my cat emma, we have had her for 2.5 months now....she is about 20 wks old. we got her from an animal shelter. when we got her she had URI pretty bad, but we gave her antibiotics. she was fine and has been fine health wise since.
we are suppose to go in nov. to get her from making babies. (i'm telling you all this to let her know her med. history and health, b/c it might have something to do with this, not sure)
she had NO problem with the litter box, i just put her in the litter box and shes used it with no problem ever since (except occasionally she likes to play with her litter...but no big deal)
YESTERDAY.....i found she urniated on a pillow. (before i moved out on my own i grew up and had at least 6 cats in my house, so i know about cats and what not)
I thought maybe the litterbox was a little dirty and maybe she didn't want to pee b/c of that. so i cleaned it out.
well then....she peed on the goose down feather bed cover. i thought maybe there wasn't enough litter in the litter box, b/c we ran out, so i could only put a little...i punished her all the same, held her nose by your pee and gave her a little tap on the rear and said "EMMA, NO"
so anyway, i put litter in the litter box, a differant kind. pine litter (which she has used before) i didn't put that in there earlier b/c we have an automatic box, and the box doesn't like the pine litter.
THIS MORNING...JUST NOW she hops up on the bed, i see her about to squat...she jumped down, and peed on the blanket again. not more than 15 min later, i saw her jump up on the bed to pee on it again,...and she pissed on the blanket again.
she is acting 100% fine. she is a little more "vocal" than usual...but its like happy talking. her nose feels fine. she is playful. shes prob going to go into heat fairly soon....maybe in nov sometime, which is why we are going to the dr to have her snipped.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. BUT I CAN'T HAVE HER PISS ON A UNWASHABLE BLANKET ANYMORE! the smell is making me sick alone!
any ideas?
