WOW! I've followed this thread. What an ordeal you are going through and what a wonderful pet parent you are! I can't really tell you what the litter box issue is but I know it can be a combination of many things. I'm wondering if she can hold it long enough to get to the litter box? Since I don't live with her and know her full condition it's hard to tell. You probably already do this but be sure to clean the area with a good organic cleaner and not household cleaners. Get the scent out of the area if you can. It might be she just smells the urine scent and assumes it's okay to go there. Yes, sometimes cats that have been through a lot of health issues will just go... or so I've heard. I haven't had that problem with Hoot... yet. I am so happy this has turned around since the beginning of the thread. Sending you vibes and please keep us updated!I have no idea if this has anything to do with stuff that's been happening with her health, but I've caught my kitty peeing on the bathroom floor a few times in the last few days. There's some bags in a corner behind a hamper that she likes to pee on, but she knows perfectly well where her litter box is. In fact, tonight I caught her doing it after feeding her and then about 5 minutes later, she went right downstairs to her litter box and peed there too. Maybe I just kept her in the bathroom too long (I have to shut her in there because the other two cats or the dogs will go right in and eat her food). It's never more than maybe 10-15 minutes. But she's never had issues with urinating outside her box before. It's not a matter of her not knowing where her box is or the box not being clean enough. Maybe one of the other cats wet in that spot, she smelled it and assumed it was okay to go there? I've also heard before that kitties with cancer might start peeing outside their cat box, so maybe it's just that. Is just strange for her.
The best thing is a warm solution of enzyme (biological) laundry liquid or powder. Don't use anything with amonia in it as the smell of amonia lingers and attracts the cat back, ditto bleach....be sure to clean the area with a good organic cleaner and not household cleaners...
