I would really appreciate some advice.... I've read the thread on inappropriate peeing but nothing seems to apply!
Our cat was no problem to litter train initially. We've had him almost 4 weeks. He is now about 12 weeks old and on 3 occasions (2 in the last 3 days; the first time was 2 weeks ago) he has peed on our sports bags. They were 3 different bags each time (but the same sort of material) so it's not a case of him re-marking territory. The thing is, on most occasions he goes in the litter box. I scoop it out twice a day and clean it thoroughly at least once a week. Tonight he had just done a poo in the litter box, got out, miaowed at me once or twice then disappeared into the sitting room. I went after him and there he was on my partner's bag. I know his poo smells bad but it's no excuse!!
Why is he doing it?? I'm bringing him to the vet on tuesday for a vaccination and I will ask him to check for a UTI but I really don't think that's the problem as 9 times out of 10 he gets it right. We have removed all accessible bags but you know the way these things get thrown down on the floor when you come back from the gym.......I don't want to constantly worry about him doing it!!
