scratching??


right dont know if anyone elses cats do this but ive not seen this before, boy cat will walk around the house scratching the floor like he is trying to cover up his toilet mess, he try to cover up cups of tea any bits of food that falls on the floor, sometimes there is nothing there!!

has he got OCD? lol

i am a little worried as ive not really seen this behaviour before.

Re: scratching??


hmm, not sure tbh. I know my Broxi does this from time to time, but usually it's just after he has eaten. Maybe someone else knows!

Re: scratching??


Thats strange.. Leos tray is in bathroom & will sometimes try & scoop up the bath but never done it anywhere other than that ?

Maybe he does have OCD & is a clean freak like me !!!

Re: scratching??


I've never seen that behavior; strange!? You might ask the vet the next time you're there ......although it might just be an odd quirk of his..
