RE: My Cat Keeps Peeing on the Floor

My cat is 5 yrs old and has recently started wetting in doors, its mainly when he is sleeping. He also does it when he is on our laps. He has been neutered, and he has had a course of antibiotics. This stopped him for a while, but it has started again.

RE: My Cat Keeps Peeing on the Floor

We have a cat that keeps peeing on the floor. He only poops in the litter box. We clean the box when it gets too dirty and yet he still pees on the floor. He is a healthy cat too. Is there something that we can do to stop him from peeing on the floor.

RE: My Cat Keeps Peeing on the Floor

I rescue cats from friends that want to send them to the humane society, and I've isolated the two newest ones to my room. But I have recently let them out with the four other cats, and they have now picked up a habit of peeing by the front door, in front of the stove, and by the big litter pan (I have 3 pans). I've tried store bought items but they don't work, and my parents who live with me are starting to get annoyed at my cats. They are telling me to choose between them and the cats, but I don't want to be rid of either.

My cat keeps peeing on the wooden floor near my dogs' beds. I have treated the area repeatedly with Nature's Miracle with no positive results. HELP!

RE: My Cat Keeps Peeing on the Floor

i have a tomcat that is just under a year old. he keeps peeing on the area rug, which i have replaced numerous times, even when i clean his mess he goes right back and does it again. i read alot of the suggestions here and plan to try ALL of them, also plan to try one i was just recently told about, apparently cats do not like the smell of lemon, and i was told to spray lemon juice on the floor...dont know how well thats goin to work, kind of have my doubts on that, but that is what my next step is today ALONG with the puppy pads and food bowl trick..IF my little lemon trick works i will post it and let you all know.. My main concern on that is.. will the acid in it stain my rug ? well then again if it works i guess a dis-colored rug is WAY better than a cat urine smelling one. ANY other suggestions WOULD BE HELPFUL as well

Editor's Note: You say he's a Tomcat so I'm assuming that he is not neutered. If that is the case, neutering often helps with this because he's marking his territory.

Get the kitty to the Vet asap. It is probably a medical condition which needs treatment.

I do not buy "scented" litter .... I don't want that going into their faces.

Let us know what the Doctor says!

Try another brand of litter. Cats are particular about that, one of mine is very fussy about that. Also if there's been urine on the floor once it is very hard to remove the smell. Even though it may smell clean to you, the cat can smell it because their sense of smell is 50X greater than ours. Don't use bleach it's ammonia type smell is reminiscent of the ammonia smell in cat urine and may encourage them to pee there again. Go to a pet supply store for a product designed to remove urine odors. If non of these seem to be a factor your car may have a urinary problem or some sort, such as an infection. If you see your cat struggle to urinate it may have a more serious condition and you'll need to get to the vet pronto.

I had the same problem. I cleaned the area well that he had peed on and then I put his cat food bowls right on top of that area for several weeks. Cats will not mess around their food dishes. I then changed to a different cat litter and that took care of my problem. My cat will not use the litter when it gets too messy or too wet, so keep the litter box cleaned out. Best to you!

RE: My Cat Keeps Peeing on the Floor

I have had the same problem with my cat. First you need to rule out a Urinary tract infection, the vet will get a urine sample and test it. If that is it they can give her medicine for that. If that isn't it, be sure to clean the area where she has urinated with a product that will eliminate the urine smell (there are lots out there, I have not found one better than the other). She may also not like the particular litter you are using. You can try other types. Nothing stopped my cat from doing it, he just kind of stopped on his own. I used puppy pads in the area where he would pee which was right in front of the litter box, and he used those for several months until he decided to use the box again. Good luck!
