Hi,
We have 2 female cats, one Siamese Cat called Misty, and a White Cat called Mina, they are both 2 years old (almost). Misty has been neutered, but Mina has not.
Since 2 months ago, Mina started to be in heat more than ever before, like 10 days in heat, 4 or 5 days calm, then in heat again. At the beginning she didn't meaw very loud, but she's getting a stronger and stronger voice every day. So we decided to schedule operation to neuter her too, but the vet can't take her before next friday.
Our cats have always been clean, and never peed out of their litter box. However this Tuesday, Mina peed in a tissue/foam house (where Misty likes to sleep all day long) as well as on our sofa. I heard it happens to female cats to pee when they are in heat, so I just cleant hoping it was an isolated incident (I used bacterial and enzymatic cleaner specifically for cat urine). The next day, Mina peed in the basket of Misty. I treated it with the product again, washed it, and dried it (same for the foam house), and made sure there was no urine smell remaining. I put back the basket and the house for the cats, Mina went to pee again on both! I got quite angry (my wife too), and put all back to clean. Not even half hour after, I see that Mina peed on her own pillow (had to throw it away). This morning, when I woke up, I found that Mina had peed again, this time on the rug of Misty, as well as on the 2 rugs in front of the door.
I'm feeling quite desesperated, that's too many times in few days, is she doing it because she's in heat? so why she never did it before? is there a jealousy thing with our other cat Misty? I have to say we take very good care of our cats, feed them well, their litter box is well cleant regularly, and my wife stays home during the day, so they are never alone.
Will all be fine again when Mina get neutered, or is there a risk she keeps her bad habbits afterward? I heard such stories before of cats keeping to pee everywhere even after be operated.
Thanks for any advice/help you can give me,
David.
