Background: I had a foster that has been adopted and would be around 14 months old now. She, unlike her brothers, was withdrawn and hid for about a week. She did not actively seek attention for at least 2 months after I received her. This passed and became a very loving kitten to me. She was still very shy towards people she didn't know. At one point, she had also started peeing on my bed where I sleep when I was not around. After a visit to the vet and changing sleeping in different spots on the bed, she peed in each of those spots later, I figured I was dealing with a form of separation anxiety. She was still using the litter box but would hit my bed at least once a day. I started playing soft music while I was gone, invested in a ComfortZone diffuser and started adding Rescue Remedy to her water. Peeing stopped! After a month, I discounted everything with no problems.
Today I get a phone call from the adopters. Has been peeing on the bathroom rugs, the inside door mat and the plastic under the bird cage. Also, she peed on the carpet where the husband sits. She has also become withdrawn. She wants nothing to do with the husband and burly allows the wife to touch her. She doesn't even come out for treats. At last report from the adopters, prior to this one, she was sitting in there laps and purring like crazy.
Of course, my first go to in cases of going outside the litter box is to rule out anything medical by a visit to the vet for a full exam. Nothing in the house has changed recently so I don't think that is an issue. I know many cats pee on plastic, had one that would hit every plastic bag after I went shopping and dropped one on the floor. Is there something I'm missing here? Does anyone have similar experiences in this?
