What's Wrong With My Cat?
I've had my cat, Summer, for just under two years, now. I got her for free from some people that found a box of kittens on the side of a dirt road in the country so she doesn't have any shots (I'm assuming).
For the past couple of months she's been peeing in random places like on a pile of news papers, on the carpet in the living room, in the basement (which is pretty much a concrete cellar) and just 20 minutes ago she peed [b]on[/b] the coffee table in the living room.
My parents are heartless -blam!-s and want to simply abandon her the way her litter was abandoned when she was barely 2-3 months old. I, personally, think that is -blam!-ed up and don't think it's humane.
I read some things online saying she might have a urinary tract infection or she might be refusing to share the litter box with my other cat, Misiu, even though they've been fine with it until, presumably, now.
TL;DR
Cat is 2 years old, is peeing everywhere, was fine until recently, maybe urinary tract infection, I don't want to abandon her.

3 RepliesA sudden change in a cat's urinary habits are most often caused by a urinary tract infection. Other causes you must also entertain is that poor litter conditions. Try replacing all the litter. and cleaning the box. Sometimes the issue isn't with the cleanliness of the box, but rather the location. The box may be in an undesirable location for the cat, such as in a high traffic area. The box may need to be moved. Something else I have recommended in the past for friends who have had cats who have had litter issues is to place a second litter box in the house. This will give the cat a choice of where to go and an second option if they find their first choice undesirable for whatever reason. The final issue may be that the cat feels threatened by something and feels the need to mark and defend its territory. Did you add a new animal to the cat's home? A new person? Is there a stray cat in your yard that may be stressing your cat?
