Hi, Everybody.
I'm new here and hoping somebody can help.
My Raven is an indoor kitty (with no desire to go out) who I have had for 4 years. Her time in this household is running out due to an ongoing potty problem. She pees and poops everywhere. Her boxes are in the bathroom and in the laundry room and get scooped daily, getting bleached and scrubbed out every three to four weeks. The location of her boxes has not changed and she gets privacy while using them - and she does sometimes use them. After they are scooped, they are spritzed with petzyme for cats, nutilizing any residual smell. She has been to the vet a couple of times to see if her problem is biological (it is not) and she's licked herself a bald spot on 3/4 of the underside of her tail. The vet said that was a flea thing, but it couldn't be because she gets dosed w/ Advantage about every six weeks. I have tried everything I've read here but the citrus juice (not good for hardwood floors). I don't think she's marking because she finds new places all the time - not often going back to places she's gone before.
Not sure what to do about Raven. She is the sweetest thing- she gets lots of love and grooming from us - and let's not forget the bits of cheese, because she's very spoiled. That's her in the picture - she likes to nap on my monitor - very toasty up there.
I love her to pieces and I don't want to giver her up or put her down, but things aren't looking good.
Many thanks,
Zanna
