Sabrina's Mom,

I took your questions out of the other thread and started a new thread just for you.

I am glad that the vet checked her for a urinary tract infection. That would be my first guess.

My second guess is that when she was in pain from the surgery she probably felt the most pain when pottying. But, instead of realizing that it is pottying that caused the pain, she thought it was the litterbox which caused her pain. Therefore, I suggest that you go out and buy a brand new litterbox and set it up in a slightly different place than her current box. Once she starts using the new box regularly, you can shift it to where you want it by moving it about one foot a day in that direction.

Also, please click here for many other ideas on how to stop this behavior.

Good luck!

thanks sooo much for the advice just went and bought a new litter box and put it in the room where she is the most and to my surprise caught her peeing in just a minute ago, thanks sooo much i appreciate it i thought i was doing something wrong and now i am sooo relieved, me and princess sabrina thank you soo much!!

How exciting! I'm glad that worked.

Make sure you use an enzymatic cleanser to remove the smell from all of her old pee spots. You might want to buy a flourescent black light and when it gets dark tonight, shine the light all over the house to find any old pee spots you didn't know about (urine glows in black light). If you don't remove the smell from old pee spots, she may decide to use those old spots again in the future.

i will do that adn once again thanks sooo much we love her very much and just wanted to make sure we werent doing anything wrong, i really thought maybe she was just doing it cause she was mad at me how silly i guess lol thanks!! your a peach!!

I might have to try that, Doku just got spayed on tuesday and last night I caught her peeing right next to the box as well!
