Hello all,
Not sure if any of you remember me, but before Christmas I posted about my cat Ragdoll, who had been hit by a car and had suffered various injuries along with nerve damage that affected her toileting habits. To cut a long story short, about a month ago she was given the "all-clear" so to speak - jaw, pelvis, etc was healed, including her toileting. She still will not empty her bladder completely but she empties it so that there's literally only a tiny bit left in there. She never lets it get to a dangerous size.
Anyway, this morning I was walking downstairs with her to take her outside. She had been scratching at my bedroom door so I presumed she needed the toilet. On the way there she suddenly stopped dead in her tracks, would not budge at all. I thought it was strange but continued walking downstairs thinking she would follow me. A few moments after I walked away she started meowing loudly and I noticed she'd done a small wee (not enough to constitute a full wee but definitely more than if she had "leaked"). She was very vocal, also purring very loudly and wanting a lot of fuss off me. I don't understand this at all. Even while she was recovering she never had any accidents in corners or anything, let alone stopping dead in the middle of the floor to wee. She has never leaked and as I said just now, I don't think she leaked in this instance because A: the wee was too big and B: she stopped like she knew what she was doing/what was happening, though she did not try to scratch over it like she would normally do. There has been one incident before where she was desperate to go to the toilet, and when I carried her she weed down me. I presumed this was because my arms or something were putting too much pressure on her full bladder. Does anyone know what this means? The healing process won't have just reversed, would it? I understand that full nerve damage healing can take up to 6 months, could this be part of it healing further? Would really appreciate any advice or speculations. Thanks guys!
