Cat Breathing Problems
Is It a Medical Cat Peeing Problem or Is It Cat Spraying?
Many cat owners are puzzled when their cats start to pee all over the house. It can be quite a nightmare trying to remove the smell of cat pee! But more importantly, you may be very worried that your cat is having some ill health or disease.
Before you get sick with worry (or overly frustrated), do take a minute to see if your cat is having a medical peeing problem or if your cat is in fact spraying to mark its territory.
You can tell the difference between a cat's normal peeing and spraying by this:
If your cat is peeing normally, it would squat to do it and this usually lasts for a few seconds. However, if it is spraying, it would give out a short quick spurt of urine at different parts of the house (and this is usually done standing).
There is always some trigger that causes a cat to spray. Usually, it has to do with a feeling of insecurity and anxiety that your cat is having. Some common triggers are:
1) A new cat or another pet has been introduced into the family
2) A new baby has arrived in the family
3) A visitor is staying over at the home
4) A new partner/spouse to the cat owner
5) New stray cats in the neighborhood
6) Stray cats entering the house
7) If you have always had a cuddly relationship with your cat but now you don't have the time to spend quality time with it because you are busy or your cat is left at home alone more often than in the past.
If you identify any of these triggers as possible causes of your cat peeing, then focus on removing the triggers or taking more time to shower love on your cat so that it feels secure and less anxious. If removing the triggers still does not work, you may need to consult a cat behaviorist for help.
Here are some signs to help you determine if your cat has a medical cat pee problem:
1) Smelly urine accompanied by blood. Cat may be peeing much more frequently than normal or it has trouble holding in urine. It may also be licking the vulva or penis.
2) Large quantities of urine. Cat is experiencing excessive thirst, mouth ulcers, weight loss, bad breath, anaemia or vomiting
3) If it's a male cat and it's straining to pee, accompanied by vomiting and mournful howling
4) If it's a young animal and it's pee is very pale. It is also having difficulty growing and strengthening itself.
One or more of these signs could signal kidney and bladder stones and infections. If your cat is showing any of these signs, it is urgent that you bring your cat to a vet immediately.

Cat breathing problem/cold?
My 2 year old cat has been coughing and when she breathes, it sounds like a human with a cold who is congested breathing. Occasionally, she makes wet coughing sounds. We are taking her to the vet tomorrow, but I am just wondering if anyone has had an experience like this with their cat and has any idea what it could be.
It sounds like she has snot/mucus in her nose. She's eating fine and acting normal, it's just scaring me..
