Any ideas on how to stop my cat from peeing on my carpet? He does not have an infection..?

Answer 1

Drag the cat to that area. Let him or her see what she had done. Put it's nose very close to the pee. When she perceives it she knows you have gotta a problem with her. Or You could hit her a little bit ( not hard) at the spot. I use to do this for my dogs when they poop inside my house and ate my food. it's true it's true it's true. it really works!!

Answer 2

Are you sure he doesn't have cystitis? If he's spraying, it could be because you've brought something or someone new into the house. Has he always done this, or is this something new? Is he neutered? There are so many reasons why he could be doing this. If he's neutered, and there's not been any changes to the household, the only thing that's ever worked for me is to crate the cat in a large crate with a litter box. You have to leave him in there for an entire week (with fresh food and water of course) and eventually they get the idea. It seems cruel, but it does work and you're not harming him in any way. You CAN take him out to pet him of course. Just don't let him have the run of the house. Then while he's crated, use an enzyme (you get it at the pet store) to put on the areas he HAS gone on, and when that dries...spray a product like 'Indoor NO!' on the areas to make them less appealing.

Answer 3

The soiled area must be completely deodorized.
Carpet shampoo will not remove the scent of the urine and the cat will revisit that area over and over. Purchase Nature's Miracle that works on cat urine stains.
Keep the litterbox clean, you may an owner of a cat that is very particular about his box. Buy some different kinds of litter and see which one the cat uses and stick with that kind of litter. Some cats prefer clumping, some clay, some cats don't like scented litter others are ok with it.
After the stain is cleaned, put another litterbox in that area.
If all else fails, buy some Feliway spray for cats, it's expensive but just might do the job.

Answer 4

Once a cat or a dog pees on an area rug or carpet, the scent will be there forever. And the pet will always tend to pee on it.
My friend's cat ruined his expensive oriental rug, since he just gave up after a while. He just had it cleaned every couple of months.
My yorkie pees on my area rugs occasionally when she gets too excited or if she's "pissed" off about being left alone too long.
If you can't deal with it, then you should remove the carpet or rugs. Otherwise, as another friend quipped when my dog pee'd on his carpet, "Don't worry about it. It's actually a gigantic wee-wee pad since our 2 cats and the dog pee on it all the time." My friends currently have parquet floors.

Answer 5

If he's peeing in corners, behind or under furniture, then first thoroughly deodorize the area. They make some special stuff they sell at pet stores, but it's a good idea to follow up with a liberal spraying of Febreze. Then...

Place small litter boxes (I use disposable pie pans) over all the spots. In time, you should be able to consolidate the litter boxes into a more appropriate location. Be sure to check and clean the little litter boxes at least once a day.

Answer 6

I assume he's not fixed. Get him to the vet for a quick and simple snip. He'll be a much better pet for you. I'll spare you the lecture on the social reasons to do it.

If he's already fixed, clean the litter box, don't use any litter with deodorizers etc... just plain litter. Don't move the box once you have a good place for it. Keep the door closed with him in that room (with soft place to sleep, food, water, etc...) until he uses the box. Be ready for complaints at the door.

Fixed cat's are natural with this and should adapt quickly...

Answer 7

Is this a new kitten? If so, you may have given him/her too much room too quickly, you should give them just a bathroom or other small space for a couple of days until they adjust.

If this is an older cat who is familiar with his/her surroundings, is it fixed? Spaying and neutering will stop their urge to pee around.

If it is a fixed older cat, you need to take it to the vet, it is not natural for a cat to pee on the carpet. Potted plants and other sandy or dirt environments are typical, but not carpet.

Call your vet.

Answer 8

that's pretty hard. we've been battling with this one for a while. once the smell gets in to the carpet, you're basically done for. they keep peeing there because it smells like pee. we had to replace the carpet and put in wood floors.

Answer 9

you could change your carpet,most animals r teritorial n its just marking its place its usualy in the same place,and train your cat to use the litter box. or if all els fails just give it a boot,it will learn by force.

Answer 10

Remove the carpet.
