I want to get rid of cat because she has peed all over my brother's bed?

Question

It's not like the litter box is dirty... because it's NOT. It never is. She has even made bowl movements on the carpet in the living room when the box is CLEAN and fresh. I'm sick of her. We got her along with her brother when they were 10 weeks old. She is now a year old... and I just hate her now. Her brother has never done anything like this, plus, my brother is sending for him back in Florida. My mother and I can't stand the girl and I'm afraid that she might get pissed off at me one day and pee all over my bed. Where do I take her? I can't even look at her anymore. She peed ALL OVER the bed (a queen) and on top of the pillows. Even pooped somewhere and tried to cover it up. For the past four days, my brother's room has been smelling and we couldn't figure out why. After my mom removed the sheets, she found out why...

Stop assuming things. She has been to the vet and there is nothing wrong with her.

Again, we don't ******* yell at her. Stop assuming things. We treat her normally. She's just a retarded cat

Answer 1

The cat is upset about something having to do with the box.
It is normal to have one box per cat. Some cats will not go in a box that another cat uses.
The most important thing to remember is that cat's don't operate like people. If you are yelling at her, trying to punish her, etc. you are probably making the situation worse and making her stressed out. Also, she could have a bladder or kidney infection. This causes them to "go" different places because it hurts when they go, so they associate pain with the cat box.
I know it is frustrating, but this problem can be corrected. If you cannot work with her, give her to a cat rescue organization that will place her in a home where her problems can be addressed.
Contact your local Humane Society/ASPCA for rescue groups or look online.

Answer 2

When they suddenly change their behavior there's usually a very good reason for it - and it won't be because they don't like you.

The vet needs to see if she's got a urinary tract infection. That makes a cat feel like they have to go to the bathroom all the time, and when they can't get relief in the litter box, they figure the box is at fault and try to do it somewhere else. Usually the spots they pick are places with strong smells--like the bathroom rug, the laundry basket, over shoes or on the bed. We can't smell the smells because our noses don't have the sensitivity of a cat's, but they sure can smell it, so they use the second smelliest place in the house (and get blamed for it like you're blaming her).

If she's got an infection, it's not her fault. If she doesn't have one, there's often another reason. Have you changed litter brands recently? A lot of them have awful smelling perfumes in them and cats don't like to use a box that smells awful like that. They try to find another place to go, and pick what they think is appropriate (bed, carpet in the bathroom, etc.).

The cat should be checked first, to make sure it's not a medical problem and then if it's not, look at what's different around your house. Has there been fighting cats heard outside? Is the normal routine changed and the cats don't know what's going on? Did the litter change? Is she being ambushed by the other cat when she's trying to use the litter, which could make her afraid of using the box? Can you offer her a second box somewhere else in the house? Is she in heat? (I didn' t see if you said she was fixed. If she's in heat, she's trying to call males to her area so she can be bred, it's instinctive for them).

There are any number of reasons a cat can break training suddenly, but none of them involve them hating the people they live with. You have to play detective to find out what's wrong, not blame the cat.

Answer 3

It could be caused by a lot of things. Your best bet before getting rid of her would be to ask your vet instead of Yahoo Answers. YES, I know you've said the vet has checked her out, but have you asked them for advice and followed it?

Yes, it can take a while. If you don't think it's worth it, the cat is better off with better owners anyway. I'm sorry to be brash, but I'm only responding accordingly to your attitude as I interpret it, soo...

But obviously you asked this question because you wanted answers, so I'll try and help you.

In my own experience (as I have four cats), they used to do that all of the time. I changed the litter brand and it didn't help, although it was suggested. However, my cats were not fixed. Once I got them neutered, it just stopped.

Some suggestions, though:

-if the litter box is covered, take the cover off (had that problem once too)
-Try to catch her in the act. When she pees, take her directly to the litter box
-Move the litter box to a different location.
-Move the litter box to a place she commonly uses the bathroom (temporarily, I know it stinks and could get annoying)

Sometimes it's just a case of potty training. I'm sorry you're starting to hate her; maybe her new owners can fix the problem if you don't want to.

Answer 4

I, too, am having this problem all of a sudden. It's not like my cat is a kitten...it's 10 yrs. old and just started this. I asked a question on here on how to stop them from doing this.

I can tell you this much...if the cat is leaving dribbles frequently, it is probably a urinary tract/bladder infection so a vet visit is necessary for urine testing, possibly blood tests etc. and maybe just a course of antibiotics.

If the cat is letting the whole load go all the time, it is probably what the vet's call a behavioural problem. They tell me behavioural problems are sometimes very difficult, if at all fixable. Your cat may be "pissed" at you if you pay more attention to your other cat OR it may not like its' food OR it may be angry at its' sibling, etc,. etc. When looking at behaviour, it's very hard to figure out what the cause is. Sometimes the vet will say it's anxiety or something like that and suggest something like "kitty Prozac".

Also, some have suggested making the cat an outdoors cat so that it comes in when it asks to and also asks to go out when it has to. The one problem with this for me is that my cat is declawed in the front; therefore, she would be prey to stronger animals, possibly leaving her with little or no defense.

I do know that if it continues, it's enough to make you miserable; not to mention mental. And, when that happens, you take it out on the cat, making the cat more moody...thus the vicious circle.

I love my kitty but people tell me I can't let my kitty turn my world upside down to the place where I'm stressing 24/7.

Best of luck to you!!!

Answer 5

Have you taken the poor cat to the Vet? Any undue stress? Change in cat litter brands; cat food??
Get rid of that matress!!
You really can get rid of some cat urine smells on flrs; ex: simple solutions but not in a matress or couch! Sorry!
If this just started; oops, is she spayed? If not- get her spayed!
I can only think she has a UTI; like people or if it's not a physical problem- let the Vet check her out- it's a behavior problem and I'd try Feliway spray and plug ins!

Answer 6

I have found that there are only two reasons for improper elimination........illness or the kitty is unhappy and trying to LYK that she is unhappy. Think back and ask yourself has there been any major changes in her environment. A new person a young child misbehaving, another animal came to visit, construction and remodeling at your house...cats HATE change.

In the meaaantime keep kitty away from your brother's bedroom CLOSE the door. Provide her with a smaller living space......... yes confinement ..........and then allow a little more space if she continues to be a good girl

Answer 7

Cats tend to do stuff like that when they are upset in general, or just angry/anoied with some one.

If it's not a matter of training her to use the box and she dose.... then you have done something to make her mad.

Cats tend to be a bit vindictive... and they will take revenge of sorts even for something that happened quite some time ago. And if a cat is not a violent one it will go the bathroom in places you sleep or are sure to encounter it instead.

If you take it out on them your will be going back and forth with the cat until one of you just decides to forgive and forget.

My friend use to have a cat that would get violent... his mom stepped on her tail and like three weeks later out no where she leaped onto her head and clawed her a few times before running off. So it can be a while sense you got the cat angry too, might not have been a resent thing.



But I can tell you every time my adopted brother gets the cat mad she takes a grate big dump right on his pillow... lol

It happens a lot ... lol.... he makes her mad all the time.... puts off changing the littler box for weeks..... locks her out of his (and her) room at night.... shoves her out of the way with his foot with more force than necessary (not really kicking her but sill pushing her to hard)

you name it she gets mad and craps on his pillow.... or in his shoes... or something like that....



hehe don't do that to me though, she likes me ^^

I acedently closed the door on her tail when she tried to sneak in to my room with me... she hid away for a few hours but after that she was rubbing up agesnt me and purring and didn't do anything about it

cats can be forgiving but watch out when there not....

Answer 8

You know, did you ever think of taking the cat to a vet to be checked out instead of complaining about it and saying you hate it? Wouldn't you go to the doctor if you were having problems? I think you would. It might not like the litter. It could be stressed out because it knows you don't like it. Could be a colon and/or urinary problem. Wise up and take it to the vet instead of trying to get rid of it. APL will kill it and I would hope you don't want that. Non kill shelters. There's products in stores to help make cats NOT pee on things. cats don't like citrus smells so get some orange peels or oil and put in areas where it does that. Also, put its' food where it pees.

Answer 9

You should ask your vet to refer you to an animal behaviorist. He/she might be able to give you an explanation as to what's causing the behavior and what you can do to remedy the problem. Also, if you haven't gotten her spayed yet, that could definitely help our her behavior problems. Perhaps try using different types of litter as well. If all this fails and you really can't stand her, the only option left may just be to give her up to an animal shelter. But I think it's worth it to give these efforts a try first.

Answer 10

Exactly WHAT is your question?? All I see is a bunch of ranting and raving. Have you taken her to the vet for a urinalysis...she could have a bladder or urinary tract infection. If you DID take her to the vet like you claimed and everything checked out fine...I cannot imagine the vet would just send her home without giving you ANY advice on how to deal with this problem if it is indeed a behavioral one. Either you are lying or your vet is incompetent....which is it??
