OK, I AM AT MY WITS END HERE. I have posted about a BILLION times about my cat and his peeing problems. I am SO close to taking him to the pound today and washing my hands of the whole damn mess. I CANNOT DEAL WITH THIS!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is what he is doing:
We have hardwood floors throughout the house. In the living room I have a very large area rug that covers most of the wood floor except for about 2 feet around the perimeter. The entryway by the front door has no rug and is bare wood. Smokey keeps peeing on the edge of the rug where it stops at the entryway. REPEATEDLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here are things I have done to stop it:
Trip to the vet, negative UTI, got antibiotics anyway and gave them all to him
Added 2 more litterboxes to the 4 we already have
treated area with an enzymatic cleaner wood and rug(about 20 times)
Bought a Feliway plug that is plugged in RIGHT next to where her pees
I put a throw rug and a plastic runner over the cleaned pee spot and now he pees on that too
Now, it has been awhile since I had the idiot at the vet the first time, so I am going to take him in again to make ABSOLUTELY sure that there is nothing wrong. I am not working right now and it is really straining the budget to keep taking him, but I am trying to give him a fair trial so to speak. However, I cannot have him keep doing this! I have a 2 year old and a 2 month old and they cannot be raised in an unsanitary home. We have 2 other cats in our house an neither of them have been doing any of the peeing, just Smokey.
So, anyone that can tell me a few other things to try, I am willing to try them as I REALLY do love this kitty. I don't want to get rid of him, but I WILL if he keeps peeing on my floor.
Thanks so much,
Ashlee
