My boyfriend and I purchased a Manx kitten on 11-13-04. Her name is Jezabelle and she was born on 8-29-04. She had her first deworming, distemper and flea treatment the day we purchased her. We brought Jez to her first vet appointment on . The vet said she was "A OK" and gave her the rest of the deworming medication for her. Anyway...everything has been great with Jez! She's a prefectly happy kitten! Very playful and affectionate! A normal kitty. But, on the first day we brought her home, she urinated in her sleep when she took her first nap. We asked the vet about it and her said it's probably jsut her getting used to a ne environment. Since then, she still urinates in her sleep and it jsut seems to be getting worse. Sometimes it's jsut a little amount about the size of a quarter, and other times it's a whole big wet spot! It's not just in one place either. She does this whereever she happens to lay down and fall asleep. Could even be on my lap!! Eveerything except for this seems normal about her though. She uses the little box normally to urinate and deficate. I'm going to take her to the vet in 2 weeks when I am home form college. Is there anything you think it could be? I don't understand at all and it's definitely a hassle! OOPS....SHE JUST DID IT WHILE SLEEPING ON MY LAP AS I'M TYPING RIGHT NOW!!!! Please help and thanks for your time!!!!

Manx Kitty Urinating In Her Sleep!
Replies (1)
Hopefully the vet exam will uncover exactly what is wrong. Urinating while sleeping just isn't normal behavior!
There is a sad fact about Manx cats that often they lack control over their bowels, although I've never heard of one with a lack of urinary control. You might have to consider some sort of "kitty diapers" for her if this keeps up.
Best wishes. I do hope the vet can help - please don't hesitate to get a feline specialist if you can't get the answers you need.
