After a house move in august, we finally had our two cats (6 & 7) settled, cat flap acquainted and in and out during the day like bl**dy yo-yo’s. They’ve had a couple of run ins with neighbouring cats, been scared, but then got over it and are now a-okay with their new digs.
Then one day we had a little wee accident in one of our spare bedrooms early morning (my boyfriend is up at 05.30 for work). We didn’t think much of it and both cats were in and out for the rest of the day from when I get up around 8am.
Then this morning, the culprit was scratching on the spare bedroom door (which has remained closed since - why is cat pee such a bugger to clean!?) and was visibly running around looking for somewhere to toilet.
Eventually I donned the dressing gown and tempted them both out into the cold, dark morning with dreamies. At which point, she had a rather large ‘toilet’ in our abandoned veg patch.
So what do I do? Is this a potential medical issues (we’re due at the vets in half term), or lazy cats not wanting to go out into the cold/dark. Do I give in and get a litter tray (which I really don’t want to do, now they’re going out during the day) or try feliway!?
Any advice very much appreciated!!!
