My (Her) Cat Pees EVERYWHERE.

[Hosnon]

He apparently gets pissed at us (or just one of us) and pisses on whatever is available (e.g., clothes, linens, bathmats).

He's about to be a 100% outside cat...

I hate to do that but it's gone that far. Any suggestions?

1. pee on it?

[Hosnon]

3. Yes...that has been threatened...

2. Take him to the vet

There may be something physically wrong, i.e. Feline Urethritis, or something else.

4. Thanks...but I honestly think it is a mental thing. This cat is either

Karl Rove's feline brother or so stupid he's just simply beaten me...ha!

8. Even if it is a mental thing the vet might be able to help you get to the bottom of it.

5. ehm, if this is a serious question.....

more information please.

Why do you think the cat would be 'pissed' at you? You don't pay it enough/any attention. It doesn't like its litter/litter box placement? A cat is a sentient being; it's not all about 'you' perhaps? :shrug:

11. I agree it's not all about me.

But, to be honest, it's mostly about me and my wife. The cat is a cat. And its actions are starting to seriously cause problems. Before we got married, my wife lived with her step-sister and was told the cat had to go (same problem).

I'm not sure why the cat would be pissed...I'm not a cat person (hence this thread).

6. I second the vet...

It could be a physical problem. If the vet rules that out, s/he may have some good suggestions for you.

Did you or she just move in? Maybe the kitty is upset about the change.

9. We got married last summer.

I hope the problem is physical.

10. Another vote for the vet...

One of my cats was doing that, too, but it turned out she had a urinary problem and a course of medication fixed her right up.

12. Hmm...glad I asked:)

13. My cat did that a couple of years ago.

She peed in our bed.

She is used to quiet around here. Only my husband, the dog and I are around. One of my daughters came to live at home for a couple of months. She left, and her sister came around with lots of friends. Then my son did the same thing.

She let us know that there had been too many people.

She peed in my son's bed one time, too. His cat was injured, and we looked after it for awhile until he could come to get it. The vet here is just as good, but charges less than the vets in the suburbs. Our cat hated having another cat in her house.

It could be a physical problem. Or you could be doing something to piss off the cat. Good luck, and try the vet first. Even if it is behavioral, most vets understand cat behavior.

14. Is he neutered? If not, he's marking territory. That's easily fixed--

by getting him fixed. If he is neutered, it's almost certainly a physical problem, probably a bladder infection, early kidney disease, or lower urinary tract disease. If it's chronic renal failure or flutd, he may be VERY ill, and you need to get him to a vet NOW, not just to stop the spraying, but to save his life.

It is almost certainly not because he's angry with you. Cats, unlike dogs, are meticulously clean animals. They use litter boxes so well because they'd rather have one place that is smelly and unpleasant than a whole stinky living area. And even then, they'll hold their urine as long as possible if the litter box isn't clean. This is not a species that expresses emotions by peeing around the house.

My Leo sprayed at two times--when he was first neutered and newly living in the house, because he still had male hormones and was marking territory; then a few years later, when he had a urinary infection that was the beginning of lower urinary tract disease. And yes, he peed on my bed, twice. He now gets a special diet for the lutd, and occasional urinalyses to check for blockages and infection...and he hasn't sprayed in almost two years.

You really need to get your cat to a vet. First thing tomorrow.
