The problem child, Ako, 5 years female is fixed. We only have one other cat who is also fixed. We have 3 litter boxes (used to have 4), and have tried many things. I'll list those below, this has been going on for about 2 or 3 years now.
Switching diet to wet food, water fountain, medication (fleuoxitine), catifying the house more. Making certain there are no strays. Many vet visits. Feliaway, and a calming collar (the collar is the only thing that has done a huge improvement but that's just in attitude and not in fixing the peeing problem).
We have moved boxes (by first adding a box) to the locations that she pees in. She'll just shift to another spot. She always pees next to the box unless I have a shirt or something on the floor. She used to pee on our bed (or even her cat bed) before we moved, but now that we are in a new place it's 99 times out of a 100 always by the litter box.
I've tried the kitty attract. Doesn't do anything. I tried switching to a grass seed from a clay litter. Doesn't change anything. When I switched to the larger boxes, for a little while she was peeing in the boxes but that stopped. I recently washed the boxes with dawn dish soap and i feel like it made the problem worse. The boxes aren't that old either. Maybe 3 months tops.
I want to put puppy pads down, but im worried that it'll just encourage her to move out from the boxes further (and some of the spots are in front of the door way so that's out of the question anyways. I'm going to be doing a full shampoo with nature's miracle this week, but honestly not sure how much it's going to help since it's happened in the last 3 places we've been at, all of which didn't have cat pee.
The vet wants to try this one food that's supposed to help with cat stress urination issues. She doesn't have any other ideas, and this stuff is going to be 50$ every order. I imagine it's going to be like 100$ a month if we end up using it. Tbh I'm not sure what brand it is, but I have my doubts it'll work, or anything will work. We've seen so many vets and have tried so many things....
