Hi I am new here and I am not sure if this has been addressed. I searched and have found some good answers on general urinating problems, but still haven't heard of this problem. My Tulip is 4 months old. She has a little problem. She wets everywhere. She uses the box fine for going potty and is meticulous and very tidy and buries and reburies even her sister's! We clean it every day. Otherwise she sits and waits. But she won't wet in the box! She wets in carpets, on papers, on the floor, even in the tub (remedied by filling with 3 inches of water every night) Her sister Loki is wonderful with her use of the box aside from her lack of skill in burying hers. Is this the problem? Do I need a second box? Tulip is the alpha of the two even though Loki outweighs and sizes her, so I wouldn't think she is being bullied. Not only that but Loki doesn't technically live here. My boyfriend owns her and brings her when he is here and we live far away so that is in spurts. Is this anxiety of a cat coming in and out of her house? She does this at his apartment as well. They love the travelling so I can't chalk it up to travel anxiety and she will do this when she hasn't travelled in weeks. I don't know I am so frustrated. She is nearing perfect. BF reminds me they are babies and therefore will do baby things such as wet outside proper places. So I am patient. I do not hit her or throw things,if I catch her in act I just say a firm No! and then place her in box praising her with a Good Kitty! You know what this does? She now associates "Good Kitty!" with being in the box and scratching around. So if I say Good Kitty any other time, she runs to the box and sits there all proud.
Sorry so long, any suggestions would be great.
Thanks you.
