I have 2 cats (brother & sister) who will be 9 in April of next year. I have had them both since they were 2 weeks old. I love them both with all my heart! My serious issue is with the female. She has been urinating all over our house for nearly a year. My husband and I have a 2 year old son who has caused a lot of stress in our female cat, especially since her started crawling and walking. We have tried everything we can to fix this problem and nothing is working. We have spent thousands on testing everything to make sure it is not a health issue. It's not. We spend a lot of money on Feliway wall plugins as well as a feliway color that she wears. These have definitely helped, but the problem persists. Initially she was peeing on our bed nearly daily. You can imagine the horrific smell! Not only our bed but our entire couch, our brand new carpets, my sons stuffed animals. inside my closet, on my clothes if god forbid I leave a piece of clothing where she can pee on it. We have tried multiple, and I mean multiple litters. We have been using a liter that costs $40/bag! We have tried a cat behavior therapist. Absolutely nothing cures the problem. She was peeing underneath our bed right in the very middle (we have a King bed so getting to the very center is only possible by completely removing the mattress off the bed). We could not figure out where the smell was coming from until my husband removed the mattress so we could scan every inch of the room. Sure enough she had been peeing in the same spot for months. You can only imagine the smell. I have had asthma my whole life and I feel like my lungs are on fire from inhaling the ammonia on a daily basis everywhere I go in my house. We have used the top of the line cat urine removal sprays and nothing completely removes the smell because she always pees in the spots again. There is nothing anyone could suggest we do that we haven't tried. The problem that has put me over the edge is I have noticed my son sounds like he is often out of breath. He has been sick twice where he was wheezing and needed to take Albueterol. I thought maybe he inherited my asthma, but after looking up the negative health effects of cat urine, I am horrified that my child is suffering because of the cat piss filled home he lives in. Both cats are indoor only and always have been. We live upstairs in a condo so we have no backyard. Knowing that my son could develop respiratory problems because of this destroys me emotionally. Does anyone have any info on the health effects of cat urine?? The reason I would like to get rid of both is because they have been together their entire lives. I know how hard it is to find a good home for one older cat with a peeing problem, let alone taking another with it. Please help me. I am to the point of contemplating having her put down rather than leave her in a cold and terrifying shelter. But then what about her brother? I feel so helpless. Nobody I know will take them, nobody. Please help!
