I got an email from an adopter that adopted a cat from me about a year ago about problems they’re having with the cat peeing on things. They want to return him if it can’t be fixed. I have a few ideas about how to fix the problem but I’d like to get some input from others here. I don’t know how far they are willing to go to stop the peeing problem but I want to give them all the tips I can.
One thing I think is important when it comes to behavioral problems is figuring out what is causing it so please tell me what you think the cause may be.
The problem started eight months ago when the owners were out of town for four days and had a sitter come by. During those days the cats (he was adopted with his brother) had peed and popped on a recliner. After that the cat started to pee on rugs and stuff like that but it was improved by adding another litter box . But after a few months it started again and the cat have since peed on the couch and bed as well as on a sweater on the couch. It’s been happening every couple of weeks and the rest of the time he uses the litter box. The cats have two liter boxes that are scooped daily and the owners have tried different litters and are cleaning the spots.
Does anyone have any suggestions for what they can do so that hopefully this kitty won’t have to leave his home and beloved brother? Thanks
