My cat poops and pees where he sleeps. Is this a serious health issue?

Question

My cat poops and pees right where he is laying, he will lay in it unless I pick him up. How can I help him? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered

Andrea M. Brodie, DVM · Accepted Answer

That is not normal. for a cat to lie in his own eliminations, there must be a serious problem. I suggest you clean him up and take him to a vet or pet ER right away. If you cannot do this today, then at least put some cat litter underneath him so that the urine gets absorbed. Take him ASAP, please.
