I just don't know what else to do.
Out door cat, buddy, has acclimated to living in doors with one exception.
She doesn't consistently use the litter box for peeing.
(I know she was an outdoor cat for years, but she does so well inside and doesn't want to go back outside. I love her. And my other furry child, Patches.)
We had gone a whole week with out an accident, and then I walked into the hallway and she has peed directly on the hall carpet. I am a renter.
This isn't the first, second, third, or fourth time. I've lost count. I have one area covered in plastic because she kept peeing right next to the litter box but not in the litter box. She uses it for #2, but not consistently for #1. I've taken her to the vet. Health isn't the issue, vet says it's behavior at this point and gave me no advise. I've cleaned, re-cleaned, vinegar, light bleach, soaked up, re soaked up, lemon scented, angry orange scented, rented a carpet cleaner, covered in baking soda and vacuumed, and covered in plastic once dry. She peed on the plastic the next day. Which was fine that's easy enough to clean, but she didn't pee on it again. It still smells like urine under the plastic. I am about to buy "Mister Max Original Scent Anti Icky Poo Odor Remover".
She JUST Urinated in the hall way, no where near any of the two litter boxes in the one bed room apartment. I don't know what to do. I don't know how to stop it. I don't know how to punish her, so I don't, but I didn't think cat responded to punishment, so I don't. I don't know how to encourage her to use the box more than I already have. I can not cover my entire apt in plastic to keep her from peeing outside the litter box. I've run out of dry towels and paper towels. I don't know what to do. I am in tears, because I don't know what to do.
TLDR:
Please, I need advise.
How to get a cat to pee in a litter box every time?
How to clean pee out of carpet? (the internet gives me a million options and conflicting information on how to clean cat pee, HELP)
