Cat urinating problems
We've had our cat since she was a kitten, and she always used the litter properly. Recently in the past year she has been urinating all over the house. We ended up replacing a carpeted room with hard wood floors, and that stopped the problem for a few months, but now she is back at it again in another room, and spot areas of the house. She has been to a vet, and they did an analysis of her urine. They say she is fine. How can we stop this? We clean up her spots with deodorizing spray, but she continues this. She always deficates in the box. We do have another cat, so we have 2 litter boxes. We've tried everything the vets have said, but nothing works. New box without a cover, unscented litter, tin foil in spots. Should we lock her in the bathroom with the litter for awhile? Should we get her on medication? I've read up on this, so I know the common diagnosis, like a urinary tract infection. This isn't physcial, it's all in her head? My parents are about to give her up in a week, but then she'll probably continue this and someone will put her asleep. Can you please suggest something? Thank you |
