I had a cat that starting peeing outside the box all over the place and at the time had to surrender him to the MSPCA because I couldn't afford to take him to the vet. Years later when I had one of my new cats declawed and was researching problems (my cat had been butchered by the vet who did the declawing, I will never do it again!!) I found that declawed cats can develop arthritis in their paws and no longer be able to bury the pee and poo and start going outside the box. Hope this helps : )Queenbuv3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10767805292831696201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372218229550567460.post-57822117413919039472009-04-13T10:58:00.000-07:002009-04-13T10:58:00.000-07:00Poor Rhi Rhi!!!

I wonder if the defecating outside her box was a way to say "HELP ME" and once she starts to feel better, if that will go away. I hope it isn't dementia or senility.
