Common Questions and Answers about Why do cats throw up on carpet
throwing-up
So my cat has been pooping in the litter box with the same litter inside all of her life. Now she is deciding to poop in the hallway, away from her litter box. I will put her in front of the litter box, and even put her in the litter box (well shove her in is more like it) and she'll just pop out and run away from it and continue to defecate on the said carpet. She'd poop on the old carpet and now is pooping on the new carpet that has been put in a few weeks ago.
I have a long-haired, soon-to-be 7-year-old cat. She throws up a lot. Sometimes it's a hairball but generally it's just vomit. I've learned to keep her a little bit hungry but not so much that she eats too fast when she eats again as both of these extremes cause her to get sick more. I know cats throw up but she seems to do it more than other cats I've had. She's laid back and doesn't seem psychologically damaged. Any ideas?
My 15 year old male tabby is licking fur off his belly and hind legs. I tried orange bitters, but he would just throw up all over the place....I'm wondering if the new carpet in my apt is the culprit. Or the new cat tree a friend gave me. It was well aired out it had been in storage for over a year, and I shampooed it with cat shampoo and let it dry. Could this be the cause? He is a indoor cat, no flees, no redness or sores were he licks either. I have been in this apt for 5 months now.
Somebody in my apartment has a habit of dropping pills on the carpet including opioid analgesics like Vicodin, muscle relaxants, anti-anxiety pills, etc. and I'm worried that my cats may eat them by accident and get sick or die. Although most of these pills probably don't taste that good, I think a cat may swallow a pill that has gotten stuck to his tongue by accident because he cannot spit it out. Please let me know if this is something I should worry about.
My female cat has been doing this for many years. My male cats have never done this thank god. No matter what I use on the carpet she will still do it. It's not a problem with her food, shes very happy with the food she eats. She never gets any people food either. When she does actually use her litter box she's never in any pain. I have taken her to the vet more times than I can count & they keep telling me that there is nothing wrong with her.
There are things you can spray on the carpet that are supposed to be repellent. I have read that a natural orange oil spray will do the trick.
I also think you need to re-evaluate your definition of mean. Cats just like to be close to you, especially if you're gone a lot, that means they are often underfoot tripping you up, I highly doubt that is a malicious act. All of this is just natural energetic kitty behavior.
Found an untreated log and had it cut so there was a flat side. I set the log flat side down on a stepping stone so it would not lay on carpet. She was very curious at first. I found her laying next to it, guess she felt she was outdoors, lol.
It took her about two weeks to start using it but she goes to town on it now. It totally wore down her nails and she is not getting stuck any longer.
I hope this can help someone else having this issue. IT WORKS!
After the birth of our first child our older cat has gotten jealous and started peeing and pooping on the carpet. And now with our second baby's birth just around the corner from feel so helpless. I can't put up with her never using the litter box and hust peeing on the carpet and clothes. I've found a no kill animal shelter not too far from my town and think its time that they go. Lord knows I love them but I can't do it anymore...
