://www.wizz-catz.co.uk/catlitter.html I presume the poo is normal, not loose or runny?

Midnight Snacks & Pooing
Hey, Catlover, thanks for the input.
My kittie has a littertray available for him and he religiously uses that for his pees and poos. Problem is that I have to locate that to close to my room because my Vet says that a kitten is not strong enough to hold off defecation after eating something. Eating something stimulates him to go to bathroom. Kittens do remember the littertray location at where it was at the first time, so I cannot move it around. Actually I would like to move it afar from my room, so I can sleep well in the midnight but it makes me feel like I am not taking a good care of the kitten because he is playful in the middle of the night like you and I know. Ugh, it stinks. Food is going to be available with the auto feeder if it gets too much for me to handle in the middle of night, but the poopers need fixing by the owner. ...Sigh. |
