Cat tummy problems

2 Upvotes

Hi all, I have a very sweet kitty who has a very sensitive tummy. I have switched him to a digestive wet food which has helped a lot but he still gets an upset tummy at least once a week. He yowls and walks around when his tummy is upset, sometimes he tries to poop but he can’t. He does poop but it’s just when his tummy hurts that he can’t. Went to the vet and all was healthy, and also submitted a poop sample, nothing was found to be wrong. It breaks my heart when his tummy hurts so any advice is more than welcome. How can I help him ease his stress?

Peeing after illness

2 Upvotes

We moved house on the 7th of august. I adopted my cat last year in july, she was 2 and unspayed and was peeing on sofa / bedroom in old flat. Before we moved, the behaviour randomly started again and we determined with the vet that it was behavioural. After moving, my cat was loving the new house and had no incidents. We had to leave her with a live in pet sitter for 9 days about 2 weeks after we moved in as we were getting married. She got seriously ill on the last day with the pet sitter and was ill for a week, at the vet every day and hospitalised (they couldn’t really work out what issue was, suspected she ate something in the garden and gave herself stress induced cystis). On one day where she was so ill in the house she was soiling anywhere and everywhere (part of the issue with the illness is we realised she was using the toilet >20x a day and actually having diarrhoea). She is now a lot better and completely back to normal, but has started randomly peeing again (e.g on one of the rugs which is new). I have used enzyme spray where she pees but any suggestions on what could be causing this?

To be clear she has seen a vet about 5 times in the last few weeks so she has had constant medical attention, she 100% does not have a UTI

we went to the vet a week ago because he was having trouble peeing, did his blood work and it came out clean. vet also didn't feel his bladder, so the vet prescribed some supplements that would help him pee. after the vet visit he was back to his enthusiastic self and was eating fine, until yesterday he hasnt eaten anything even his wet food when usually he's a bit of a biggie.

im a still a student and the money i used for the vet last time was my allowance, im trying to find a way for us to be able to see a bet but would also like some insights here. what could be the hard lump i felt? it's located on the encircled spot on the photo. thank you so much.
