I have 6 cats ranging from 8 mos. to 10 years of age. All are fixed and for the most part get along great. We have a cat door for them to go in and out as they wish and all are trained to go outdoors to do their business. My 2 year old Calico however has decided to pee in the same spot on my tile floor in the kitchen for the last few weeks. I need help as to how to remedy this problem. I don't want to be cruel and rub her nose in it and such. Can anyone help me out with this?

I found the text in this book spot on, but the illustrations aren't helpful at all. Good over all book

This mat caught my eye because of its size and texture, which traps fine litter rather well. It's large enough for jumbo litterboxes, which is also a plus. It's not quite as easy to clean as a...

This scoop was a freebie with some clumping litter I bought last year, and I like it so much that I've bought a second one. It's perfect for fine clumping litter, which it sifts very thoroughly....

6 cats, 7 litter boxes... How many do you have? I know that is a lot, but make sure to have plenty...
Non- scented litter is also the best - what litter are you using?
Uncovered litterboxes work best - are your boxes covered or uncovered?
Cleanliness - are you cleaning them at least once a day?
Size - are they big enough?
Where are they located? Laundry room and garages are not a good place as it can startle the kitties... Closets are not good place either...
Did anything change? Litter? New kitten? Anything that has added stress in the household?
Make sure to clean the spot with a good enzyme cleaner...
Good luck!

It does sound like a UTI. Cats that start to pee on cold hard surfaces are doing it because it feels better to pee there than in a litter box. I have a cat that has chronic UTI's and I can always tell when he flairs up because he pees on my kitchen floor. I've been right 100% of the time with him.
I agree with the advice from Carolina. If all of that doesn't work, try Cat Attract litter. It draws a cat to a litter box better than any other litter out there.
