Pee Problems
| Wed, 10-13-2004 - 10:25am |
I have 5 cats and one of them Gracie seems to have a problem with not using the litter box. Instead she urinates on the furniture the floor and kitchen counters. I have 2 litter boxes in my home in two diffrent locations. Since I am a full time student the only chance I have of scooping is in the morning before I leave and in the afternoon when I get home and again before I go to bed at night. Night however, seems to be the time when she feels the need to pee in every spot but the litter box and when I get up in the morning I alwyas have a surprise waiting for me in the Kitchen on the counters and have to clean it up with bleach or amonia. I change both litter boxes at the end of every week so I don't know what the problem is.
Any suggestions?

Hi Pinkpanther21.
I have had Grayson for almost 10 years. He has been fixed for about 9 years and has really put on the pounds. He is half siamese and half bermese. I can understand a male cat howling and meowing all the time when he isn't fixed but with Grayson it's chronic. I'm not sure why he does it and when I sent him back to the vet nothing was found. I'm not sure if it's because I've spolied him to the point where he wants me to stay at home instead of leaving or if he is just an overly-affectionate cat who wants a lot of lovin. It's weird however, that I have noticed that he never really plays with the other cats but everytime I leave him to play with his stuffed toy his fine. There's no howling or meowing at all. I love all of my cats but I'm stuck in the mud.
Any advice on these situations would be greatly welcomed! Thanks
I find it difficult to understand how your vet can determine that Gracie does not have a urinary tract infection if he/she has not
You still need to get the vet a pee sample. Testing it
however, i assume gracie is not the newest addition to you family. how new is the newest cat? if it was within the last year(of when her problems began), the new member is probably the problem. female cats are very picky.
another suggestion, if she is peeing in plants, cover the dirt with plastic or aluminum foil cats dont like that stuff..
also i would recommend a trip to the vet, she could have a medical problem like a urinary tract infection.
