My cat Ferrix has been urinating outside the litter box 2-3 times a day over the last week, and is honing in on things with my scent. The bed (I've gotten peed on while sleeping twice now) and the one spot I always sit on the couch are the two major offenders.
Before anyone asks: yes, it is a medical issue but there's nothing to be done. He's in palliative care at home for kidney cancer until I make the final call ): I tried all the usual things for improper elimination, got several new low-sided open litter boxes, using feliway, and extensively cleaning all sites with a heavy enzymatic cleaner etc but they're not really effective in this situation
I'm a little at my wit's end. I don't blame Ferrix at all, and it breaks my heart that he's specifically doing it on things with my scent, but I can't keep this up. I just looked into cat diapers, especially the male belly bands since he is still pooping normally. So much of the information I find is about dogs, and most of the diapers I can find are for dogs
So I was wondering if anyone had experience with diapers for cats, if small dog belly bands work okay, and any recommendations for brands and types. And if you've used it, how long did it take for your cat to get used to it?
