Bonnie, I have a large cat that DROOLS worse than any mastiff! Part of the reason is that I had to have his one fang removed when he was rescued b/c it was broken off and rotten. NOW, nearly every time his gets up...there is a good sized drool spot where he was laying. It's a bit disgusting...but forgivable. PLUS, his very favorite pastime is eating...& I've noticed when he dreams of eating (mouth going a mile a minute in his sleep) that he drools considerably more. Usually has to get a drink when he gets up. Lastly, I had another cat that would drool when he was starting with a sinus infection...- his nose would drip and he would mouth breathe. (If you see Lucky's nose dripping or feel it's wet- you would prob. want to take him in to be checked out - it can be the sign of bad teeth or ..with Felv a flare-up begining.) While the wet spots may be cat hack - I've never found a healthy cat that would continue to lay where she/he soiled. Good luck. T

But I think I've finally solved the mystery of the Pee Spot! Lucky frequently spits up. He'll be fine for days, then have a bout of spitting up almost clear liquid, 3 or 4 times a day. I mentioned to the vet he spits up and the vet seemed unconcerned, saying cats are very susceptible to gastric upset. I now think the spots on the bed were not pee, but spit up. I'm not sure if this is a serious issue; I'll mention it to the vet again. But having him spit up rather than pee is a little easier for me psychologically, at least! ~Bonnie ----- Original Message ----- From: "paola cresti" <[email protected]> To: "leukemia list" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, October 24, 2010 10:28 PM Subject: [Felvtalk] Fw: Bonnie > > > Also pee doesn't smell much when a cat has kidney failure - just FYI as > there'd > be other symptoms (drinking a lot for example) and also it's at an advanced > stage that the pee doesn't smell anymore, because the kidneys can't clean the > body of toxins so it doesn't smell. > > I don't think this is the case, but just so it's out there (I had a kitty that > lived with kidney failure for quite a while) also it wouldn't make the cat > incontinent or explain why he's peeing where he sleeps. > > > > > ________________________________ > From: Gloria Lane <[email protected]> > To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > Sent: Thu, October 21, 2010 11:41:47 AM > Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Bonnie > > If it isn't drool and it is pee, and doesn't smell, that could imply urinary > tract problems. > > > Gloria > > Sent from my iPhone > > On Oct 21, 2010, at 10:49 AM, "Bonnie Hogue" <[email protected]> wrote: > >> The bed was wet again this morning, near where he was laying last night.
