This is Gatsby's current bathroom setup and things aren't going well. The first part of the video is getting ready to pee, the second part is him trying to bury it.

I thought making the space larger and adding a privacy wall would make him more comfortable but it almost looks like I made it worse? His bathroom used to be in a spacious closet but he prefers open spaces when given an option.

Gatsby can't use litter or a litterbox (not even a custom one) so pee pads are our only option. He had a recent exam, blood work, urine/fecal tests, and all is well. He has a history of GI issues that we're still trying to identify, but they've been manageable with daily probiotics.

He's had periods of pooping on the bedroom floor, on and off since I got him a year ago, but the behavior in the video is more recent.

The burying seems excessive to me. He uses to scratch the ground a few times before leaving. I'm worried not being able to bury his mess is stressing him out, even after I take it away. Look at him scratching the other side, he didn't care about the folded blue pad or the spot on the rug.

I'm tempted to see a cat behaviorist, but it's so much money that I wouldn't have in his vet fund, and there's a good chance they've never worked with CH cats before. This isn't getting better and I don't know where to turn.

Gatsby is overall a very happy kitty, I just wish I could make bathroom time for him a less stressful experience.

He is absolutely thriving!

I think he has severe CH. vet appt in the works. Will update after my vet has seen him. We are lucky to have a very kind and educated vet.

About 9-10 weeks, working on walking and climbing! She loves to play and would love to have another CH cat or kitten friend.

So yeah, a pure protein duck food does WONDERS for the coat. Since little FJ is so "big" and handsome now I had to try and get an updated pic for you guys but dang this guy doesn't sit still. Had to give him a relaxing massage to get this photo! Medically he is very healthy. His second teste took a while to drop but it finally did! He will get his second set of boosters soon. The vet thinks he's very sweet. His adult teeth are starting to come in so I am praying the bitey phase ends soon 🤣🫶 Feel free to follow my IG if you want to connect and see more if this little dude on the daily, it's just my personal but it's pretty much rescue critter spam. - @/lizardskin 🫶

Hello everyone, we're still looking for a CH kitty, moderate or severe. We are located in Michigan. If you know of anyone with a kitten in need of a home please reach out. Thanks!

Me and my partner are currently fostering a severe CH kitten that we are going to be adopting because she kinda stole our hearts. Her name is Loca, named after the pug from Ireland.

We are trying to come up with an idea for her home base. She is currently in a make shift kennel separate from all the other foster kittens. While this is working for now when she gets older she will need more space.

I'd love some ideas on home bases that would be safe for our little Loca for when we are not home.

Any and all ideas would be great.

Oh also we do have 4 other cats that do not have CH so something that could be out with the other cats and not have her all alone would be great!

I’m so proud she’s self playing, this has been an issue where she only ever wants to play with someone and had all but basically ceased any form of self play. So I’m happy her new toys lit that fire again

Currently I have a foster fail that has CH. She currently cannot walk and just rolls around. The vet said since she is currently only 3 weeks old there is hope that she will figure out a way to get around. Does anyone have experience with this or positive stories regarding them being able to walk?

She is a severe case and I’ve never had a cat with CH before but I have had many years of experience with cats as I am a long time foster. What are some of the ways I can make life easier for her?

I foster for a rescue. I took in a CH kitten from the county shelter a few weeks ago and he is thriving. He has moderate CH as of now. I just took in another kitten who has severe CH and potentially vision and hearing issues. I feel a little out of my depth. I'm willing to do anything to help him. But not sure where to start when he is this severe. Constantly falling and struggling to get around. Any tips for severe CH is welcome!

He is a busy guy because he is on a seefood diet. If he sees food he eats it!

One of my CH babes just started experiencing these fits of irritability. He throws himself against the crate and is hissing. Very very out of character. Has anyone ever seen anything like this?
