I have three old cats, all of whom are peeing and pooping outside the box on my newly renovated apt. I even had a special litter drawer with three pans in it built for them. They use that but also use various spots on the floor. It's a small apt. and I'm starting to feel like I live in a big litter box.
I am SO TIRED of coming home and cleaning up their messes. I have wee-wee pads all over my apt now and it's getting very depressing.
Jasper is 18 and blind. So I figure he doesn't always know where he is. But he also manages to make it to the litter box so I think he knows how to get there.
Teaguie is a 16-year-old stray who has always had a peeing problem, so I started keeping him in the bathroom during the day. He always used his litter in there and made no messes.
Fergie is about 17 and still very with it. I sometimes neglect him because the other two have such problems. I never thought he was peeing outside the box, but the other day while I was taking a shower he peed right where Teaquie's bed is. I suppose this was a marking behavior.
I guess I will try the cat attract and the feliway or maybe just some lemon scented tissues. BUT I WONDER IF THERE's A DIFFERENCE IN HOW YOU TREAT THE out of box experience for old cats.
Please HELP AND ADVISE ME! Thanks.
