Poppy is 5. We moved 8 months ago to a new build, no other cat smells. Fast forward 3 months, she started weeing on the carpets and the occasional poo. I've cleaned up ok every time and she is now restricted to the lounge/kitchen, and at night time she is allowed in my bedroom (she has wet my bed 4 times so she's not allowed unsupervised, and definitely not under the covers even if I am there).
She had ecoli in her bladder - she is blind and a bit overweight so can't clean herself and poo was affecting her bladder. She won't take the meds, although she was ok with the milder antibiotics. When she poos she sits in it and tracks it everywhere and is constantly having showers.
She has wet my carpets in different areas 5 times since Friday; she had a shower at 3.30am Saturday morning due to poo over her backside and again 9.30pm last night.
I love her to bits but I wonder (a) if she would be better in a home without other cats, with maybe an older person who isn't out working and (b) how long my mental health can deal with the constant smell in my new home, and the constant cleaning of carpets.
If it is (a), can anyone advise how I can go about it? She's such an adorable girl but pretty much just spends her days asleep on the sofa, and I sit with her when I'm home. The other two cats are now restricted to where they can go because I've restricted Poppy and it's just not fair on them.
I feel I've come to the end of my tether and I don't know how to help her now.
