My kitten - we just got a week ago is a British shorthair x exotic (female) and is 5 months old. We were excited about getting her however, recently I’ve been disappointed. Whenever she uses the litter tray she gets covered in her own pee on her bum, legs and reproductive areas and getting it all over the house and becoming very frustrating. It appears to be she is squatting too low and getting covered but we’re unsure.
We spoke to the breeder who we got her off and this is something she was not doing when he had her just when we got her. We’ve changed her litter box and the litter being used to see maybe if that was an issue but she is still doing it. We have also then trimmed around the areas to hopefully, stop pee getting on there. We have also added more and less litter to see if that’s an issue but nothing is working and we don’t understand it why. We’ve booked a vets appointment but nothing seems to make sense. I’ve had 7 female cats in my life and none have ever done this before. Is it us, have we done something wrong or do other people have experience with this behaviour or any ways to deal with this because I am at my wits end.
