Hey im new on the site, im having an issue with my 4 year old cat Scampi, she has never had a problem with peeing around the flat until the last 6 months or so but its proving tough to stamp out, she will use her box when she wants too, but other times she will choose to pee at our front door, or at the cupboard door in my room, and recently she has pee'd against my bed when ive been sleeping.
I've had her to the vet for blood works but nothing came up and she has been dressed, i see her peeing in her box and she never looks or sounds in pain so im pretty sure its not a medical thing. I have caught her before and its definately spraying as she pee's with her tail up and when i do find out she has done it again its all over the door where she has sprayed. I've caught her in the act and stopped her, i have a spray can of air that i use when she is bad, she just hates the sound of it i dont actually spray her with the air, i have done this when ive caught her but it doesnt seem to put her off.
I have bought special cleaners but its very hard to clean as we have hardwood flooring but there are no edges around the skirtings so the pee can drip down, im hoping i dont need to lift all the flooring to sort this out and i have just ordered some feliway after reading some threads on here. I have resorted to sticking air fresheners to the front door but they only put her off for a little bit.
We live in a bottom floor flat so she gets out, and we try and leave the window open as much as we can, as you will know a cat does not take no for an answer when she wants out! I think this may be related to the fact that she wants out but cant do when we are not in, or when we are asleep, she will actually come back into the flat when she is out to use her box and then go happily back out! Its just very frustrating as the cat is like my baby, she sleeps under my arm every night but if she keeps peeing against my bed ill have to lock her out the room, i cant imagine this will help much, it wont help me sleep either!
Any suggestions at all that could help me out?
