My 18 year old tabby has started urinating on the bathroom floor (linoleum) rather than the box. I've started cleaning it up as soon as I see it with Natures Miracle for Cats; no change. I used to clean it with vinegar and baking soda but that was too much work.
I took her into the vet a few days ago and there was no infection showing up on the urinalysis. He suggested dumping the liter daily to see if that worked, otherwise putting out 5+ liter boxes to see if that worked.
In the past few months when she would miss the box a little, I saw it was because she was standing on the edge of the box and some of it went outside. In most cases now nothing is going in the box.
I've tried a lower box.
I haven't changed the liter - I use "World's Best Cat Liter."
The only thing I can think of is that the smell is in the linoleum because there have been times when I just wiped up the urine with water which I know realize left the odor there. I'm not ready to pull up the linoleum and I don't want to move the box into the other bathroom, MY bathroom.
Not only is this annoying but it's very bad for my back to be on my hands and knees and bending over since I have Osteoporosis.
I have 2 cats and 2 liter boxes, actually I think there are 3 out now.
Thanks for any ideas!
Ginny
