my cat is urinating in different places in the house inspite of having it's own place age is 6 monthes?

Question

What to do?

Answer 1

first take the cat to the vet and make sure there isn't a medical issue causing the out of litterbox peeing. is it a male cat? is he neutered? if not do so immediatly. male cats around this age will start to spray. and their urine will take on a musty smell that you will never get rid of. if the cat's female, they also around the time of their first heat may not use the litterbox correctly. if you go to the vet and either check the urine or have the cat altered and that still doesn't help ask your vet for more options to help you cat return to the litterbox. it is still young and can be taught.

Answer 2

Do you have another cat or dog? Have there been recent changes in the house? How long have you had this cat? The things you can do to keep the cat from urinating in the house is really depend on some of these answers. The other question is whether it is a male or female cat?

Answer 3

First, I would recommend eliminating medical issues by taking him to the vet. If he has no medical problem other than that he hasn't been fixed, than do so immediately. He is marking his territory. If he has been fixed and there are no medical issues, than he needs a little retraining. For that I would suggest putting him into a small room like the bathroom or patio with his food and litter box. Leave him there for about two days. Be sure to visit him frequently and praise him when he has used his litter box properly. This technique usually works quite well.
Sometimes cats do get confused if the litter box has been moved or if it's placed in a noisy area. Good luck. Give the kitty a little scratch behind the ear for me.

Answer 4

I fully agree with everyone who said that you need to have your cat a. seen by a vet to exclude any medical problems such as bladder stones (unlikely in such a young animal) and to have him (I guess you're talking about a "he") neutered.

The litterbox can also be a problem if it's not clean or your cat doesn't like the kind of litter to use.

I do, however, have one tip for everyone which has worked wonders for me: I have five adopted cats (all neutered/spayed), and the oldest one doesn't like the youngest one and keeps chasing her around. He got into the habit of peeing on my living room wall right in front of my eyes when he wasn't happy with something - he made sure I saw it. This happened in particular when I sprayed some water on him (water is the only thing he reacts to when chasing my youngest cat).

My wonderful vets had a very simple solution - they told me to put a bowl with food next to that particular wall as they said cats would not pee in a place where they eat. I did, and the peeing on the wall stopped immediately. In addition, he has also NOT tried doing this in other places around the house :-)

Answer 5

There is something about the litterbox - this is most likely the problem. You should attempt to clean it every day. The problem generally revolves around a nonclean litterbox.

Another possibility, but I have rarely seen this, is that the litterbox was moved and the cat got confused, and begins to urinate wherever it wants - even if the litterbox moves back. This generally happens to younger cats.

Of course, there might be a mental instability which your vetenarian might want to explore...

Answer 6

Your cat might be exhibiting territorial behavior. Getting spayed or neutered might take care of it. Also make sure that you remove the urine from those places because if the cat smells it he/she might go in the same place again. You can use something like "Nature's Miracle" to do this.

Answer 7

Ok, either there's something wrong with it, in which case you need to take it to a vet or cat hospital, it's not yet box trained
or you bought a different brand of liter for the box, and the cat is protesting. I once had a cat who went on my bed, if I bought the wrong brand. She was a sweet cat, but that problem made me stick with the usual brand.

Answer 8

Has there been other animals in the house before this kitten?
If so try to do some cleaning with odor/scent removing products...try something else in the litter box besides litter..like newspaper or something it is used to peeing on....otherwise it could have a kidney infection .....if none of these things work...it is not a good cat to have in the house.

Answer 9

if its a male cat its senting,marking its territory, the only thing that will stop it is to get it desexed. if its a female, then good luck with it .cause ive never had any trouble with the girl cats . maybe you could leave a bit of it poo in the tray they usually go to the same spots over and over again
