Ok, this is like to 200th time I have had trouble with the cats peeing outside their boxes. Normally it is the female and she is always sick when she does it. This time it is the male and he is NOT sick.
We had to move the dogs water bowl to the front room for awhile. He started peeing on the rug that we had the bowl sitting on. So, we threw it away and he started peeing on the wood where the rug was (we cleaned the wood with a protein digesting bacterial cleaner) and put a plastic runner down. Now he pees on that!! He was also peeing on the dog bed so we threw it away as well and so far he hasn't peed where it was. He also peed on the bag that my schoolbooks were in.
HOW DO I GET HIM TO STOP??? We have 4 litterboxes and we keep them VERY clean. The only thing that I can think of that might have set him off is that we moved the dogs water bowl and we also had my cousin's 2 year old for a week while my cousin had her new baby. The toddler did not have access to the part of the house where the litterboxes were. The cat chose to come into the living room and pee in all the spots!!! I am so stressed out with these cats (the other female is throwing up all the time, she has a weight problem) that I am considering taking all 3 to the shelter and washing my hands of the whole thing. I can't have a new baby in this house if it is covered in cat pee!!!!!!! (we are expecting)
Don't get me wrong I love my kitties and am not one to just throw them away, but I am at the end of my rope here...Anyone that has an idea PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me!
