So I'm guessing I shouldn't worry about Frosto puking? I know the Atopica can make cats throw up, but he hasn't in a while and then had a bunch of incidents happening pretty close together.

Is there some way to make him start crapping in the box again?If it's unscented litter, an uncovered box, you scoop frequently frequently (daily at least) and the poop looks normal this can be tricky. If all 4 of those things are true I would try changing it up by moving the box, removing the mat etc. If all of those things in the first sentence aren't true then make them true. You could also try pulling the shades down and showing him how it's done.Litter is unscented - it's that stuff made from pine. Should we be using the stuff made from crushed up rocks? Usually we scoop it daily but sometimes we forget and let it go a day. It's a covered box but we recently removed the cover (to no avail). Turds are normal.

I have one cat that hates that stuff. Do you have more than one litter box? Some cats like to do different business in different boxes...

Bumping an old thread here for some advice. One of our cats is being weird. I'll let my partner explain - We noticed a bald spot developing right on the base of our cat's tail. He's medium-hair, and we've noticed he occasionally pulls out his hair in small clumps while grooming, but it's never created a bald spot until now (we try to brush him daily.) He's been on the same food for at least 6 months, so no changes there, and his brother (shorthair) doesn't have any issues like this. The skin itself looks healthy and there don't seem to be any tender spots. He does get some dander on his back from time to time. Any ideas on things to try out to remedy this? The hair-eating also means there are some gnarly hairballs (once again, his brother doesn't have these either). We could also bring him to a vet, but didn't know if we should look into trying a different food or some sort of topical treatment before then.Any ideas or insight would certainly be welcome!

I'm having a whole bunch of issues trying to get photos to upload from my computer on here, but I'll try to figure something out!
