Hi everyone, I'm new. I saw the pinned thread about the peeing problems, and it was weird seeing that as that is the only reason I came to this site. Well, not all of my questions were answered, so I guess I'll post here.
I have a cat who is probably about a year old, maybe a year and a half. Her name is "Mini" because she's kinda small. She is already a grandmother, and I've never had a problem like this before. My female cat Mini started urinating on different places in my house, and I noticed this last year some time. I've never had a problem like this with any other cats that I've had over the course of my life. What she does, is she backs her behind up to lets say like a door or something, and she urinates on it. She's done it to many things, including doors, my floor-standing speakers, walls, chairs, everything basically. I don't think she is "spraying" because wouldn't she have to be a male for that to be spraying? She's a female. When she urinates on different stuff, she doesn't squat either, she just backs her behind up to whatever she is going to urinate on and lets it go. I think it projects straight out of her behind in a straight line, like it said in the pinned thread. I think I may have figured out why she is doing this, because last year I noticed that where she was urinating, we had white floors (in the bathroom) and when we would wipe up her urine it would be red. Does that mean that she has a urinary tract infection because her urine is red? It may be blood, I'm not sure what it is. But the thing is, I read in the pinned thread to bring your cat to the vet and tell them what was going wrong but I don't think my family can afford to bring her to the vet, especially myself because I'm just a jobless teenager. Is there anything we can do to stop her from urinating on everything? I don't think her urine is red anymore though, because we haven't noticed it being red when we clean up after her. So yeah.... I don't know what to do, I don't think my family will want to spend more money on a cat when they're in a financial situation as it is. What can I do?
