I’m in utter despair over this as it’s been going on for several months now. I have two cats, one very shy and one confident. I’ve worked out it’s the shy one urinating all over my house.
It started on beds so we now have to keep bedroom doors shut. My poor kids are always being shouted at to shut their doors! Then she started spraying up the doors, including my front door at times.
There’s a spot in my bedroom that she sprays. I’ve used Biotex and Urine Off spray. I’ve plugged a Feliway in. I put pet remedy on a tissue on the spot and she pee’d on the tissue! I now have a litter tray there. This worked for a few days but today she has sprayed the wall next to the tray. I also now realise she seems to have been spraying the back wall inside the litter tray.
The vet says no illness. I’ve ysed Cystease in case it’s cystitis. I’ve used a whole bottle with no change in behaviour. Zylkene didn’t work either.
She also leaves puddles on my tiled bathroom floor. Has wee’d on clothes left on the floor.
I’m at a complete loss now. My husband wants her gone. He says our house stinks. I clean it but you still smell it, or you smell the cleaners which don’t smell nice either. Feliway always smells.
Rehoming isn’t an option in case anyone suggests it. Nobody would want this cat. She hides from people ( except me, my husband and kids and she doesn’t like the kids much) and urinates in the house. I do think she might be happier somewhere quieter and without my other cat around. I couldn’t let her go unless it was somewhere I could see her and be sure she was looked after. This home doesn’t exist in reality. So I have to find a solution to the spraying somehow.
Has anybody successfully stopped this kind of soiling in their cat?
