My situation is very similar to what @TJAnonymous is dealing with.
I have 2 cats there were adopted at from the same shelter aprox 4 years ago. Aurora is older, she is aprox 12 and Mulan is 4. Mulan exhibits play behavior for the most part, crouching down and taking off to chase Aurora but Aurora wants no part of that and won't ever engage and finds it annoying. It does seem that sometimes Mulan gets very jealous even though we try to drain her energy by multiple daily play sessions. We can play with her for 15 minutes steady and then after that she will go after Aurora and chase her trying to up on her side like she's trying to ride her like a horse. Eventually Aurora goes to high ground and it's over with. There is never any biting, or growling.
The past 2 weeks Aurora has started peeing in our basement on the area rug where we have a spare bed. My husband gets really hot so he has been sleeping there for the past 4 months and she is super bonded to him. I noticed there weren't any pees in the litter box last week 1 day. That evening she peed right infront of us on the rug. I took her the very next day to the vet, did a complete work up, blood was all normal, thyroid normal, she was diabetic but is in remission and Blood glucose was all normal. I also home test her weekly so I knew she wasn't back diabetic. They did a urine sample thru needle and sent it for culture and gave her a shot of convenia. We came home and that night she did pee in the box but over night I saw on the security cameras I set up by that area that she peed on the carpet again. I figured maybe it would take another day or two for the convenia to do it's job so I wasn't too upset. I did get a 3rd litter box and put it right next to the carpet she was peeing on and she started to use that box. She's been really good the past 3 days using that litter box but today, in front of my husband, she went into the box, sniffed around, got out and peed right next to it on the rug again. What the heck! The vet called and said the preliminary culture results showed no infection at all though her urine was cloudy so she said it was possible that she still had something brewing.
I have read about using D-mannose - what about slippery elm bark? Which is better?
How much would I use and how often? I also went out and bought 2 of the feliway multi cat diffusers and have 1 upstairs where Mulan spends most of her time and another for Aurora in the basement plugged in next to where she has been peeing.
I'm at a loss - is this behavioral or medical? The vet said if the peeing didn't resolve she might need an ultra sound - I don't believe she's ill - seems like she's on edge - wondering if perhaps some kitty anti anxiety meds would help?
I don't know anything about CBD oil for inappropriate peeing.
