Ok, we've had tons of tests done twice! Urine, diabetes, thyroid, inflamation in the bowels....etc.We have not yet had an ultrasound or xray as they are extremely EXPENSIVE and we have already spent 400$
Here are the symptoms:
~Pees and poops in no particular area of the house.
~when she is about to go her ears flip back and she gets a look that she is going to go.
~She begins to run, stops and pees then keeps running and poops!
~Her poop is very hard with a mucussy film.
~If we put her in the bathroom, she will make an effort to pee in the litter box and go half in and half out or sometimes not in it at all
~when she's in the bathroom we can hear her banging into things while running.
~our vet said she thinks it's behavioural but we think she's in pain.
PLEASE HELP AS PEOPLE IN OUR HOUSE ARE GETTING FED UP!!!!!

Something is definitely wrong with this cat - the hard, mucusy stools are an indicator as well as the odd behavior. She is more likely in pain and perhaps tries to avoid using the litterbox or even eliminating at all.
You should find another vet - perhaps a feline specialist or a gastro specialist. Although your vet may be very competant, s/he may not have experienced this sort of thing before and just may not be able to fully diagnose and treat the problem.
Best wishes to you and the cat.

I definately agree that this cat is in pain, hence trying to avoid going at all. Not normal, not good.
It's not the cat's fault that your vet cannot diagnose the problem. Perhaps giving Flaxatone might help until you can get another opinion and take a stool sample in. Possibly crate the cat for a day or so and monitor her behavior while crated so that you can describe to the new vet what she does when confined next to a litterbox as well.
Give the cat a chance because she is obviously trying to tell you soemthing is wrong.
Good Luck!
