My Cats Keep Peeing Everywhere!

autumn_meowz · Jul 23, 2018

I Have 4 cats, one died recently.. The youngest is 3, then 4, 5, and 5.. We have 3 litter boxes but one or more cats keep peeing on the floor. Me and my best friend go to the store to find stuff to clean the pee. It smells so bad i am embarrassed to have anyone over! What do i do? None of them have UTI. Only the one who passes recently did. She was 24 so it was age. But I want to know who is doing. We have been switching cat litter and i just can't stop it. All cats are fixed except one but she doesn't pee on the ground... Please help me! Thank you!

Welcome to TCS! Peeing inappropriately can be a sign of grief. The grieving cat (or dog) sometimes pee where they smell the missing loved one's scent, in a forlorn attempt to call the departed one back.
I definitely would add a box in or near the pee area. Also, make sure that all the litter is unscented.
You could try pheromone diffusers or sprays, such as Feliway, to help calm the kitties.
Could there be stray cats or wildlife outside of the areas that are pee targets?
It becomes a sleuthing challenge to find clues as to "why" and "who". Does the culprit ever pee on a pad or old tshirt or towel? You can also use one to soak up fresh pee and then put it on top of a piece of cardboard in a place where all the cats walk by. They will stop to sniff it and if it is someone else's pee, they open their mouth to put the scent in their Jacobsen's organ to identify the culprit.
