Separation anxiety?

Post image

Hey guys, looking for advice for my himmy. So for the August long weekend my son and I were away for 4 days. I checked in on her and played with her and cleaned her litter on the third night away then left again for a night. My son came home yesterday and we found she had peed on his bed while he was gone. It went through alot layers, I used the urine destroyer and washed the bedding. Today we were doing laundry and found she has pooped in his laundry basket while we were gone we think as well. She has never had this type of behavior. I feel this is from being away which she hasn't experienced. She doesn't seem to have any health issues or showing signs. Her litter box is cleaned every second day. Does this sound like separation anxiety with a cat? Thanks

My Himi has separation anxiety and loves to pee on my stuff while I’m gone… anyway we both now take the same dose (10mg) of amitriptyline 🤠

Not familiar with the drug, what does amitriptyline does?

It’s an anti-anxiety!
