Yes are calico she seems to go and soaks the entire liter pan once she goes to the bathroom so i am not sure if it's a health issue or not

Yes but what's weird is they use it for about a year and then all of a sudden they stop using it

As I said cats have quirky personalities and sometimes you have to figure them out or what their issues is...

Our 17 year old cat that recently passed had no issue sharing a littler box with other cats or using a covered litter box for 16 year then all the sudden *POOF* he refused to share the communal litter box and also refused to enter a covered litter box...

If the cat is peeing that much at once I'll buy you lunch if she isn't diabetic. How old is she? Has the vet done any blood tests lately?

Our now 13.5 Y/O cat developed diabetes about 2 years ago. With cats you don't really notice how much they are drinking but if they are peeing a lot, it is a problem. The smallest cat (~8 Y/O now) pees a ball smaller than a golf ball. The younger cat digs to China then pees as much on the bottom of the box as in the litter then covers it. PITA as it kind of glues the litter to the plastic. The diabetic cat was making a huge amount of wet litter. She would cover it but it was more like a spill than a localized "deposit".

at one time i had six cats. I used a blue hard sided kiddy pool and put fifty pounds of clumping litter in it... No accidents


That being said. I will NEVER have cats again... ever.

I second the diabetes thing and having her tested. I actually hadn't even thought diabetes, I was thinking UTI or something, but diabetes is a great point too, UTI was just the only issue i knew of at the time.

Also if it is a health issue, don't waste money on hills science diet or any of the prescription stuff, i could direct you to a very good food that's still a hit pricey but much cheaper than that stuff

Well she sits in e bath tub all day and drinks water from the thing and I don't know if she is diabetic and she is about 4-5 years old

What you've described above is a feral cat. They are a bane to virtually all wildlife and I personally despise them and eliminate them whenever possible. Feral cats are one of the largest worldwide destroyers of small animal ecosystems. The absolute worst culprits are those that are fed by humans and kill wildlife for fun.

Well most of are cats we have are strays we just brought in another one and there is still four or five more running around that we feed and I don't like to kill stray cats unless they hurt my other cats and I never plan on it u misspell take them to a kill shelter and have them put down because they clawed a human people over reacte about everything not meaning u I was just saying I don't like to do that unless I absolutely have to

 

[Latestarter]

Just curious as to why you believe it is OK for these strays to kill all manner of local wildlife; birds, rabbits, squirrels, snakes, ect. when they are NOT doing it for food (you stated you are feeding them), and yet you would take them to a kill shelter if they hurt "your" cats? I just don't understand the "logic" behind that at all. sorry.
