I love Joey. I really, really love him. But why in the name of Og’s left testicle does he insist on peeing on the floor?
About a month ago he got really sick and had to be rushed to the emergency vet. He had some type of pelvic inflammatory something or other and took medication for the next 10 days. He seemed to heal very well. He didn’t have any blockage or anything and I switched his food at the recommendation of the vet and he seems to be responding well.
Up until that point he had never had problems with peeing in the litter box. He would even go in after my other cat Oliver and make sure he buried his business properly. Now he goes in the box like normal except for once a day when he insists on peeing on the hardwood floor. For a while he got shut in the bathroom while I was gone but he started shitting in the tub to punish me for locking him in there while I was at work. I have been leaving him out of the bathroom and he has gone back to shitting in the litter box but he keeps peeing on the floor! What an asstard!
How the hell can I figure out what is wrong and why he is peeing on the floor? Can I just fucking start making him wear a diaper or something? He is driving me to the breaking point and I just don’t know what to do.
Stop being a douche and get back to peeing in the box like normal! Figure out a better way to communicate with me! Urine is not a proper communication tool! AAARRRGGGGHHHHH!
My cat Star is the same way. He’ll use the litter box for poo. He’ll even occasionally pee in it. He can stay outside all day and do his business there. At least once a day though, he’ll pee somewhere. The floor, the kitchen sink, the dirty clothes hamper, the tub, my bed, etc.
He’s had vet visits, I’ve switched foods, I’ve switched litters, I’ve gotten him his own box, I’ve put it in different rooms. Nothing. (Sorry, no pictures. I have no camera.) If it weren’t for being such an excellent mouse catcher*, he would’ve been gone months ago, when he started this.
*Across the street from me are 4 dumpsters for a grocery store, one of which is for the meat area. To the left is a good bit of wooded area, and to the right is a vacant overgrown lot and abandoned house. It makes for a lot of rats in the neighborhood. Having a cat is almost a necessity.
My dog would like to join your club for Pets Who Pee in Awkward Places Despite Having Plenty of Opportunity to Pee in Acceptable Places.
Puck gets out to the backyard more than enough times every day to do his business, which he does, but every now and then he decides the house doesn’t smell uriney* enough. Thanks ever so much, Shit-for-brains. If I didn’t adore you so damn much, you’d probably be decorating the mantle.
My dog is perfect and has never done anything wrong, so I can’t relate there.
My brother’s dog, however, has developed the puzzling habit of peeing in my dog’s food dish when she comes to visit. Despite being a girl dog, she has lived with male dogs most of her life and developed a strong territory marking instinct(she even lifts her leg to pee), but why she does it in my poor dog’s bowl, I have no idea.
I left the cats alone today when I went to Atlantic City with my boyfriend and I tried an experiment. I put one of the litter boxes directly over the spot he generally pees. When I got home the floor was pee free but now he is sniffing around the box and I just know he is going to piss on the floor. I picked him up and put him in the box but he seems ticked off that I would feel the need to tell him where to pee.
Word. My oldest cat Sparkles has been that way her whole damn life. I’ve tried everything. Instinct, my ass. Some cats are just idiots, like some people. I won 't kill her, but I won’t mourn too much when she dies.
Tread lightly. In my experience, when they really want to prove a point, they choose an extremely offensive place to pee like your pillow or in your shoes.
