Keep our kitty in your thoughts tomorrow

We're taking Precious *our cat* to the vet tomorrow. She's 13 and lately she's stopped using the litter box, and where once she wanted to be left alone now she constantly want's to be petted and she isn't herself..hoping we don't get bad news...i'll be so upset
Here she is with my dad in 2009

shes sooo cute i love cats i hope shes okay

Quoting Cali's mama  :" shes sooo cute i love cats i hope shes okay "

thanks we're hoping so too she's very much loved and we'd be lost if something should happen to her

I hope she's okay and it's something simple to treat like a UTI ):

Quoting Almyk:" I hope she's okay and it's something simple to treat like a UTI ):"

Thanks hopefully she's peeing on one spot now and she stays in the same spot only moving to eat or drink a bit so hoping to god its something easy to fix

Both of my grandma's kitties lived to 20 years old! Good luck for your kitty!

Thank you   I will update after vets if it's bad news it may take me longer as we'll want to be with her she's a great cat gives little kisses and always has been well behaved so this is all new to us

I have had 2 cats with the issue...1 was a UTI which was easy to treat with antibiotics, the other was diabetic, also easily treated, but not super cheap....is she drinking alot of water? Is there any blood in her urine?

Good luck to her! I hope its something super easy to treat. When my kitty had a drastic change and stopped using the litter box it was just a UTI. Sometimes they just can't tell us otherwise.

no more than usual, we havent seen blood

When they have a uti, they associate the pain it causes them with the litterbox, so they look for somewhere more comfortable to go...mine chose SO's clean clothes (after we had a fight ;) ) and the bathtub! It was easy to see the problem in the tub, just got her the antibiotics and she was as good as new in a week!

Aww this gives me hope praying thats what it is my moms been laying towels on the couch *her chosen spot* and she will go on the towels like 3 times a day

Thats most likely her problem then, when u get the antibiotics (if thats whats wrong) i suggest setting up an extra litterbox just to give her an extra option so she doesnt continue to go on the couch. Alot of times the uti's can be stress related, and cats can get stressed over stupid little changes, so give her an extra potty spot just to be safe   13 years isnt very old for a kitty, the cat i grew up with was overweight and way lazy most of her life and lived to be 20  

UPDATE: Precious had a bad bladder infection, we got her an antibiotic shot and the vet said she should be good as new   thanks everyone!
