I'd like to take a moment and give a quick update. Hopefully it will be encouraging to others who have had peeing problems. We have not had any issues with pee outside of the litterboxes for almost three months. We hit every couch, cushion, carpet, etc. that we thought might have been peed on...

Actually, my boy cat (Thumper) will hang out outside the shower whenever I'm in and will start meowing as soon as I finish. He loves to lick up the water out of the shower and to rub his body against my wet legs. However, it's the girl cat (Arwin) that likes to make a mess with the water dish...

I really appreciate all of the kind and thoughtful advice I've received from folks on this site. As costly, time consuming, and frustrating as this process has been, I need to know in my heart that I've done everything possible to address this problem before I would re-home them.

In addition to the pee problems we have going on at Casa de Clem, Arwin also likes to "dig" the water out of the water dish. This has been going on for a couple of years, and we've tried dishes of different sizes, weights, depths, and materials without impact. And advice for this behavior...

I actually swithed to the Nature's Miracle litter from Scoop Away after the peeing problems began. I just got back from PetSmart and I've put the additive in 2 litter boxes, the Cat Attract litter in 1 box, and have kept one box hooded with the Nature's Miracle litter (which I consider my...

I'll try to answer all of your questions... # of litter boxes: Had 3, just added a 4th. Two are on the ground floor, 2 are in the basement. All boxes had been covered until yesterday, when I read that they don't like that. The problem with uncovered is that when Thumper uses the box, it's...

You may have read my other thread: http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=178204 Here's a quick recap: I have 3 cats - Nala (Female, 13 years old), Arwin (Female, 4 years old) and Thumper (Male, 4 years old). Arwin and Thumper are brother and sister. All have been spayed/neutered. I...

I guess it was too good to be true. Arwin is peeing again where she shouldn't be. At first, I thought it might be because she doesn't like anything out of place, as she peed on a sweater I had set on the bed and on a pile of laundry that my wife had sorted but hadn't gotten around to. She...

Update: It's been almost a month since Arwin has peed where she shouldn't. I'm not sure what the solution was -- whether it was the Feliway, the extra litterbox, the change of litter, the locking her up at nights for a week... Whatever it was, I'm not complaining. Hwangster - you raise an...

hmmmm... I wonder what that equates to in distance if the fragrance is wafting a couple of directions through a hallway. For those of you with some Feliway experience, how does periodically relocating the diffuser work? I'm thinking I could shuffle it from room daily...

Ever since Arwin developed her peeing problem, I constantly think I smell urine. Today I picked up a black light and used it in my great room. Good Lord, what a mess! Spots everywhere. I'm certain none of what I saw was urine -- most of it is probably juice and food spills from my kids. I...

In order to combat on of my cats' peeing problems, I've purchased a Feliway diffuser and have another on order. I have a ranch-style home with 1800 sq feet on the ground floor and a finished basement with almost the same amount of space. The peeing has occurred on the bed in the master...

Well, I'm $368 lighter in the wallet only to be told that there is nothing physically wrong with Arwin. So it's time to go into behavioral mode. I'm still waiting on my Feliway spray and defuser from Amazon. Tomorrow, I'll go buy a black light and a bunch of Nature's Miracle and start...

Thanks for the feedback. Arwin spent the day (and now the night) at the vet. I spoke to our vet this afternoon and she finally got a urine sample. She said that concetration was fine and that there were no crystals, but she is sending the sample to the lab to check for bacteria. Also...

Hi folks - first time caller, long time listener, great topic, love the show. That said, on with my problem... I've read through the Inappropriate Peeing Problems Answered thread, so I at least I'm not a total newbie. I have 3 cats -- a 13 year old female, and a brother and sister that are...
