I could really use some advice ---
We adopted 4 new cats in December ... inherited from my mother who passed away. We had 2 cats already in our household ... bringing our grand total to six.
We isolated the cats from ours for about 3 weeks and we let them out, they all adjusted very well ... seem to get along great with our other two cats.
We had just one incident where someone urinated outside the litterbox but it never happened again so we weren't too worried.
However, now two months later, Squeaky --- the most timid of the newly adopted cats --- is starting to urinate outside of her litterbox.
She likes to get on plastic bags (grocery-type bags that we use to scoop kitty litter into) and pee. Plus, she urinated in our bed ... on a brand new comforter we put on last Friday.
We took her to the vet on Saturday - I thought it would be a urinary tract infection, but everything came back ok.
We isolated her on Saturday and Saturday night in a room with a litterbox and she used the litterbox at that time.
And Sunday, I let her out, but no problems whatsoever.
However, this morning, she urinated on plastic bags again ... not just a little bit, but it was like her bladder was bursting full.
Suggestions please???
She is a very loving cat ... vet suggested Prozac ... any experience with that and any side effects?
