Post subject: Cat Pees Everwhere (Including Litterbox)
Archived from groups: alt>cats (more info?)

We have a male cat about 6 months old that has for sometime actually
urinated in places besides the litter box--but he does pee in the litter box
too. In particular anything in our bedroom he craves. He will just about
beat down the house trying to get in there the split-second you open the
door--then he procedes within SECONDS to squat and lay some drops on our
pile of dirty clothing.
He even did this with some croqueting yarn in that room--again, within
SECONDS. He doesn't do any of this in the living room--except (1) he
actually once did it in my laptop's carrying case (the laptop was not in
there at the time) and (2) on a pair of shorts I had lying around.
Never does it on the couch or the carpet--but if that same pair of shorts
were to be there away he'd go.
What would be causing this? Is he in heat? He's only 6 months old, and
doesn't display any frisky behaviors towards our other cat--a younger
female.
And again--he does pee in the litterbox too. Yet even so, he seems to prefer
doing it on the pile of dirty clothes in our bedroom if he gets the chance.
It seems to fascinate him.
Tips?

He is 6 months old and not neutered. Male cats do not have heats -
female cats do. 6 months is about the right time for a male cat to
become sexually mature. I think he is marking his territory. Neutering
him should help. Neuter him before this behaviour becomes a bad habit.
Unless you plan on letting your female cat have kittens, you could
neuter her at the same time.

Excellent advice. By the time LRH reads this, the younger female may come
in heat. Then he will see some *frisky* behavio(u)r for sure.

If he's not allowed access to the room normally, he's likely marking this
new territory as also his.

My cat does this. Female, spayed, eight years old. Any clothing or blankets
I leave on the floor, she immediately pees on them. I've caught her peeing
on the carpet as well, in places that indicate she's mad at me (by the
outside door - mom leaving is bad, and by the closet door, where I keep my
work clothes - mom smelling like other cats is also bad (I work for a
shelter)).

Get him neutered if he isn't already, be sure to clean thoroughly after any
of his messes with an enzymatic cleaner. You may want to let him in your
bedroom when you're there. If his scent is on some of your things, he may be
less likely to mark anything further. >> Stay informed about: Cat Pees Everwhere (Including Litterbox) |

Neutering has been mentioned. I totally have no problem doing this. However
this seems to not be "spraying," as there is always squatting and it's not
like the side of the wall etc. What I've read says that's a peeing issue not
a "spraying issue." I don't know if that makes any difference.
As for letting him in that room (suggested by Kalyahna)--no way. I mean,
within SECONDS EVERY single time he's in there he does the same thing. No
way I'm letting that happen.
Also--maybe there is an "in heat" issue (at least the equivalent for a man),
he's doing that particular type of meow frequently now--the same type an old
female cat I once had would do when she went in heat.

Sounds like he's marking territory
1-get him altered asap.
2-get a hamper and keep your dirty clothing in it (preferably with a lid and
maybe a deodorizer - good place for a stick-up and all that)
3-you may want to try a feliway diffuser >> Stay informed about: Cat Pees Everwhere (Including Litterbox) |

Your cat is trying to associate his own scent with yours. This can be
brought on by stress, over-attachment or a urinary tract problem (though he
would be unlikely to be peeing only on your shorts in that case). Most
people are offended when a cat pees on their clothing, but it is actually a
compliment in a way, albeit an unwelcome one. If possible consult a vet,
otherwise you should not let him have access to your bedroom unless you have
picked up your dirty clothes and put them out of his reach.

Male cats do not come in heat. They are always sexually active. Now is the
time to have him desexed, or he will be peeing all over your house in
another few months.

I agree with the work clothes-other-cat-scent-thing, but not the back door.
I think that she is most likely marking because of another cat hanging
around and possibly spraying on the outside of the door, a dog or some other
real or percieved threat. In my opinion, cats do not get mad at people -
they become stressed and insecure that is all.

Are you sure that your male cat is a male?
If it is definately a male, frequent calling is usually a sign of distress!
I would take him to a vet.

I don't know for sure - but vinegar and lemon juice are both very good
cleaners which will cut through just about any grease and grime.
Bi-carb of soda is also good for tough spots if used as a paste.

You can find enzymatic cleaners at most pet stores.
Examples:
Simple Solution Urine & Stain Remover
Just for Cats by Nature's Miracle
Get Serious - Pet Stain, Odor and Pheromone Extractor
Petzyme Stain & Odor Remover for Cats
Cat Formula Odor Disposer
ODORAWAY (available online)
Just to name a few in no particular order.

I live in an apartment, not a house. The only place she can see other
animals is outside the window, but she has never urinated on that side of
the apartment. It has -always- been by the door. Perhaps she isn't upset
that I'm leaving, but that when I come back through that door, I smell like
other animals (she was initially given up for attacking dogs in the
household, and eventually we discovered that her buddy-cat was bullying
her). >> Stay informed about: Cat Pees Everwhere (Including Litterbox) |

You can check at any of your local pet stores (Petco, Animart, etc).
Supermarkets and grocery stores don't tend to carry enzymatic cleaners (and
general stain removers may get rid of the stain, but they will NOT remove
the smell, which can draw a cat back to continually pee in the same spot).
The bottle will say that it contains enzymes or is an enzymatic cleaner -
basically, the enzymes get rid of the smell.
Vinegar works well - it's a scent that cats don't like, so they'll keep away
from the place that smells like it, but I don't know if it actually gets out
the underlying scent of urine or just covers it with something stronger. >> Stay informed about: Cat Pees Everwhere (Including Litterbox) |
