Okay, we got a female cat 3 years ago, and she has managed to pee on our expensive wood painted wall 2 times, making the wood fall off everytime you touch it, pee on the side of a 900 dollar piano, and pee everywhere on a red carpet (thnakfully my parents haven't noticed that yet) My mom is discheraged everyday from this, she feels like our house is ruined. She says we have tried everything, which I know we haven't. I love our cat, so giving her away isn't an option, nore is getting a new wood painted wall, piano, and carpet. PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPLLLEase help me, I'm dying, I have no idea how to fix this, the wall is ruined, but there has to be a solution, please, we need a miracle, and my dad can't know, so ewe can't do anything that will make him noticed, I pray for us to find a solution, and for my mom to stop being so depressed, if you have any solutinos, what so ever, please let me know! ANYTHING WILL DO!!!!!!!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm just a kid! GOD BLESS to all!

she is spayed

Is your cat spayed? Spaying will help stop the urinating everywhere. Additionally, when a cat urinates on everything, it is because they are sick. Have the vet give her a complete check up.
Will she use a catbox? Put one in the bathroom for her, and use Scoop Away, which is what we use. We have 11 indoor cats, and nobody ever does anything like that. There are covered catboxes that are more esthetically pleasing than just an open litter box.
I don't think the wood is coming off of your wall, perhaps it is just the finish. Cat urine can be cleaned off of walls with citrus cleaner. Cats don't like citrus so it will also keep the cat from urinating on it again. Clean the side of the piano with Lemon Pledge. In fact, wax all the wood furniture with Lemon Pledge, and again, the citrus will repel the cat.
The carpeting will have to be steamed cleaned, (Deep Steam does a good job.) and citrus room spray can be sprayed on it after it is completely dry.
I know this is long and detailed, but I would like to help you keep your cat, and still keep your home clean, fresh, and undamaged by cat urine.
I hope this helps. Good luck.

IS SHE SPAYED? A female cat who isn't spayed will start to spray on things to attract males. Since cats pee in a squat and you said it's on the walls and piano, I suspect it's the 'spray and the guys will come' excuse for the cat.
Getting her fixed will stop it right away.
If she's fixed already, and is spraying instead of peeing (standing is spraying, it involves some extra stuff from glands in the butt--peeing is squating down to urinate because they have to), talk to the vet about behavior, as this is not very normal in a female cat.
If she's squatting and peeing--there's a whole slew of things to check.
Did you change litters recently
Is the litter too heavily perfumed and driving her away from the box
Has she been scared out of the box when trying to do her business and is afraid to use it now
Is the box in too high traffic an area of the house
Is the box clean (even used once is too much for some cats, get a second box)
Do other pets ambush her in the box when she's using it
Does she have a urinary infection and can't hold it
Is she showing swelling in the butt area and is sore there
Is the carpet new--some rug backings smell like urine to dogs and cats
Have you washed the areas she marked, to remove all urine odor so she won't go back to it
Is she declawed-some cats have paws get too sore when stepping on litter they don't want to use the box
Do you have a covered litter box, this can make some cats resist using it because of smell build up or being startled when they come out of it
Your house isn't ruined. I don't know ANY pet owner who hasn't had some sort of urine/poo/barf that they've had to clean up. You just accept that it happens sometimes and clean up the mess. Babies do worse--

Punishing her by putting her nose in is the WORSE thing you can do, it only causes her stress and she gets worse. What you must do is check her for a urinary tract infection. Peeing in strange places is a typical symptom.
Also, get 2-3 litterboxes and keep them totally clean, with fresh sand. And clean the smell from where she has peed before thoroughly. Thera are also some sprays that deter pets from peeing on the sprayed area, ask your pet shop.

Have you tried taking her to the vet? My cat did that and it turned out she had a problem. The only other thing that I can think of, was she spayed after she was over a year old? Most animals, if they are spayed over a certain age are more likely to urinate all over the place.

Cats don't do this for no reason. Please, take her to the vet. She may be sick, she may have a urinary tract infection or other issues. Or, she may be upset about something. Did something change in the house? A new person, new pet, emotional issues? DOes she have a cat scratching condo or tree or something? Does she have any play toys?

undesirable temper! be certain you be on right of each and every chew he supplies you , in view that cats mouths are loaded with micro organism, and their teeth are sharp and pointy, they reason a puncture wound, the possibility with it is that the right component to the wound heals quicker than the backside, trapping micro organism interior the wound. attempt making a spitting noise at your cat whilst he does it that keeps my cat from behaving badly, I only blow air with the aid of my lips in a pffft sound and she or he hates it she knows she is doing some thing incorrect once I make that noise. DONT wrap a towel around your arm and enable him chew you because of the fact then he will think of that it quite is positive play habit. purchase him a toy to take out his aggression on

Umm how can someone be depressed from that? But anywho...some people probably might not agree with this but I would punish my cat if she did that. Like, right after [she pees on something] yell NO thats wrong!..or pat her on the butt [not hard!]..just do something to make her feel like what she just did was not ok...since she has already done it, make her smell it, then do it [punish her]. This works for me and my cat...and eventually she'll get the hint not to do it anymore.
I dunno if this will work but I tried! Good luck with her. =]
Cats are such troublemakers! haha.
