cats and comms

Does anyone have any tips on how to get a cat to stop peeing on the floor? She uses her litter box for her other business but for some reason she keeps on peeing on the floor and we don't get it. :/

I've been givin' the reigns to post over at j2_daily which has been on hiatus for a long while now. I'm going to try and keep it active it may not be daily but at least bi-weekly. I hope. So, with that and dailyjsquared there should be a lot of The Boys in our lives. They should do something new so that we'll have shiny new pics to post.

It's possible that it's some kind of message that "hey, I'm sick" - I had a cat that peed all over the house for months and months and it turned out he had enormous bladder stones, but he had no other way to tell us he was sick. Took him to the vet and they removed the stones and he stopped peeing outside the litter box.

It's also possible that it's emotional. Cats are VERY neurotic. One suggestion I've had is that if there's a particular place she keeps peeing on, put some of her food near that spot. They are not likely to pee on or near their food. And as someone else said, once they mark a spot, if they smell urine on that area, they'll keep peeing there. So if you can get the smell out, they no longer associate it with urinating and marking, etc.

Good luck with it!

Hopefully she's not sick. I know I've seen the one cat pee (and she peed near her food and almost on top of her water - so I don't think moving it will help :( ) But we're not sure if it's just the one cat or both.
