Cat pee rain

My old boy has excelled himself. He's been with us 14 years. So is probably around 15 now as we rescued him and his brother (who is no longer with us) when they were young.

In that time he's done all sorts of stupid stuff and needed various vet visits and stern talking's to. The talkings to have always been resolved with head bumps and cuddles.

Last night the little rotter opened the door to the room we're renovating. He went under the floor boards. Then wee'd, copiously. I may first I thought a pipe had broke. But no, the water raining into the living room was actually cat piss.

You wouldn't think he has his own, but nicely maintained, litter tray, and access outside, would you.

It's a bloody good job I love him.

Serious note though...worth a. Is it to the vet? He's peed in a couple of random places lately and it's not like him.

Is he unsettled by the renovation work? Even if he's kept out of the way.

We had a cat that peed in random places all the time and there was nothing wrong with him. If there weren’t any random places he would pee outside but lift a floorboard or leave the loft open and he went a peed. He was a lovely cat though so we put up with it.

Definitely worth a visit to the vet to rule out any physical problems.

He may have got frightened once he’d got under the floor boards and literally pissed himself. I think I would wait for a day or so and see if he continues to pee a lot

He needs a vet check in case it's a UTI - they can be caused by stress and I suspect noisy renovations and being closed out of rooms is very stressful for an older cat.

He's not scared of the noise. He spends most of his life happily asleep snuggled into my sons teddies hiding in plain sight. The only thing he runs from is the hairdryer.

The other half of his life is spent stalking his property boundary murdering any small animals that come into his path.

He actively comes to investigate building work and rubs up against you when you're trying to use sharp tools 🤣

UTI is not something I considered. I'll give the vet a ring and have a chat. Thank you. Although I am prepared for the possibility he's just being a bit of a knob!

UTI's in male cats can be really serious - if he keeps urinating inappropriately I'd want him seen sooner rather than later.

Thanks. 14 years of car ownership and I still get something new! I'll get him checked over. Couldn't get in yesterday
