My Cat Keeps Peeing on the Floor

RE: My Cat Keeps Peeing on the Floor Post By Renee (Guest Post) (05/18/2008) 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!

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.

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!

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 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!

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! Report Spam or Abuse
