Hey there,
Firstly I would like to say that I have read the previousy posted suggestions on this topic, and I've tried practically all of them and I'm still in trouble!
A while ago my cat started peeing up the wall when in his kitty litter, so I tried cleaning the wall, to no avail. I took him to the vets and they gave me feliway spray, and said to spray it around the house to calm him down in general, that didn't work. For the sake of my wall I covereed it in some washable sticky back plastic, and even with the noise of the pee hitting the cover he still did it. Then I tried a covered litter tray and for a while that worked, I figured he could stand up as much as he liked.
Then one day I was laying on the bed and i noticed a strange stain on my Cream curtain, and on closer inspection it was pee, lots and lots of pee. ( I have long curtains that are hidden by a dresser a lot of the time) so i took it down and I washed it, put it back up and within a day he had pee'd on it again, so this time i just cleaned the stain so it wouldnt show but he could still smell himself, i figured he didn't like the detergent, but since then i have found 3 more stains on the curtain, and one on my lounge curtain too.
Then the other night I was watching TV and I keep a bean bag to rest my feet on and he sleeps on it, it's mostly his to be honest, and he jumped up on it and then he proceeded to pee on it right in front of me, just like with the lounge curtain. I cleaned it and sprayed it with feliway because i didnt want him doing that again, but when I came in from shopping today he had done a very large pee on the beanbag again.
He is also peeing on the wall by my front door, I had seen him do that once before but put it down to neighbourhood cats being near and him marking his territory, but hes peeing there so much now the paint is bubbling off the wall and im cleaning it up twice a day because the hallway reeks.
I have tried feliway, pepper, newspaper, covering the walls, giving him extra fusses in case he feels neglected somehow, the vet says he's OK health wise (maybe I should get a second opinion).
He is my only cat, and since I moved house 2 years ago he has kinda refused to make his territory here, I leave a window open for him and he doesnt venture more than 3ft from the window if he even goes out at all. Im really starting to worry that perhaps he's just not happy with his new home and would prefer somewhere else, and that would juse kill me because he is a real companion to me and I love him to bits.
Can someone please help?
