Episode 45 – Feline House Soiling – What You Need To Know!

This is a topic we are SO passionate about.

In a study by Salman et. al. (see below), 28% of cats who were relinquished to shelters were relinquished for behavioural reasons, and of those 28%, 43% were relinquished for house soiling.

While this is a distressing situation for cats and caregivers alike, we actually have a really good chance of successfully treating these cases, as long as we take the path to getting to the correct diagnosis.

In this episode, Dr Katrin gives you her approach to categorizing the different causes of feline house soiling and how we can differentiate between the different presentations to find the correct diagnosis and treatment plan.

In this episode you will learn:

1. The normal stages of kitten development and elimination

2. Possible physical health contributions to Feline House Soiling

3. How to differentiate between Urine Marking and Elimination presentations

4. Where FIC (Feline Idiopathic Cystitis) fits into the puzzle

5. Why addressing stress is vital in all cases of Feline House Soiling

Here are the resources Dr Katrin mentions in this episode:
