To all of you cat lovers...vets....or whatever....I need help!!

I have a cat who is peeing on the carpet......she did this like 4 months ago.....and then she stopped and now she is doing it again...I don't know what her problem is...but it HAS to stop!!!!

Any ideas of what to do to make the madness end???

Lol jiminy!

Good luck with that Erin! I have a cat that insists on having a perfectly clean litter box... if it isnt - he poops on the floor!
The vet says it is a dominance thing but I think it is just that he needs a swift kick in the a** to set him straight! ;D
Only suggestion I can offer: because the cat pee leaves a scent that the cat will continously go to - go buy some Resolve Pet Stain & Odor. It works.....

Good luck

if it's a male cat it's marking it's territory,  a friend had her cat neutered and it stopped

well it's a female...she's fixed and everything....she's not very old...a few years....we got her a year ago..she was fine...then I took one litter box away and she started peeing on the carpet....so I put it back...she's been good ever since...until tonight.....I hear a "scratch scratch scratch" sound coming from across the room....I look over and witness her using my carpet as a litterbox.....she knew she did wrong...she's been hiding ever since.....if I get my hands on her...her arse is grass!

No prob Erin... the other thing to look into... Check the food you are feeding her and make sure there is minimal phosphorus and magnesium. These can cause crystal type things in cat's bladders and urinary tracts (mostly in males but I have come across a few females) Sometimes these crystals can cause a cat to either have no control over their urination or it will stop them from peeing at all! If she suddenly has to pee real bad but doesnt think she can make it to the litter - she will go to the same spot she last "accidentally" soiled - making you think she is just being lazy or stubborn

Usually when a cat pees somewhere they aren't supposed to is their way of telling you something is wrong. I had a cat who used to do that whenever she had a bladder infection (which was quite frenquently  ::)). My advice is to take her to the vet. There may be a medical problem for this. Unfortunately, once cat urine is imbedding in a carpet it is almost impossible to remove the aroma. And once that aroma is there, cats will have a tendicy of thinking because it was used once before, it can be used again-especially if something is wrong. Deep cleaning may help-like with those machines you can rent from supermarkets. Also, cats don't like citrus so you may want to use some kind of lemon or orange scented cleaner on it. But again, TAKE HER TO THE VET. It may be something serious.

thanks cat!!!



Erin :)

Give the precious to me.  :)

Have you considered floorboards not carpets for the boards are easier to wipe clean, than having to lather on hoover the carpets?

She could do that....


or.



Just give the lovely to me...


I love Anna more than she does


She is completely pink and white.


how precious!




~Beth

I hope you're aware that beings you are away for the weekend, and leaving Anna and the carpet all by themselves.....that she is probably squating as I type this.


Just a friendly reminder. :)



Now give the lovely to me.




~Beth

Get a dog!  ;D

Get a Budgie!

Well, just don't turn to stone if you do. ;)

How about "kitty diapers"?  :D





Cat

Yeah . . . Kill it.  ;D 


I'm joking Erin.  ;)

Idea?

When you put the cat out at night, sort of, do not open the door in the morning.

Because she is declawed and Erin doesn't want to put her outside, because she has never been outside before. She hasn't peed on the floor for a while now, so maybe she is getting the hint that Erin means business.  ;)

You mean to say the cat has finally got the message?

Is it house-trained?

well guys...


the cat has not been peeing on the carpets (knock on wood) in a few weeks........I hope she is over her little problem.....no..I would never put her outside...she is an indoor cat..as is my other one.


Erin :)

I suggest you lay newspapers on the floors  :D

Well...I am back. :-\\  Ok...here's a new problem..and I think it has to do with our Christmas decorations or something because this has not started until after we decorated. My same cat from before...is now puking all over the house...and this morning...she peed right in front of the door instead of in her litterbox. :-\\  I know I should take her to the vet, but I cannot afford that right now...I can't even afford to take myself to the doctors (no insurance), let alone my cat.


Any hints on how to keep them away from the tree, etc?
