Hello everyone, I am new here and I am so happy I found this forum. Everyone here has so many good and helpful things to say. I've never been on a forum before. This is my beautiful 8 year old cat Mia. We rescued her when she was just 16 weeks old. She has been a joy in our life since day one. She is sweet and gentle. She has handled changes in life with such grace and never exhibiting any behavioral issues. She's endured a cross county move and flew with us on the airplane from California to Florida and did great. She adapted so easily and quickly. When we bought our first home nearly four years ago she adapted to that major change as well, no issues ever. She has always taken right to her liter box in any new location never having a single accident. But now 8 years into her life, she has started to pee outside the liter box on our white chair and white sofa so I see it right away since the fabric is white, and thankfully slip covered for easy cleaning. She primarily was peeing only on the chair but today started on the sofa right where she was happily laying yesterday grooming herself in the sun that was shining through the window. I have taken her to her vet twice and had tons of tests done. As my biggest fear was a kindney issue or cancer. All her blood test, urine tests, fecal tests were normal. The vet said upon initial viewing of the x-rays she thinks she saw crystals in Mia's bladder. So she wanted to put Mia on the prescription urinary food and said that would help Mia. But to my surprise when the specialty report came back from the radiologist there was no mention of any urinary issues including crystals, in the final report. And the imaging of her chest and all organs showed no signs of a health problem. We are so grateful for that. We are happy to provide her with the urinary food, and we did and thankfully she loved it. But unfortunately it hasn't fixed Mia's peeing issue. We also tried everything else our vet said to do like the Fellaway plug in etc. But nothing is helping. It's been going on for two months now. The dr did talk about kitty Prozac as a last resort because we don't want to medicate our sweet girl unless absolutely necessary. So I put a call in to Mia's dr this morning and I am just anxiously waiting for a call back. I want my cat to live a long happy healthy life, and I don't want to medicate her. But I know I can't keep having her pee outside the liter box. She even peed on my daughters pillow once. I keep her liter box so tidy and scoop it every single day, so I know a dirty box isn't the issue for her. I was hoping that some other cat owners on here would be able to offer some input, I would truly appreciate your time and help. Thank you for reading my post. Happy New Year to all the humans and animals alike!!
