What do you think? Every once in a while she will pee somewhere and repeatedy hit that spot until we do something about it. We can't really afford to take her to a vet to see if she has an infection. We recently stopped letting her go outside due to aggressive neighborhood cats causing her injuries and us vet bills. Are there any other signs of an infection? Would she be peeing in different places or just one spot?

When my cat had a bladder infection, he kept going back and forth to the litter box very frequently (every couple minutes.) When I decided to look in to see what he was doing, I saw that he was trying to go but couldn't. He was also sitting in a weird, uncomfortable looking position on the floor and I saw he was leaving a little pee when he got up. That was my experience with a boy kitty, and it doesn't sound like what your kitty is doing. Maybe females react differently? I think if she was infected, not much would come out. Hopefully it's just a territorial issue :-)

Try making sure the litter box is clean. Some cats get picky about that and will use another spot. Clean any spots well so there is no trace of a scent or she'll just use it again. White vinegar is the cheapest thing to try. She also may be adjusting to not being able to go outside, but I'm glad to hear your keeping her inside. It's my opinion that inside is the safest for any cat.

The litter box has to be kept clean at all times or they will not go in it. It needs to be emptied once a week and thoroughly washed out. Fill it with a good quality litter and scoop poops out as much as possible. Once you find a litter that your cat likes, don't change it. Cats hate change and won't accept anything else once they are used to a certain brand of litter. Don't move the cats box around either. Once your cat gets used to the location of it's box. Leave the box as moving it around only confuses them as to where to go potty

She is probably upset that she cannot go out anymore. Try a few different types of litter boxes and different varieties of litter and keep them in different rooms of the house. If she stops messing then you found your answer. Now just reduce the number of litter boxes until you are back to the one she likes best. Make sure it is in an area that she can use without being disturbed by sounds, lights or people.

I think sorry for the kittens getting declawed. Its an overly merciless and painful factor to place a cat by way of. Wish extra used to be stated approximately it so it could quit. You can take a look at maintaining the areas she has long gone as blank as viable - mostly get anything at a puppy retailer to eliminate the scent. That could preserve her from feeling love it used to be ok to head there once more. If you preserve up with striking her in her field perhaps by the point she is larger she might be entering into her field at all times. I desire your roommates would possibly not eliminate her.

When cats are not using their litterbox they do tend to go in the same place in the house.
Whether she has crystals in her urine causing her painful urination (only a small amount of urinary problems come with infections) can only be determined by a veterinary urinalysis.

Is the cat box clean? If the box is not sifted everyday, this may cause your cat to use the floor............
