My wife and I have a problem with our cat. For some reason, she’s lost interest in peeing in her litter box. She’ll crap in the box, but not pee in it, and instead pees on the carpet in front of the box. What makes this worse is that we’re trying to sell our house right now, and having an incontinent cat is going to make it even harder to unload the place, especially if she decides to start peeing elsewhere in the house besides the upstairs "cat room." Has anyone else had a similar problem and can pass along some friendly advice? We don’t want to get rid of the cat or send her off to kitty Dachau, but we need to do something about the piss problem and soon. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.
when was the last time you washed the litterbox?
also sometimes peeing outside the box can mean a urinary tract infection or something like that. if getting a new box/changing litters/washing the box/getting a second box/buying urinary tract health-specific food doesn't cut it, it's time to visit the vet just to eliminate that possibility. how old is she and is the peeing outside the box thing out of the ordinary? maybe she's just an asshole. my first cat, keno, is an asshole like that but that's how she's always been (she is borderline autistic) and it has more to do with poop than pee. poor stupid cat.
also, go to walmart and purchase "out!" pet stain/smell remover. it's the cheapest and best enzyme stench killer.
