Hi all.
I have two cats (one male and one female), both six years old. We moved in November and over the past few months have noticed that one or both of them are not using the litterbox to urinate. They are peeing RIGHT NEXT TO their boxes on the floor. We clean the boxes daily. Neither cats are in ill health, have been previously treated for UTI and are up to date on all shots, etc. I am at my wits end because I can't stand the smell (basement floor) and am busy enough with two little children. I can't keep cleaning up after them and my husband just wants to get rid of them.
Any suggestions? We have two litter boxes going now, could start more if needed... haven't changed food or litter in ages, no new factors to bring about strange behavior that I can think of.
TIA.
