I'm at my wit's end with my kitty who is peeing everywhere. I want to first say, I would never ever get rid of her because of this behavior, but I need to find a solution to help my sanity and to make her happier.
She started peeing on clothes left on the ground (clean or dirty) about 5 months ago. I stopped leaving clothes on the ground in response. She then started peeing on the couch, on my bed, on bags, purses, blankets, boxes, chairs, even my kitchen table. She tends to pee on soft things.
I, of course, took her to the vet who could find no physical problem. I've changed litter, location of boxes, make sure I'm scooping every day, replacing litter every week.
I have another cat who is male and 2.5 years old. They get along really well.
Some info about my kitty:
4.5 years old.
I got her when she was a kitten from my mother's cat.
Spayed.
Length of issue: 5 months.
Other cats in household: One male cat
Number of litter boxes: 2
Last vet visit: Two weeks ago as a direct result of the continued peeing.
History of UTIs:
She has a history of UTIs and crystals in her bladder (3 known infections). Each time was a result of stress (usually tied to moves). She was treated with antibiotics and the problem resolved each time. Her last UTI was 1.5 years ago. I switched her to a prescription food which has helped. After the last visit, the vet prescribed kitty prozac. It can take four weeks to resolve, so maybe this will work, but my hope isn't very strong.
Things that changed around this time:
I moved apartments and started dating my girlfriend. Both definite triggers of stress which have caused UTIs in the past. However, the vet says nothing is wrong and things have settled since then. My girlfriend is still around so my assumption would be this is where the issue comes from, but I don't know how to make her feel better without breaking up with my girlfriend.
Any help would be amazing!!!
