We got a new cat in October after Summer was an only cat for a long time. Summer has a history with UTIs, so when she peed outside the box in December, I took her to the vet, and sure enough she had a UTI. They said the lining of her bladder wasn't healthy, she didn't have any crystals, and there was some bacteria. She completed her round of meds, and I took her back Monday for a re-check, and she's in perfect health. However, she has peed outside the box since. She is also on cosequin now as a preventative since she has a history with UTIs.
I think it may be behavioral because I've seen Chevy "stalk" Summer while she was using the litterbox. One time I seen him attack her while she was trying to go. She just left the litterbox, and went to the 2nd litterbox. Chevy followed her and stared at her while she went from a chair about 2 feet away. I use unscented litter, have 2 boxes, scoop twice a day, and all that stuff. Both litter boxes are on opposites sides of the apartment, and in open areas. That's what makes me think this is the problem.
We are not home during the day, and both have full-time jobs. Is there anything I can do to prevent this from continuing?
