ok i have a himalayan female cat w/ a urinating problem. Now i read all the posts on cats and their peeing problems but nothing really helped because of how she goes about it. Now she has been peeing since we got her when she was 10 weeks old. She is now about 6 years and nothing works. She is litter trained and has been since we got her. She first starting peeing and we thought she was just confused. She peed on the mats in the bathroom (and i assume its because of the chemical in the mats that make them do that), and when she was younger she peed in the corners of our houses and also on me a few times in my bed when i was sleeping. Now we took her to the doctors and there's nothing wrong. The vet said she may just be insecure. He put her on some kind of hormones to make her feel like she's pregnant so she'd feel secure but that also didn't work. She was spaded when she was old enough. We do not have any other pets in the house.
After she ruined our floorboards because of her peeing, we decided to just let her live in the garage, and let her roam outside when the weathers nice. Well we have a box for her in the garage which we insulated and put nice towels down to make it comfortable, we also have an open chair on the side of the box with more towels down incase she'd like to lay on there. Since I can remember she not only saturates the towels on the chair with urine, but she also urinates all through the towels in the box and lays on them afterwards! I just don't understand what animal would want to lay in their pee. We have two littler boxes in the garage for her and she's very neat about using them. She uses one box for peeing and the other for her other business. She uses them often, but still pees on both the towels on the chair and in the box.
The vet says she's healthy and has no health problems. I'm assuming its something about marking her territory, but we have no other animals and she's been doing this since we got her. My family and I don't know what to do and it just seems like nothing works.
Any new thoughts/ideas that my family and I haven't thought of?
