I just got my 4 month old kitten fixed and he is now pooping on the floor, but wasn't before he was fixed ... why?

We have had Alex the kitten (4 months old) for one month and decided to get another kitten so that he would have someone to play with since he was so rambunctious. We went and got Alex fixed and that same day we brought Emma (3 months old) home. We had her for one day when we realized she was really sick.

We took her to the vet and she stayed over night for 5 days. During the time of her absents Alex has been pooping and peeing on the floor and it's always right by the litter box. I keep the litter box clean so I knew it wasn't that.

He only eats kitten food and the same kitten food since we've had him. Now Emma is back home and he is still poops on the floor as well as in the litter box. I thought maybe he was acting out because she left, but he didn't really get the chance to get to know her since she was there for only one day and he was just fixed and recovering.

I don't know what to do or why he is doing it now? Asked by auberay26 30 months ago Similar questions: month kitten fixed pooping floor Pets.

Seems unlikely it's behavioral , but possibly related to neutering surgery. I'm afraid a vet call is probably in order, because it might possibly be related to the surgery. Could be something rather minor, but I'm thinking the vet ought to take a look at him.It could be some sort of bowel problem, UTI,or then it COULD be a behavior thing.

But, I think you are right, that if he was only around your other kitten for a day, then it seems rather unlikely such an attachment would form as to cause behavior changes. Good luck and I hope you find out the problem soon. Don't you wish our pets could just talk to us sometimes and tell us what is bothering them?

Sources: this is my opinion .

Your kitten's incontinence is probably due to trauma. The most common cause in kittens is trauma. Kittens that are incontinent secondary to trauma generally have other signs besides incontinence and were continent before the trauma.

Part of the reason could be that you got the cat fixed at too young an age. I understand that the animal is supposed to be about a year old to allow most of the maturation to happen before interrupting its hormonal secretions. The snipping could have interrupted the animal's sense of bowel control.

Or it could be mad at you. Or it could have undergone a hormonally-caused personality shift and you'll have to train it all over again.

When one of my cats had a urinary tract infection that is what happened with her. Is he still peeing outside the box too or did he stop that? I started to use Dr. Elsey's Cat Attract Litter and she started using the box again.

They also sell a Kitten Attract litter. Or Alex's going outside the box could be territorial if it started right when you brought Emma home. I would call the vet and let them know what is going on.

Good Luck with Alex and Emma! .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
