We have a lovely 1 year old female cat who is perfect in every way. Always been house trained and used her tray with ease. The last 3 months she has begun urinating all over the house in the most bizarre of places. These include inside my daughters shoes,on the window sill,on clothes,on the table etc. Why is she doing this of a sudden?? I am getting thoroughly fed up of finding things covered in very smelly cat wee!! In case you need to know she is an indoor cat and hasnt been spayed yet.Any advice would be welcome!!!

1. Check her for a urinary tract infection. Female cats get them often, and they feel some discomfort urinating, they associate that to the litterbox, so they start urinating elsewhere. Take a sample of urine to have it analysed, or consult your vet about it.
2. Spay her. Perhaps this behaviour is due to the fact that her hormones tell her to mark her territory or to attract other cats to mate or something.
3. Either way, go to the vet. The urine analysis must be done as soon as possible, because apart from the discomfort she has, the infection can cause worse problems, but if she is treated early enough it is a simple matter.

If the litter tray is cleaned every day and she has been spayed she is probably sick. I had a cat that started to do this. I took her to the vet and tests showed she has an infection in her bladder. A course of treatment soon had her back on track and peeing in her litter box.

has she gone into heat if she was in heat then she is spreading her scent around for male cats to find and if that is what it is then she not peeing. if your cat is declawed that could be another resaon. when the cat is declawed they tend to make a bad habit of peeing out side the litter box. make sure to clean her litter box often at least twice a day. new litter once a week. have the litter box within a good distance from her food and water. put vingar on the places she did pee to get the scent up so it wouldn't be there anymore.take your cat to the vet it might be a uti or something you don't even see.

Could be that there is a new cat in the area. They wee on things as a way of marking their territory. See if this is the case if so you may want to scare the other cat off

Cats are very teritorial and like to feel in control. Has anything changed since her change in behaviour ? New baby partner house pet etc ? She obviouslt feel threatened by someting so you need to find out what it is and if you can do somthing about it. Cats will eventually adapt to diffrent situations but there not happy about it for quite some time !!

urinary track an infection is the main hassle-free, or in the adventure that your clutter field isn't being wiped sparkling sufficient they are going to now and returned try this. Cats choose to be sparkling and if there field isn't in tip suitable shape they are going to locate some the place else to flow. If that's no longer the subject than it extremely is a UTI

make sure her litter tray is clean and nowhere near her food bowl.
otherwise it could be a sign of stress or illness. get her spayed and while you're there get the vet to check her out. you should be worried about her rather than annoyed

it probably needs spaying. Go to the vet for a check and a spaying appointment as well. Good luck
