Stupid cat is peeing everywhere!

[Gatorpit]

There are five common reasons cats do this: unfixed, dirty litterbox, unhappy with litterbox in general (litter choice, box shape, location), UTI and stress. You have ruled out unfixed, and dirty litter box.

After you rule out UTI, consider any possible stress factors. New people in the house, someone leaving the house (moving out), new work schedule, recent vacation, new furniture, rearranging furniture, new diet, new pet, etc. Basically any change in routine.

Is this new, oe has she been doing it for a long time?

Sometimes cats can become finicky about the litter box itself. You can try a different type of box...if it's enclosed, try an open one and vice versa. Try a different location for the box. Get another box and have two available, try a different litter, etc.

Cats are a pain in the butt about peeing. I don't know why so many rental agencies say no to dogs but allow cats...it ought to be the opposite lol.

Cats will also pee to show dominance or mark their terrirtory. Most commonly, male cats, but females can do it too.

If all else fails, try a litter called "cat attract". You can buy it at most pet supply stores and it works wonderfully. Something in it makes the cat want to use it. It saved my cat's life because I was near the end of my rope with him. After I switched him to this, no more accidents!

We are going to get ours fixed soon. Ours is a Simaese and my cousin also has a Simaese, she is thinking she wants to breed her. So I'm kind of waiting on a final decision on her wanting to breed them.

I'm so hoping after that, he will stop. Cat pee smells so bad. But I love my cats.

are your Siamese registered? Or are they just cats with Siamese markings? I ask because most folks who claim to have Siamese really just have DSHs that just happen to have Siamese markings.

If they are NOT registered...you will find it nearly impossible to sell any...unless the buyer is just plain stupid. Even if they ARE registered, you will have trouble finding people willing to pay. You have to keep in mind expenses. Vet checks on pregnant momma, vet care after birth, emergency vet care if momma has trouble with birthing (VERY common) or if the kittens get sick. If you plan on selling them as opposed to giving them away, you'll be required by law to get health certs on all the kittens before sale, which can cost between $50-$150 PER kitten, plus dewormings and shots, all required by law before sale.

I would suggest that you DON'T breed them. The world is overflowing with unwanted, homeless cats. Sure...you may be able to place them all in what seem like good homes...but are you willing to take those kittens back later when that home decides they don't want it anymore for whatever BS reason people like to give? Are you willing to spay/nueter all the kittens before sending them to new homes to prevent even more homeless kittens?

these are but two of the major considerations someone must keep in mind before breeding, others include (but are not limited to) health testing for genetic ailments and proving an animal is fit to breed through showing.

Sure..."everybody else does it"...right? That doesn't mean it's the right thig to do.

Sigh...we have so been there with one of our cats...along with all the above mentioned suggestions spay/neuter, rule out UTI/bladder crystals, stress, litter box issues, marking....there is the combination/cause and effect factor. When our gal is stressed she does not drink as much and therefore is more prone to bladder crystals leading to peeing in the house.
My husband use to travel a fair bit for work and whenever he returned we had to make sure his suitcase/laundry were behind closed doors or Jazzie would pee on them...interesting that she never pees on my stuff if I am away...guess she doesn't miss me

.
Once we 1) got the bladder crystals under control and 2) made sure her fluid intake is okay when we anticipate she'll be stressed (we got sneaky mixing water in tuna/salmon/canned cat food) and 3) kept the litter box super clean...we have no more pee.
My husband says she is our needy pet.

COULD be one of the four:



1) Feline urinary tract disease (or something of the sort) – basically, she would be very prone to getting recurrent, nearly constant urinary tract infections.

2) An anxiety over a move -be curbed by anxiety meds

3) A behavior problem – again, could be related to a move. Should also be curbed by anxiety meds and/or the pheromone diffuser.

4) Kidney stones – you would have to have x-rays done to find them. Then medication and/or surgery to break them up and/or remove them. The x-rays run around $200

Whoa, speak for yourself about the cost of x-rays. At my vet, x-rays to look for kidney stones are only $60. For $200 I could get an abdominal ultrasound, which is sent out to a specialist to read! The only clinic in my area that I think might charge that much for x-rays is the emergency clinic, and their costs are higher for everything.

There is a great range in prices for veterinary procedures from region to region and from clinic to clinic within any given region. The price that one person pays can never be used to predict what another might pay. It is always best to call your clinic and get an upfront estimate of prices.
