Cats Peeing Everywhere
 
Help! What can i do to make my cats stop peeing? They are 1 yr. old,
sisters and both fixed. Are they sick? How can i get this to stop? I
change their litter everyday, feed them well, and it still happens. Mostly
on clothes in my room. But this morning it was all over the bathroom floor.

Thanx in advance

infections. Also, with two cats you should have three litter boxes. Use
unscented, clumping litter with no hoods on the boxes.


What's wrong with the hoods?

Nothing if your cats don't mind them. But some cats don't like them and
may avoid the box if present. The cat may dislike being unable to
position itself a certain way or feel confined by the hooded box.
One of the things to do if a cat avoids the box (after taking it to the
vet to be sure it isn't a urinary problem) is to change the box. Change
the litter and see if the cat likes it better, change the location of
the box, its size, its cleanliness, etc until the cat is happy with it.
:)
I had a cat once who wouldn't use clumping litter. Period. He hated it.
So we had a box with regular litter for him and one with clumping litter
for the other cat that preferred clumping litter.

FWIW, I use extra-large hooded boxes and have never had a cat have a
problem with that, but cats are such unique and finicky creatures...

A lot of cats do not like them. It is safer not to have them especially if a
cat is exhibiting problems with urinating.
