Hello, I am new here and wasnt sure where I would post a question about peeing cats, I hope this is the right spot.
Well my 8 year old grey tabby cat named Oreo, has always been the best cat never peed anywhere but her litter box. The last couple months she will scratch the floor just in front of her litter box and pee there instead, I mean one more step and she is in the litter box!!!! Also sometimes she will now pee in our front entrance. Her box is clean and there is no litter in front of it where she is peeing. Its getting bad because she is doing it lots now.
But get this we went away for x-mas for a week and took the dog (a small dog) and the 2 other cats that live here with us, we left Oreo at home here since she does not travel well. We had someone watching her and they came everyday to see her, we were gone for 6 days and she DIDNT pee once anywhere but her litter box. So she must be upset about one of the animals liveing with us but which one and why, she has lived with them for years so why now? She didnt pee while we were all gone but the night we got back she peed on the floor!
Ok I have had cats for so long I should know what to do, but I am stumped on this one.
Whats going on with her and what can I do????
THANKS MELINDA
