I know there are lots of these types of threads but this situation is a bit tricky and I don't know what to do..
Sami still has bouts of diarrhea and she doesn't always quite make it to the box and goes JUST outside of it. Its not always in the same spot though, sometimes its just off to the side. This isn't the problem though. The problem is that wherever she has an accident, Buddy will pee there.
First time was off to the right of the box. It was cleaned up and cleaned with the carpet cleaner as well. The next day, there was pee there on the floor. At first I was concerned there was something wrong with him but then I realized he ONLY does it when she does and in the same spot...
I put some cardboard down to catch any other accident she may have. Eventually she did have one on the cardboard just in front of the box. Before I even got to it, Buddy peed on it. (Yuck!)
So I went on a hunt to find a better solution. A small tarp. It is under the boxes and up the wall a bit (since sometimes Sami sticks her butt over the edge). Last night she had another accident on the tarp. It was cleaned and scrubbed really well. Today Buddy peed on that same spot on the tarp and did his best to pull the litter out of the box and onto the puddle.
I have no idea what to do here. I mean if she has an accident further from the box, say in the living room, is he going to pee there? Cleaning up diarrhea is bad enough but I don't have any enzyme cleaner at the moment, since I am flat broke and they are expensive, so if he does, he will keep going there. Should I be using an enzyme cleaner where she has accidents? Or is their urine different from their feces? This is getting frustrating.
