How do i stop my cat from peeing everywhere but her litter tray?

Question

It's driving me mad.
The tray is clean so why is she doing this?

Answer 1

There could be a number of reasons. When my cat gets mad at me she will pee on every single bath mat in the master bathroom. When I brought home another cat, thinking she could have someone to play with she peed everywhere just to piss me off!!! Also, does she normally go in the littler tray?? If so, she/he may be trying to tell you something. When my cat kept peeing on the front entryway persian rug right in front of me I got mad and looked at it and discovered she ws peeing blood and had a severe UTI. Anyway, Everytime my cats would try to pee elsewhere I would immediately pick them up and set them in the litter tray. It took a little while but they eventually got the point. They now go outside or in there tray. Good cleaner for the carpet is-Woolite pet stain and odor remover +oxygen. This is a great cleaner and will get rid of the smell very well. Hope I helped a little. I know it is frustrating but hang in there.

Don't clean any spots with products containing ammonnia(their urine contains ammonia so it attracts them to the scent). Use Vinegar or a vinegar/soap/water solution to clean the carpets(you may have to remove the carpets and put in new or switch to hardwood floors(be sure to replace the padding also and clean the subfloor with bleach before laying new carpet. My cat was like this and my vet had me try a couple of things:
1. 1 1/2 litter boxes per cat if you have more than one cat put in separate locations.
2. "lock" the cat in a room/or closet with the litter box and food/water when you go away.
3. Some cats like larger pans so use a clear tote--the kind you would use to store clothing in and place under a bed.
4. The cat may have anxiety issues---my had to be put on Valium_-yes Valium!
5. try mixing outdoor soil in with the litter--most cats prefer an out door bathroom. If this works then gradually use less and less soil when changing the box.
6. make sure the cat is fixed.
7.Check with your pet store for a cat Pherimone spray(can't remember the name but it starts with an "F") they sell a spray and plug-ins for walls
8. Some cats will never stop doing this--mine didn't up until she died and she was 12 years old.
9. make sure she doesn't have a urinary tract infection
10. There are supplements that you can give her to deterr the marking--ask your vet or pet store
11. Try a pet crate if you don't have a separate room to put her in--put her litter box in with her and her food--she'll use the box because they don't like to go where there food is
12. Outside of a crate try keeping her food away from the box but yet close to the box!

Hope this helps!

Whoever informed you neutering a cat will give up it from peeing everywhere is erroneous. Has no longer something to do with it. First and maximum obtrusive - is his muddle field sparkling? Cats are very sparkling animals and could no longer go right into a field that may no longer sparkling. which ability, no less than it desires to get replaced as quickly as a week, and the poop would desire to be scooped out on an accepted basis. what type of muddle do you utilize? it ought to no longer in ordinary terms like the muddle. Is he a kitten and that i'm assuming you confirmed him the place the muddle field became into? they in many situations basically would desire to be shown one time and are good to go, because it have been! Is the field in a position he can definitely get entry to it and is it a quiet place (like us, cats like their privateness while doing their stuff) the 2nd component is, as somebody stated already, a urinary an infection. this is a rather uncomplicated reason they gained't pee in the field. he will would desire to verify the vet approximately that. different issues are, is he mad at you for something? Leaving him on my own, treating him badly, bringing somebody into the domicile they do in contrast to or that treats them propose (like a sparkling boyfriend/lady pal)? Is your kitty under pressure approximately something - somebody no longer being astounding to him, you extra yet another cat into the domicile or a canines? think of of your cat as a human - then you definately'll understand them plenty extra advantageous! good success!

Answer 5

this might sound odd, but the tray might be too clean! cats use regular places as a toilet so if it smells of disinfectant or if you clean it everytime it's used, the cat will never learn where it's supposed to go.

Also moving the cat to the tray mid-flow will teach it where it's supposed to be

Answer 6

What you havent explained to us is the age of the cat. Some cats when they get older cant control there bladder system just like with humans or if it is young it might just be that it has never used a litterbox before and needs training. Check with a vet just incase of any infection or disease though

Answer 7

If she used to pee in the litterbox, she may have a urinary tract infection. Consult your vet and take a urine sample for analysis. This is typical behaviour of an infection, because they associate the discomfort they feel when urinating with the litterbox, so they try to find a new place.

Answer 8

Some cats just do that. Put regular vinegar wherever your cat has peed. They do not like the smell so they won't go there again. Also when you notice her starting to go somewhere hurry and put her in the litter box. I also used a water bottle to train mine. A squirt or two in the face and that usually worked.
Good luck.

Answer 9

Buy a litter box with a lid and lock the cat in it.

Answer 10

Put pepper down, this also works to stop them from scratching ie wallpaper.
