Some cats do not like the rubber smell and they pee on it. I confess that it may not matter. I would first be sure to clean the rugs I have following the enzyme cleaner directions and then spray the rugs with a citrus smell. If that doesn't help then buy one, cheap rug without rubber to test...

The advice doesn't really change. She must be sure there are no urinary tract problems. The rugs must be THOROUGHLY cleaned using an enzyme cleaner such as NOK OUT or throw them away. If we are talking about throw rugs, get new ones without rubber backing. Then the retraining begins. I like...

I understand the allergy problem. I was so allergic that all the nurses came to look at my reaction to the cat test. I took cat in my allergy shots and that helped me to visit homes with cats. When I got my cat, I bought a Cat Playpen-a spacious multi-level cage. I put it in a room away from my...

THERE IS HOPE! Three months of this problem and we may have an end. I followed the advice given here and also found the source of the stress that I believe led to the innappropriate u Unfortunately, it has not been a totally pleasing solution. #2, Annie, is now in "foster care". She will...

My vet suggests 1 1/2 boxes per cat and two kinds of litter. Of course the boxes must be clean. Good luck. Read the available links.

I have one cat who backs up in the litterbox and poops over the side( thank goodness not every time). A bigger or taller box helped. Also putting the box in a corner so she can't back up thateasily.

Tumbalina is on Valium for a month. She checked out fine at vet. I have not seen any urinating or pawing on rug. She also became more assertive and is sharing space better. I wonder if I should consider Rescue Remedy after the Valium or wait to see if she stays ok.

Vet says no uti. He suggested a territory problem between the girls and medication for them. I tried Buspar before. Now I will try Valium. I think it will end up I find a home for the non-urinationg cat. May be Tumbalina will stop when she is once again the only cat.

Thanks for responding. Yes, my cats are Cornish Rex. We just returned from the vet. Tumbalina is physically fine. He agrees that it is a territory thing. She was my first cat(one year old) and the breeder felt she would do well in a single cat home. A year later the breeder begged me to take...

I have a female whom I saw peeing on my carpet. I had this same problem with both females using the throw rugs in my previous home. i finally gave up on throw rugs. I will take to vet again, but I am truly discouraged. Do females get along together? She was very tough on #2 when she joined us...

I am qite allergic to cats. It used to take just 15 minutes in a house with cats before i was ill. I took allergy shots as my friends all had cats. I now have two Cornish Rex. Before the breeder would let me buy my first, I spent 3and a half hours in her home, playing on the floor with her many...

One of my cats has EAR WAX and the vet did clean her ears- $15 charge!! He gave an antibiotic, but she reacted poorly. He suggested cleaning with 50/50 mix of aplle cider vinegar and distilled water. It works fine- though she hates it. He said, "Whoever controls the ear, controls the cat. So...

I am new. I have two Cornish Rex females- 3 & 4 years old. I have posted to behavior about a problem. Response was excellent.

tried a pure cotton rug- urinated on. took up all throw rugs untill I get enzyme washed. they are using the litter box regularly- I doubt the vet is needed, yet. I bought new litter and automatic box- they love THE WORLD'S BEST LITTER & seem to use the new box exclusively. (I left out a box with...

I have just discovered that my two spayed, females are urinating on my bathroom mat and small rugs at entrances. I have seeen them both do it. The one also will urinate on any paper on the floor, such as magazines or newspapers. They do not go on the bare floors (all ceramic tile) and do use the...
