Brain Damaged Cat - pacing and peeing 4 years later

Thanks for reaching out with your concern. It sounds like you're dealing with a challenging situation, and I'm here to help. A cat with known brain damage exhibiting behaviors like pacing and inappropriate urination can indeed be distressing.



These behaviors may stem from changes in how your cat’s brain processes signals. Pacing can be a sign of anxiety, disorientation, or even boredom. Meanwhile, inappropriate urination might indicate an inability to remember proper litter box habits or could be a sign of stress.



At home, try to create a calming environment. Soft music and pheromone diffusers might help ease anxiety. Ensure your cat has a consistent routine and plenty of enrichment, like toys and scratching posts, to keep its mind engaged.



Watch for signs of distress or discomfort, such as vocalizing more than usual, hiding, or changes in appetite, as these could indicate that something more serious is happening. Also, if you notice any new neurological symptoms, like seizures or increased confusion, it’s important to seek veterinary care.



It might be helpful to book a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet. They can offer you tailored advice based on your cat's full medical history and current situation.
