Anya may be sick

Anya is the focus of Penelope and Calliope's aggression. As a result she started hiding and waiting a really long time to use the litterbox. She holds her urine so long it changes from acid to alkeline, allowing crystals to develope. Also, she holds it so long she has accidents. Generally these accidents happen on or near one of us.

This week Anya had urinated on or near one of us every day for the last four days. Tonight I saw her posturing while sitting next to me on the loveseat and I tried to get her to a box, she peed everywhere. I'm really concerned that she has a urinary tract infection from holding her urine. I have to take her into work first thing next week to see her doctor Melissa Stevans. I love this cat so much. I wish I could make her happier and more confident. I hate hate hate that's she's declawed.

Just to make the evening better, after getting peed on my Anya, I caught Luna's puke in my hand to keep it off the carpet. Darling Hubby gave me good mom points for that one.
