Is It Time To Get Rid of My Blind Humping Pissing Pooping Cat?

Question

I have a 2 and half year old female cat and a 6 month female kitten. Last night the cat had the kitten pinned down twice, biting on her neck. When I tried to pull the cat off the kitten, the kittens head moved along with my motions because the cat's jaw was locked in. Then the cat held the kitten down with her back legs and starting to hump her. I was extremely mortified. After all was said and done I took the kitten and locked her in my room for the night. We wanted to be away from the cat.

I am going to get the cat and kitten fixed STAT!!! But do you think it's time to get rid of her? She's more trouble than anything. Whenever she gets mad at me she either pisses or poops on the floor. I love her lots but sometimes you just have to know when to say enough is enough.

I have had the kitten for almost six months. It's not like I just ran out and got one. I'm not an irresponsible pet owner. I have tried everything from buying products to help with the bathroom problem to giving her extra special attention.

Answer 1

Sounds like its time to throw its butt outside. Keep the kitten inside. Worked for me, except I threw them both outside. Could not be happier, no more kicking them off counters or poop boxes to clean!! WOOHOO!!

Answer 2

Why did you get the kitten anyway? Cats are very territorial, you brought a new one, she has to show who is boss. They'll work it out after you monitor them for some time. And you have to show the cat you love her, so that she doesn't do these things on the floor etc. But you have a responsibility towards her and you can't just get rid of her. What are you going to do in 2 years, get rid of the kitten who will have grown up and then you'll want a new kitten? This is what irresponsible pet owners do. Either keep them both ot find a new home for the kitten. It is unfair to send teh old cat away. She may be humping and peeing etc, but I am sure she has given you moments of purring and hugging and being cute.

Answer 3

Get them both fixed asap then see what happens.

Sounds like the older female is jealous of the kitten and wishes it weren't around.

Until they are both fixed continue to keep the kitten locked in your room at night. Nighttime is a time you can't be around to check on the kitten. If you work during the day keep the kitten in another room until you come home from work.

And the suggestion to use a water spray is a good one.

Answer 4

Is your Cat the Mother of the Kitten as it seems there's some territorial fighting going on with your anaimals. The cat was there first so, should be stoked first and showed loads of attention first, then the Kitten. Or else the Cat will be very confused and upset with you and start pooing and weeing everywhere, like what its doing now. Dont get "rid" of the cat just because you've had enough of it and its not cute like the kitten nomore, would you get rid of a child just as easy because it doesn't listen or do as its told??? Show the cat loads of time and affection and then things should get back on track. Its just upset of the imbalance in the house.
Good luck, i hope you dont kick the cat out

Answer 5

It sounds like your older cat is NOT happy with the kitten! Getting both of them spayed is a wonderful idea and should help them calm down.

The defecation and urination on the floor means the older cat is trying to tell you she's unhappy. When she does it again, don't make a big deal out of it, clean it up and put her in her litter box to reinforce the idea that it is the only proper place to go. Since it seems that she's doing it as retaliation, it may be helpful to reconsider what you are doing that makes her so angry. She can't talk like humans can, so she urinates and defecates.

As for the humping behavior, that's normally a male behavior (none of my females have ever done that, just the males). But it can indicate dominance. Cats are very territorial, especially females. Perhaps she was exerting her dominance over the younger one? At any rate, it's a good idea to keep them apart for now.

Try to keep your older cat. You took her in; she's your responsibility for the rest of her natural life. And since you love her, it's best for both of you to try to make it work. Good luck to all three of you.

Answer 6

No, cats are territorial, and they'll have to work it out amongst themselves. I once had a cat who tried to rip a kitten's throat out before she finally settled down, and adopted her as her kitten.

As for fixing them; why didn't you do it before?

As for the soiling; I bet the cat's a Persian, isn't she? I once had a Persian, who would piss in her food if it was the wrong brand, and when she was really angry, she would piss in the drip-pans of the electric range. That's a smell I would only wish on Osama Bin Laden.

Answer 7

i think u should keep the cat just when Ur gone put her in a room away from the kitten until you get them fixed.

Answer 8

Having her spayed should take care of the major problems you are experiencing with her. However, it will not stop it completely. When she is misbehaving, get a spray bottle with water and mist it in her face. I know it sounds mean, but it seems to work well. This is a major factor with female cats, especially when they are coming into heat.

Answer 9

Humping is a domination act, not a reproductive act, especially between two female cats. I recommend you keep both cats. If you "get rid of one", your just part of the problem with the cat population. Get them both fixed.

Answer 10

You need to talk to your vet about her behaviour. It could be caused by the fact that she isn't spayed and is in heat. Cats act strangely when they're in heat, and at her age, she is in heat a great deal of the time. If you get rid of her, chances are she'll be put to sleep. I know I wouldn't want the guilt of that.
