I had to be away from our house for the holidays and chose to bring our cat with us. He’s been sleeping in our room but doesn’t seem to be peeing or pooping. How long can the cat go without using the bathroom?
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Usually about 24 hours is possible. It is very important to make sure that you have a litter box or two available with the type of litter that he likes and is used to. Sometimes this can be observed in times of stress or when adjusting to a new environment. Make sure that you have this available and monitor him for the next few hours and it is very likely that he will go. Good luck!

Hi My 14 yr old cat hasn’t passed faeces for 24 hrs. He ha a big round hard tummy Is there anything I can do?? He is bright eyed and otherwise look well
Hi, and thanks for your question. Mild constipation that lasts no more than two days can usually be resolved at home with increased fiber and hydration. Canned pumpkin (not pie filling, just the straight-up pumpkin) or liquid paraffin can be used, and should work straight away in the following 8 hours from administration. DO NOT TRY to give an enema as it could be dangerous and cause electrolyte imbalances and colon perforation. If constipation lasts more than 24 hours from administration of those or 48 hours in general, a check up at your local vet is required. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further. If this answer was helpful please let us know, this will be used to improve our service!

Hi, my cat is 10.5, male orange tabby, not obese, active. He has not deficated in 2 days. This happened about 4-5 years ago and went on for about a week, and he was close to death. IThat time, he eventually deficated and was immediately fine afterwar
You are better off giving him Miralax powder. The psyllium is a fiber that will bulk up the stools but it isn't really a laxative/stool softener. I would give him 1/4 teaspoon mixed in a bit of canned food every 12 hours to effect. I think this will help tremendously. https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/equate-clearlax/6000189073881 Hope this helps. If you have more questions you can always opt for a private consultation where we can chat back and forth. That way you can ask as many questions as you'd like. Best wishes.

Cat hasn't eaten much in 2 days and is kicking all the food I give him. I tried 7 different types, both wet and dry. He gets very excited, licks or sniffs the food then starts aggressively kicking at it and crying as if he's hungry. His stools are al
Poor Poof! I'd be worried there is something causing him pain ongoing, either with his mouth, or further into his GI tract, especially if his stools have changed and are very dry (which could indicate something such as constipation or dehydration, or even a blockage further up preventing eating/stool moving through properly). If he's gone more than a day without eating anything and is still exhibiting the behaviors you mentioned, it would be best to bring him into a vet ASAP for care. Bringing in a sample of his stool (if he goes again before the vet) can also help check for any issues such as parasites that could be causing GI upset.

How can i get my male cat to stop pooping and peeing on my mom's bed?
Thanks for using Boop by Petco. This is a frustrating thing and is very likely behavioral since it is both poop and urine. If it’s the exact same spot on the bed, the first thing I would try is getting a litter box for right on the bed where he goes. If he goes for that, awesome. Leave it there a few days (cleaning it daily of course) and then slowly start moving it toward the side of the bed, an inch or two each day. This could be that he feels there is competition with another cat, has anxiety, cor some other thing that we may never figure out. Spraying that area with products designed to get rid of the smell, rearranging the furniture, keeping th bedroom door shut at all times are also all tactics to try. Finally, speak to your vet about anti-anxiety/behavior modification medication which can help quite a bit with inappropriate elimination. Best wishes to you and Jack.
