Hi Melanie, I recommend that you call and talk with your local veterinarian about this question. This type of behavior can be from an underlying medical issue like a urinary tract infection or a physical issue that is causing pain if she squats. However, this could also be primarily a behavior issue. Your vet knows her medical history and can let you know if she needs to be examined again to rule out any underlying medical or physical causes. If there is an underlying cause, then addressing that issue will usually resolve the behavior. If this is primarily a behavior issue, your vet can work with you on a behavior modification plan that is specific to your cat and her environment.
