She's not my daughter's cat but my son's. She eliminates her bowels in the litter box but not urine. I don't understand

She's my son's cat but follows my daughter around because usually she's the main person that plays with her. Oh, and this might be silly but my daughter just recently started her mensies, and it started after that

She has been fixed, and on the whole is a pretty loving cat. Only the excess washing get's annoying as well as expensive. All items she urinates on gets washed emediately.

Plz have her checked by your vet for a physical problem but if the problem proves to be behavioral try using a "feliway diffuser" with pheremone liquid in your daughter's room. It will calm her and prevent her from urinating on the blankets and clothes. A friend of mine has a similar problem with her cat and she worked with her vet to find this solution and it works as long as the diffuser is in use. Her cat is a calico and apparantly calicos have physcological problems at some time in their lives. Feliway can be purchased at a reasonable price thru the UPCO catalog and you can access the catalog online. Good Luck.

If the cat isn't fixed get it fixed...then like the others get different bedding for the child, make the cat change the behaviour by not letting it have that room to lounge in and get a totatlly new potty box and start over. Make the cat up a space all it's own in a corner at the oppsite end of the house. Take a clean rag, rub the cat around the face and coat and take that scented rag and run it all over the NEW space to pre mark the territory so the cat has old smells around-course wash the pee pee off the old bedding, and keep the door closed to that space. The cat may or may not find a new place to mark. Getting it fixed is a must, it will live longer and be a happier cat.

I had a cat that did this to everything that belonged to my son. I had 4 at the time but coudn't figure out which one it was until one day, while sitting on the couch the one cat jumped into my son's toy truck looked right at me and just urinated right in the back of the truck. I asked around and I was told it was because the cat was jealous. I soon gave the cat away after that and I did not have any more problems. My son was 1 or 2 at the time and he played with all the cats including this one so I don't know what her problem was.

The only time I have had a cat display similar behavior it was because it was angry at the person. It was my brother in law, who didn't like cats, and would chase her down the hallway. So, when he and my sister would come to visit, the cat would pee on the side of the guest bed he slept on, is clothes and his shoes - never did she do this to anyone else at any time. I don't know how old your daughter is, but it could be that the cat thinks it has been wronged in some manner, and this is her way of exhibiting her anger. Has your daughter recently spent less time with the cat, making it feel ignored? or has she scared the cat in some way, even accidently? Anyway, something has changed or occured and the cat isn't happy about it.

Maybe your cat or sons cat does not like your daughter or your daughter has upset her in some way. Maybe the cat is making her space. The best thing to do is ask your vet and he might has some ideas on that. Close you daughters bedroom door so the cat can not get in there to do her wee. Then she will have to do it soem where else. Good Luck

She's upset with your daughter. At least that is how it started now she has the scent on the blankets and that is where she is going to go from now on.
I think I'd buy my daughter new blankets, close her door and move the old blankets in with the cat where she sleeps.
Good luck, nothing worse than having an animal that has a mind of its own and calls the shots.

i had the same problem. remove all bedding to wash it. DO NOT use fabric softener, or febreze in the room or on the bed. some cats will use the smell as a signal to urinate. cover mattress with a fairly sturdy plastic mattress cover. have the cat neutered. it may be that other cats can approach that rooms side of the house and she hears calls and wants to get out. keep room door closed and cat out of room. if there isn't enough litter in pan, or not changed often enough, that could be part of the problem. i had to turn my
cat into an indoor/outdoor cat as part of his problem was he wanted to get out to other cats. he had been neutered. he also is one of those cats that acts out because of fabric softeners or febreze. onset of mensies is not the problem.

You should take her to a vet to be checked for a uti. That will cause them to pee outside the box. Use Nature's Miracle (pet food store) to clean the urine. Follow the directions and it REMOVES the smell, not cover it up.

She is marking her territory, I assume your daughter is an infant, cats can smell the traces of urine.

your cat is urinating on your daughter's blankets and clothes and nowhere else is because your cat is marking her stuff as it's territory. thats how they mark their territory.they also mark their territory by scratching the spot or surface they want.
