My Kitten Keeps Peeing Everywhere

[3katcouple]

My kitten pees everywhere but her litter box. She will poop in it but won't pee.

Her two older siblings have shown her to pee in the litter box but still refuses to pee in it. Help

Hello and welcome to TCS. How old is the kitten?

 

[3katcouple]

Thank you. She is about 2-4 months

So somewhere between 8 and 16 weeks?

If closer to 8 weeks, she could just be a slow litter box learner. When she pees outside the box, soak it up with a tissue and put the tissue in the litter box, and let her smell it. Then gently use her paw to cover it with litter.

If she's closer to 16 weeks, you might want to consider a vet checkup to ensure she doesn't have an UTI.

Well she will poop in the box. But she will be playing and stop wherever and just pee, she doesn't exactly attpt to go to the box

Maybe try putting her in the litter box after she wakes from a nap. Or after she eats or drinks water. And, again, if you think there might be something medically wrong with her, check with your vet for their advice.

Always rule out UTI, then move to behavioral issues.
