My cat has had issues with peeing and pooping outside the box for the past year (sometimes using the box and sometimes going outside the box). She is going outside the box at least once per day. We’ve tried everything. Multiple litter boxes, calming treats/sprays, lower sided litter box, etc. She is an older girl (14). We took her to the vet and he can’t seem to find anything physically wrong with her. He indicated that her kidney levels were “slightly” off but he says this is normal for a 14 year old cat/ aging process etc. She is only 5 pounds—-she’s always been a small girl. He recommended Prozac for the inappropriate peeing and pooping 2.5mg. The first day, she stopped the bad behavior and started using her box again. For 7 days straight she went back to using the box all the time—-no surprises on the wood floor. But then it seems to have started agai
Day 8—she peed on the floor. Day 11 she peed on the floor again. Day 12, she peed on the floor.
Is this because we haven’t waited the full 6-8 weeks? The behaviors stopped altogether the first week and now they seem to me coming back. Please help. My mom is going to make me get rid of the cat if she doesn’t stop urinating on her hardwood floors. This cat has been my baby for 13 years and she acts otherwise healthy and has a hearty appetite. I don’t want to put her to sleep, but my mom keeps threatening that we will need to put her down if she doesn’t stop. Can anyone please help/offer some advice?? I am desperate and extremely stressed.
