I've read the above 'sticky' but I can't really find anything that solves my particular problem. I'm pretty stressed out right now so I hope you guys can help.
one of my two 6 month old kittens - minnie - has been peeing inappropriately.
When I got home from work today, I noticed she had pus and blood coming out of her anus. Alarmed, I phoned the vet who said she is in heat. She's already booked in to be neutered on Friday and he said she's peeing inappropriately because she's in heat. I've been keeping all our doors tightly shut but SOMEHOW she's still getting in!!!
I'm at my wits end!!! I love this kitten, she's got such a sweet nature but I've really had enough of this!!
What's worse is that my fiance and my mother say I should "get rid of her" because "once she starts, she won't stop".
The other kitten is now house trained but I simply cannot get minnie to do it outside!! I brought the litterbox back for her but she won't use it now. She loves my bed.
I don't want to have a litter box always because it's a small house and I don't want something that stinks/is visible to guests. I've tried putting litter on the grass outside and putting her out for a few hours with the door shut but it hasn't worked so far.
I have a behavioural spray which hasn't worked, a water spray doesn't work, using a citrus smelling cleaner spray thing on areas where she pees doesn't work either!!!
Any ideas on how to get her to stop? Also, how do I clean my mattress?? I've blotted and used cleaner but I'm worried about the smell staying. I can't smell anything but my mother did when she came up today, hence the big lecture on getting rid of my cat.
Will neutering her make her stop? How can I house train her?
Please help!!! I don't want to give this kitten up, she's got the sweetest nature but I can't stand this!! I love my cat!!
