Hi all,
I have three cats - all neutered males. The 'middle' cat is a 2-year-old neutered tom who really likes peeing in the bath tub.
We took him to the vet when he first started it 18 months ago and the vet said he was healthy, so it was just behavioural.
We have 5 litter boxes, all different types of litter, in various spots around the house AND he has garden access to pee there too. He does use these boxes but prefers the garden/peeing outside.
He only ever does it when I am in the bathroom with him - eg. if I am peeing (in the toilet, I might add!) or when I have just got out of the shower. When he was a kitten he tried to pee in the toilet a few times too, so I think maybe he thinks that's just where we all pee? On big, ceramic things in the bathroom? Or, he is quite dominant so I think he might think that's his own private toilet?
I'm going to take him to the vets again, but should I be worried? I don't mind so much because we're about to replace the bath soon and when the bathroom is fitted will add another litter box there too.
(just to add, none of the other cats are blocking access to the boxes because they are all over the house. Although, one of our cats like very rough play and does sometimes like to jump out on him. So maybe he figures this is the only place he can pee in peace?)
