2 cats - One goes outside, the other......

Hi people!

I have 2 gorgeous cats - both from less than a year old, both neutered, clean and healty.

One cat (Jazmine) is a little dopey - falls off things and generally makes me laugh! When she want the loo - out the cat flap and into a pile of compost - suits me fine.

Lou-lou on the other hand likes to use litter trays - will occasionally go outside and eliminate on the patio, and makes no attempt to cover it. With the litter trays, she will poo in them, but not wee in them. Again, she makes little attempt to cover it. Instead, she likes to wee in the corner of the living room, or if blocked off (tin-foil!) she'll go on the sofa.

I have cleaned with a enzyme based cleaner, (GET OFF!) and she no longer goes in the corner. However, she is choosing the sofas now instead. (Sofa's cleaned!)

What advice can you offer? I have two litter trays, one in the conservatory, and one (just moved) in the bathroom. The bathroom one is marked by lou-lou each time it's emptied, the other is not. Using gravel based litter, which she prefers.

She's an adventurous cat, gets on well with jazmine, and is all clear according to the vet.

Help!

Wow, this is a challenge! The first and most important thing is a vet check, this is a major symptom of UTI infection. It is hard to pass judgment if it is a physical ailment....... if that is cleared, suggestions can be made to help out the situation

Hi there,

Well, I took lou-lou to the vets, she seems to now have an infection of her colon - the nurse called it sandpaper bum (or something) so she's on some medication for the next week or so.

The vet has ruled out any issues with her urinating though. Hmmmmmm........

I have resorted to laying a sheet of tin foil across each sofa, so, we shall see.
