Hi all, at first it started when we'd leave the door open to our bathroom in the bedroom. If my cat got in there, she'd immediately pee on the bathroom rug. We solved that problem by making sure the bathroom door is closed at all times. This started maybe a year ago. Next, if a towel was laying on the floor, say next to the washing machine or if someone laid a shirt or some other clothing item on top of the washing machine, she'd pee on it. Her litter box and food are currently in the laundry room. The food on top of the dryer which is next to the washer I keep it in here so my dogs can't get into the box or food. Why she would urinate so close to her food, I don't know. A few weeks ago we had to kick her out of the bedroom at night because she peed in between us in the bed at 4 in the morning. I woke up to the smell of cat urine and her scratching at the covers trying to cover it up. Ewww gross!! So that brings me to this weekend. We went out of town for Christmas from Thursday morning until Sunday morning. Well, we found she had peed on the couch cushions in two places. When I'm home I try my best to clean her box daily, but maybe this weekend was attributed to a dirtier box than normal? She sleeps on the couch and she also slept on my bed with me so I don't understand why she'd pee where she sleeps. I also can't leave a basket of laundry ready to fold or ready to go into the washer sitting out in the living room unattended because she'll pee on that too if she finds it.
Yesterday after discovering the accident on the couch, I purchased a second uncovered box to put in the bathroom. The old one is covered.
She uses her box just fine when she doesn't have any of these other places to go. I'm wondering if she's trying to get back at me for something. I just don't know what to do besides what I already did, and that was get a second box for her.
