One of my babies, Willow, has been peeing next to the litter box and in other areas around the house. I have two kitties and three litter boxes which I try to keep clean. I usually use clumping litter, so I tried switching to those absorbant crystals in one of the boxes. That worked for about a week. Normally, I catch her right after she's peed next to a box, on the newspaper. I even tried filling one of the boxes with newspaper to see if that would work (she used it once only). A couple of days ago, I watched her pee on another piece of paper, and she has also peed on some clothes (once on my boyfriend's pants and once on a shirt I put in a box to make a bed).
She doesn't do this every time, and sometimes she is quite good about using the litterbox. Should I take her to the vet? Since she isn't doing it all the time, I'm not sure whether this is strictly behavioral or if there could be a medical problem. Also, if I take her, should I bring her in at the same time as my other cat (he is always at the vet--if the vet offered frequent flier miles with every visit, I could be in Hawaii right now) or should I take them in separately? Willow and Spot aren't exactly friends but they rarely hiss at each other.
