Urinating on Floor instead of Litter Box

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

We adopted a 8 mos calico about 1 mos ago.  I noticed that occassionally she drips poo on the floor and gets on places where she lays.  ( I have to put a towel on chair she mostly sleeps on)

Well today my cleaning lady ( who I have comes once a mo to clean my wood floors good) called me said she found about 5 or 6 spots of urine on the floor.  Why is she doing this?  She has 2 littler

boxes available for her to use that is always clean.  Please adise  me on what to do

 

Thanks

I don't know about the poo, but when cats don't use the litter box, the first most important thing to do is get them to a vet. agree.gif If they have an infection, this is sometimes how they tell you there's a problem, and it can often be cleared up with antibiotics. agree.gif

That said, proper cleaning of the urine stains is an essential component of getting them to stop peeing outside the box. Here's an article that explains how: How to remove cat urine

Is it dribbles of urine, or does it look like she actually peed there? If you find "drips" of poop around the house, does that mean she has runny poop? Has she seen a vet since you've had her?
