Thank you for the feedback. I took her to the vet and she had a Upper Respitory Infection. She has had medicine and is using the litter box on a constant basis now.

I found that when my kitties are not well they need a little extra help. I usually pick up and and place the cat on the litter tray and invariably they use it especially if I give the litter a bit of a scratch to stimulate them to use it. It's virtually treating them like a baby until they are well. I do this at regular intervals .

Urinary Tract infections are a common cause of a cat peeing all over the house. Often a cat will inappropriately urinate because of a medical condition. If you have problems with a cat not using his litter box please get him or her checked by a vet. Your cat may not like the brand of litter you have chosen Often cats don't like the same nice smelling kitty litter that we might like. Avoid scented kitty litter. The location of the litter box is not to your cats liking. Your Cat may be stressed I use vinegar to rid the pee smell. Cats hate the smell.

Help with my male cat I have had him since he was a baby he is now 3 years old been fixed about a year ago I moved about a month ago.

Male 8 year old cat peeing everywhere but the litter box. He has been fixed, and is a single cat.

My cat is three years old and just started a new habit now. He likes to poop next to the litter box instead of inside it.

I would appreciate your advice about how to make my old cat stop peeing on the floor. She used to use her litter tray, but stopped using it ever since we brought a new cat.

I have an adult 10 year old cat. We got 2 kittens in September. They are getting alone pretty well. The older cat has always been a loner.

I have two male cats who are litter mates. They are now about a year old and since we got them when they were around 4 months, they have used the little box without any problems.
