I have a Calico that is getting up there in age, probably 10 by now. I got her from someone who gave her up as an adult and I took her in. For the first several years of living with me she would spray. Doors, walls, furniture. I lived with my ex and we had another cat in the house. I understood and figured it was a territorial thing, and eventually got her to stop using sensors that would flash and make a loud noise. I've had to tear out carpet, throw out furniture and other things because of her spraying and not catching it in time. Ex moved out, took the other cat with him and she stopped. She had the house to herself and would only poop on the floor if she was mad about something, which wasn't often.
Well, the past two days she has started outright spraying again. Once on the curtains and once on a door, both times right in front of me. She has food, water, clean cat box and plenty of attention. I'm taking her to the vet next week, but can anyone help with what could be causing her to do this?
Side note - we are having the kitchen redone due to mold and there are some items from the kitchen in the family room, but she can navigate around them easily. She cannot jump up on furniture anymore due to hip issues, but we bought her stairs for the couch and we put her on the bed with us. I don't want to go through this again.
