Good evening, we have an adult female 3 legged cat whom we adopted a few years ago from a friend who could no longer care for her. She is our only fur baby and a great addition to our family but unfortunately she at times likes to pee in the kitchen, on her new toys, on my shoes or anything that is on the floor that isnt usually there. She has 2 litter boxes (she poos in one and pees in the other when shes not peeing on the floor) we came to the realization she needed 2 boxes when she started peeing next to the litter box with poo in it instead of inside of it.
A little back story of her regarding her previous owner, she was not the only female cat with her previous owner, they had 1 other female who used to "bully" her when she would try to use the litter box and I do feel as though this is why she is urinating in the house. Also would explain her peeing on her toys. I believe she has some PTSD when it comes using the litter box. Also her previous owner somewhat trained her to pee on the concrete on their balcony, which is probably a big part of her issue also as she does not know any better.
She does pee in the box most of the time but about 2 times a week she pees somewhere else, usually in the kitchen right in front of the laundry room where her litter box is. We cant have a bath mat either, no matter how many washes or new ones we got she peed on them. Like I said we have had her for a few years now we are trying to break her if this habit but knowing she has PTSD or anxiety pertaining to her litter box we need help. Also I dont want to put my cat on prozac so any suggestions will be greatly appreciated, thank you!
