I've read all the info on inappropriate peeing/pooping problems so I don't actually expect new advice; I'm just hoping for sympathy. We got Sancha from the shelter a few months ago and had no problems until the week before our Alaska trip. I got up in the morning to get ready for work and found a pile of poop in the middle of the couch. Ack! Cleaned it all up. Two mornings later, get up to leave for Alaska, and find another couch pile. Crap. Literally! Notify pet sitter, get back from Alaska and find note from day before (last visit by sitter) saying "no problems". Sigh of relief. Walk into bedroom. Find pile of poop on the middle of the bed. AHHHHH! Sigh. Clean it up, put sheets in to wash, sit on couch and sigh again, get back up to go to the bedroom, which Sancha is just coming out of . . . AHHHHHH! Apparently we didn't appreciate the previous offering enough, because she's left us another one. Clean it up again, this time shut cats out of bedroom until enzymatic spray has time to work. Decide maybe Sancha doesn't like Feline Pine, so I fill one of our three boxes with Swheat Scoop. She digs in it like a maniac, so I thought I had it. Two weeks go by; no problems. This morning, she's peed on the couch. Groan.
I have three boxes for two cats. Maybe I'll fill a second one with Swheat Scoop. I've used enzymatic cleaners for all of the incidents. I've called the vet again over the latest pee incident, but I'm betting this is all mental. For one thing, why no problems for long stretches, and then all of a sudden she's done it again? Plus, we have a big couch and I almost always sit in the same spot. That spot is EXACTLY where she is peeing and pooping. Is she mad? Sad? Wha'd I do?! Deep breathing. I'm trying to remind myself that this is the only "problem" in our lives right now, so I should keep things in perspective. *bonks head on desk*
