My cat is urinating in ONE spot all the time!!!?

Question

My husband and i have two cats. One female who is 2 or 3 and one male who is 3 or 4. They are both fixed. Our male cat is peeing in the corner of the doorway to our bathroom all the time and he won't stop! We keep their litter boxes seperate and as clean as possible and we spray deterant in the spot he uses but it is still happening. What is the DEAL? They also both vomit more than normal. Sometimes it is right after they eat, they only eat one type of food, dry food for sensitive stomachs, they won't eat anything else. Is there something wrong with both of our cats?

Answer 1

Well once the cat pees in one spot they've marked their territory there and if they can still smell it they will keep peeing there. If they eat too fast or their food goes down the wrong valve it will make them vomit.

Answer 2

That is too bad, I am sorry this is happening to you. Cats do this for 2 reasons. Either there is something medically wrong with him, or it is a behavioral problem. They always will go back to the same place(s) to urinate. Beware, as they will choose other places and if you have another cat who wants to be dominant then that cat will begin marking territory too. My roommate's cats ended up peeing all over my furniture and the issue ended up being a big strain on our friendship. She ended up locking them into her bedroom during the day when we could not watch them and they peed on her bed and everything else. She cried many tears over whether to keep her beloved cats or to have nice things, cause you can't have both when they are urinating on your home. First, I would get him checked out at the vet to make sure all is okay phisically. As far as the behavioral issue...you are already on top of it. Keep the litter box clean (I'm sure you have tried different types of litter as well). Make sure it is not in a cramped space...maybe remove the lid/cover in case he does not like that. Some people claim that declawing a cat causes them to pee outside the litter pan because they associate the scraping of the litter with their paws during recovery to the pain they felt...and they do not like the litter pan after that. I find that argument flawed since most cats with a behavioral peeing problem pee in the pan some of the time and outside of it some of the time. It's really random. Both my cats are declawed and neither of them urinate outside the pan.

The food issue...I have a cat who vomited almost daily until I switched to the Iams in the orange bag (I think it is original). Some do it more than others, but they all vomit and it is normal. Violent or vomiting after every meal would lead me to worry and take into the vet also. I have two cats and the one who vomits was also allergic to her stitches when I got her fixed. I think it is a matter of sensitivity in their stomach, skin, etc.. I have curbed the vomiting also by only giving them each one serving at breakfast and one in the evening. I asked my vet about having to feed dry and wet food combo, is that healthiest and she said not necessarily. If your cat don't want wet food no biggie. Do not dump food into the bowl for the whole day or your cats will overeat and vomit. Good luck! Oh yeah, and by the way, I would ask others if they have tried the scrubbing solutions, sprays and all that that are supposed to fix it (cat attract in litter pan, urine off, etc.) cause NONE of these worked for my roommate. My old roomie and her new hubby just decided not to replace the carpet in the home they just bought. They are just going to let them pee.

Answer 3

Cat's are ....how to put it....picky about where they urinate and for reasons unknown. I have 3 and they all like to urinate next to the litter box but eliminate in the litter box. I have gone to the point that now I put the Puppy pad thingys down around the litter box so they are no longer urinating on the carpet. There must be something that was spilled in that corner that he doesn't like and is trying to cover it up. As for the vomiting have them checked by your vet. There could be something wrong with thier stomach (ulcers). I hope that was some kind of help.

Answer 4

Usually you have to "mask" a male cats scent before it will stop using a spot it has marked. Try putting some cologne on the spot. Also many spray deodorants will do a good job of masking the scent.

Have you tried an anti-hairball food? That often helps with cats who vomit a lot.

Answer 5

How do you comprehend its not a scientific subject, did the guess verify urine? it could grow to be risky for male cats to have urinary tract infections. Is he neutered, if not he should be. in any different case he's mad or under pressure approximately something. you are able to sparkling all you opt for, yet he will shop peeing till you artwork out the subject. He desires a scientific or behavioral vet bypass to. Natures miracle is stable, yet you will be able to desire to handle it like 5 cases. Use an upsidedown laundry basket over the wiped sparkling spots so the cat continues to be away together because it dries.

Answer 6

I would take your cat to the vet if they are getting sick. As for the peeing, try using bleach or pine sol to clean the spot. Or they have special cleaners to remove the smell. A cat's sense of smell is a lot stronger than ours. Even when we think a place is clean, there might still be residue and that is why he keeps peeing in the same spot.

Answer 7

I think a trip to the vet for the vomiting, you may need to find another type of food for them, also maybe ask about the urinating problem too! Clean bathroom really good and you may even try repainting bathroom area!

Answer 8

i am not sure what the problem is, but your cat might have a uninary tract infection. my dog did the same thing, so i dont know if its just a dog thing or if it applies to cats too.

but as for the peeing situation, we put a small tarp on top of the rug that she kept doing her buisness on, and eventually she just stopped. you can also try to put an object in that particulur place so she wont be able to pee there.
My family put a vacuum cleaner in the spot (my dog is deathly afraid of them) and she stopped then too.

Answer 9

how bout you just put the litter box right there where he keeps peeing?

Answer 10

stop cleaning it! put somthing big over the spot like a VCR so they can't move it. then they will have to piss somewhere else. problem solved.
