🙀 Litter Box Issues in Cats - a Surprising Cause.
Spaying and neutering in cats can create problems that may lead to litter box issues.
Abdominal adhesions may result from these surgeries. Abdominal adhesions, can be very uncomfortable, even painful. While most cats seem to adjust, some find the pain and discomfort too difficult to live with either early on or at a later time in their lives.
Melissa, shortly after spaying.
About a week after Melissa was spayed at 8 months of age, she started walking up to the litter box and urinate next to it, as if climbing into the box with a full bladder was too much for her to do.
A body scan revealed abdominal adhesions which I was able to release energetically. As soon as they were released, she resumed normal litter box usage.
Non-litter box usage is a cry for help!
---------- ADHESIONS EXPLAINED ----------
Adhesions are bands of scar-like tissue that form inside the body after surgery. The bands form between two or more organs or between organs and the abdominal wall. Normally, the surfaces of organs and the abdominal wall in a human or an animal do not stick to each other when moving, but adhesions do stick, which can result in a variety of symptoms, including pain.
Both female and male cats can develop adhesions.
It may seem obvious why a female cat might have abdominal adhesions after spaying. But what about male cats? Surely removing testicles, which are external to the body, wouldn't cause adhesions - or could they?
While I have sometimes found adhesions in a male cat after a "normal" neutering, neutering that requires going inside the male cat's body is more likely to result in this situation.
Energy Healing Released a Male Cat's Abdominal Adhesions
I first learned about this issue from my Guides some years ago when contacted by Joe (name changed for privacy) with a 1 year old male cat who suddenly refused to use the litter box to urinate. The vet had already eliminated urinary tract infection as the problem. A friend of Joe's suggested he call me.
In an Animal Communication session, while speaking telepathically with the cat and doing a body scan, I discovered adhesions in his abdominal area only on one side. I asked Joe, "Had both testicles descended before neutering?"
Joe's answer: "No. The vet had to search inside him to find the 2nd one."
In an Energy Healing for Animals session, my healing teams showed me how to energetically release the adhesions.
Joe contacted me a few days later, totally thrilled because his cat was using the litter box again.
Spaying and neutering very young kittens.
Spaying and neutering very young kittens is common today because rescue organizations and veterinarians push for it.
It is unknown whether abdominal adhesions are more common when very young kittens have very early spay/neuter surgeries.
Still, this is something to keep in mind when you adopt a young kitten from a rescue organization that is doing early spaying and neutering. If your kitten was altered before puberty and starts having litter box issues, adhesions could be part of the problem.
