Cat Peeing In The Same Place

RE: Cat Peeing In The Same Place Post By Kristin (Guest Post) (07/23/2008) You can also put a sheet of aluminum foil on the floor in the spot. Cats don't like to pee on aluminum foil. It's shiny and noisy. Maybe her reflection in the foil would shame her into putting her pee in the box!

She runs up the stairs. I can almost hear her laughing at me while I'm cleaning it. I have tried everything yet she keeps doing it. I love her dearly but she is trying my patience!

Sometimes that's their way of telling you that it needs to be cleaned. Atleast that is for mine. Also previous house owner's with pets might let them go where they want and that causes a major problem. No matter what you do, urine will never dry and soaks straight through to the foundation and stains it there as well.

The vet told us that it may be that she is lonely, because the majority of the time when she does it, we are gone. His solution was to leave the TV or radio on when we leave so she has a sense of someone being there. We haven't tried it yet, but hopefully we will see results!

I tried vinegar and washing up liquid with disinfectant and nothing. It is depressing us, any help tips?

You could get her nails trim by a professional, they do such a good job that the nails are actually all round and the cat can't do any damage.

Actually often time soap makes it worst. (same for the bed). Now, once you have used the product, I would also put something on the actual spot she uses, either sticking paper (like the one used to cover books) or pepper, or something she likes to sleep on. Like paper (if the case) or a plastic bag. Anything to take her mind off of the fact that she/he pees there. But first and foremost you need to get a pee analysis from the vet, that will tell you if she/he has an infection, and yes, some cats with infection will pee in the same spot over and over again. For anyone's whose cat is using a place or something to do their claw, just cover that area with sticky paper, like I stated above, no cat will do their claws on this. It will look kind of weird for awhile but then it should be okay. There is also some kind of repellent product but I've never used them. If none of this works, try speaking to your vet, they might have good ideas. Let us know how this turns out. :) Neenoon Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cat peeing in the same place. Post by jess_admin (649) | (08/03/2007) Profile | Blog! | Contact My cat keeps peeing in the same place. She has always been a clean cat and has never done this before until recently. We have a dog too, but the cat is definately the boss. I am pregnant and i understand that cats/dogs have a sixth sense and can feel this... do you think this has anything to do with it? Comments most welcome. Rachel, UK Answers: RE: Cat peeing in the same place. Cats sometimes pee in places other than a litter box when they are not feeling well. Sometimes they are just being onery. By Boosie RE: Cat peeing in the same place. I HAVE A LOVELY WOODEN SCULPTURE ON MY FRONT PORCH. MY CAT HAS STARTED USING IT TO SHARPEN HER CLAWS. DOES ANYONE KNOW OF ANYTHING THAT I CAN DO TO PREVENT HER FROM RUINING MY SCULPTURE ? ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. TUEY (02/07/2005) By TUEY RE: Cat peeing in the same place. My cat was doing the samething. I took him to the Vet and he had a bladder infection and was constipated. The Vet put him on antibiotics and CatLax for the other problem. It really did the trick. I give him the CatLax (which is very inexpensive) 2-3 times a week for preventative purposes. (02/07/2005) By CatWoz RE: Cat peeing in the same place. Rachael, it could be a sign that the kitty has a health problem, please take her to the vet. Jennifer Northern Virginia USA (02/07/2005) By ILuvDobes RE: Cat peeing in the same place. Regardless of the reason, (or the sixth sense!), once the smell is there she will return to the same spot. You either have to remove the smell completely or make the spot so repellent she won't go back there. Enzyme type detergent may help remove traces of the urine or some sort of preparation from the vet is often mentioned by the US contributors. I feel if this was a health problem there would be more weeing indoors rather than the one spot, (but I'm not a vet!). Is she otherwise well? Can you pinpoint the time she first used the spot? Was she locked in? Was the litter tray dirty? If so its almost certainly behavioural rather than ill health. If behavioural you need to make this spot unattractive, firstly by removing as much smell as possible but, as their sense of smell is so sensitive, this may not work. The area can be made unattractive by sprinkling a bit of dried pepper there - her fine sense of smell will make her avoid the area before she actually 'gets a nose full' so to speak. Another method is to watch her until you catch her 'in the act' and then spray her with a short sharp burst from a water pistol. This won't hurt her but she will get a fright which she remembers when she goes near the spot again. You must do it at the exact time she is having a wee though so the connection is made. Regards Jo (02/07/2005) By Jo Bodey RE: Cat peeing in the same place. The water pistol will work for the cat scratching the sculpture too - and provide an alternative scratching post nearby. Regards Jo (02/07/2005) By Jo Bodey RE: Cat peeing in the same place. My cat does the same thing and there is nothing physically wrong with her. There is no way for me to see her when she to squirt her. I have cleaned the spot several times. She is an old cat in good health. She also is an indoor cat. She has damaged my carpet with her nails and urine. I don't know what to do. I want to re-carpet my condo but this cat is so distructive. I have had her for over 14 years and she is very affectionate. I will never take an another animal in my house to live! (08/20/2005) By Cabootee RE: Cat peeing in the same place. Just to mention cat has taken up residency on brand new futon. Blessed it 4 times now. Used spray n wash smells great cat likes it to,maybe the vet for a check or an exorcisms. Not sure generally not happy. By Cynthia RE: Cat peeing in the same place. I just got a kitten, she is an indoor cat. One morning she just peed on our bed in the morning. I had just taken her to the vet a couple days before. They said she is totally healthy. I keep cleaning her litter box almost everyday. She has never not used her litter box before. She keeps peeing in the same spot on the bed every morning at the same time everyday. Why does she keep peeing there? (07/25/2007) By Jennifer_00 Report Spam or Abuse
