Dirty filthy cat pissing in corners of my house

[Fettuccinecarbonara]

She’s a Siamese. I got her in February when she was a kitten. Was toilet trained. Had the odd poo on my bed but once I’d worked out why (dog was harassing her whilst she pooed) we moved the litter tray to where the dog can’t go, and she started using it again.

Last month she started weeing in my daughter’s bedroom

She’s now progressed to pissing in every corner of mine.

She only uses the litter tray to poo in.

My house STINKS.

Have had a vet check, she’s fine. Vet says ‘Siamese are known for this’

But how do I stop her? I LOVE this cat. She sleeps curled up in my arms all night. But when my house stinks of cat piss, I’d gladly use her as a mop (lighthearted: I don’t)

Can you help me?

I feel very sorry for this poor cat. I’m not a vet but as an experienced cat owner for decades I support what Veterinari is saying. I think you’re being incredibly selfish OP.

I think that you can redo the introduction process over though if it hasn't worked first time? I don't think all is lost. There is loads of info about this online. There is a really good USA website all about cats I used to look at, can't remember what it was called now, but you can deff start process again

DTwatCats #1 has decided that the theory of n+1 is total bollocks.

He doesn't want one of the other [insert resource here] - he wants whatever TwatCat #2 has.

It's like having a pair of grumpy toddlers in here sometimes. Her more so than him, as she lets him know exactly what she thinks of him being an annoying little git.

But they eat together without battles - she just walks around him to eat from his bowl - they'll interchange positions on the settee and bed - and there is absolutely no crapping in unauthorised locations.

If another source of hassle were introduced, though, such as a dog, or being confined to barracks/separate floors, I think they'd be far worse when they did encounter one another. They have to largely get along if they want to be fed, get treats or be fussed/brushed, as I do just gently separate them when they get dickish tendencies - if she has a go at him equally as when he gets all big Billy no-bollocks on her, the offender gets gently deposited off the settee, for example.

Have you considered that it could be a plan to keep the dog out of the way and let them associate one another with treats/food, for example? At the moment you have two only cats who have a stranger lurking in the background, rather than two cats who don't necessarily get on, but know each other's foibles and body language.

Provide escape routes (both up and across and away underneath things), break out the Dreamies or bits of chicken/cold sausages/balls of minced beef and see whether they still hate one another when they're being pinged to opposite sides of the room.

We have a very high strung, nervous cat. Used to be feral. We tried absolutely everything, and he marked on everything in return. The more uptight i got, the more he picked up on it, and the worse it got.

First - please get you cat checked at the vet.

By the sound of it, you need to separate your dog and cat and start all over again. Your dog must respect the cat and you have to set some boundaries.

Vets here (in Scandinavia) are very opposed to treating cats with anti depressants (they treat dogs). But we finally tracked down one, and with a lot of begging and stories of our misery, she finally gave him ads. It worked fantastically, it doesn't on all but is worth a try.

That said you can do a lot yourself, making the cat feel at ease.

Best of luck.

She's telling you she isn't happy. Doesn't sound a great environment with an existing dog and a cat. Have you got hug shelves /really high escape areas?

I thought you’d like a positive update.

Littlecat wanted the lid off her litter tray.

That was all. The weeing/soiling has stopped now!

I’ve got feliway, and cystease, and calm food, and a new (higher) cat tower, and two more (untouched) litter trays - and a large vets bill.

Thank you for your help.

Good news op. This thread amused me as your cats sound well treated and some think they should be treated better than my kids (I.e. a new one arrives and the existing one not happy, send the new one back haha).
