Hello,
We have two cats, one is about 2 years old and the other is about 1 year old. In the time that we have had them, we have discovered urine on a futon (same place everytime) 4 times. We aren't sure which cat it is, or if it is both of them. The incidents have usually been a couple months away from each other, but the last two have been a couple weeks apart.
My theory is that if it was a Urinary Tract Infection, this would happen much more often, rather than with months or weeks in between. I believe that it is a behavioral problem, related to us not cleaning the litter boxes often enough or the fact that we have noticed that both cats are territorial about the boxes (although they aren't territorial about anything else).
Should I take them in to get them tested for Urinary Tract Infections, or is it safe to say that this is not the case since they are so intermittant?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
