My Cat Is Peeing Up The Wall. Help!
Dear Most Esteemed and Knowledgeable Kitties: My cat sometimes pees in the litter box but then she sometimes sprays as well (or at least doesn’t squat as much, lifts her tail quivering high and shoots pee out instead of down), she covers both as if she is just peeing. She seems confused about the two actions. She is a confident, healthy (no UTI’s or medical condition — I took her to the vet and had her checked), spayed 5-month-old... Read More
Help! My Cat Is Pooping On the Floor!
Dear Most Esteemed and Knowledgeable Kitties: Eleven years ago I found two abandoned kittens and took them home. They are both neutered males and have always shared an extra large litter box which I clean twice a day. In the last six months, one of them, Smokie, has stopped pooping in the box. He will crawl in to urinate and then step out to poop five inches from it. I had not changed anything about the box, litter, location of the box,... Read More
My Cat Got Out, and Now He’s Peeing Everywhere
Dear Most Esteemed and Knowledgeable Kitties: My cat is about 2 years old and recently got outside for a couple of hours (he’s an indoor cat). We found him under the neighbor’s house — there are always other cats going under there, and he sits at the window and watches them. He’s fixed, but a couple of days after we brought him back in the house, he started mating with everything. I know this is common because... Read More
My cat’s always got poopy paws. Help!
Dear Most Esteemed and Knowledgeable Kitties: I’ve got a problem with my senior cat: she has started walking into the house with poop on her paws. Obviously it’s inconvenient to keep cleaning up, but my main concern is that she’ll end up ingesting it when she cleans herself. I clean it off her as much as I can but I’m not at home all the time. She’s always pooped outside. I’ve made sure the flower... Read More
My cat always has poop on his britches. Help!
Dear Most Esteemed and Knowledgeable Kitties: My cat goes to the bathroom in the litter box, but he never quite gets it all out. He always, unfailingly, has poop stuck to his butt. And not just after he goes; it’s there 24 hours a day, seven days a week. He sits on our furniture, on our pillows, on us, and all over the house with this poop stuck to his butt. I have tried pulling it off with some toilet paper but he won’t let me. What... Read More
How can I get my cat to stop peeing outside the litter box?
Dear Most Esteemed and Knowledgeable Kitties: I have two male cats that grew up together since they were tiny. They are both neutered but one, Loki, seems to be more stressed out than the other. We brought Loki to the vet because he was standing in the litter box while peeing and pees against a wall (almost every day). They did find very small crystals in his urinary tract but she thought the behavior was stress-related. So we tried... Read More
My brother is terrorizing my cat! Help!
Dear Most Esteemed and Knowledgeable Kitties: HELP! My brother chases after my cat until he has nowhere to go and is trapped into corner. When he is trapped, he hisses and pees. Today, my brother chased him into a corner and my cat hissed. I ran over there and picked the cat up, and while I was walking he peed on me! This is the first time in five years that he’s ever done this. What do I do? Did he pee because he’s been scared... Read More
