If the vet has already checked for a Urinary tract infection and kidney problems then I would say it's probably an environmental stress issue for her. It could be anything from you changing how often you clean her box, what type of litter you are using, getting her a new litter box, if you've moved it in the house, any timing schedules changed (working different hours), new people in the house, people leaving, any other pets, new baby, new furniture or even sometimes they can be so sensitive moving furniture around a lot can mix them up and cause stress. (sounds silly I know, but some cats are just overly sensitive) If it's not any of that, and she's been checked thoughroughly by the vet I have no other suggestions

Last year my beautiful Manx cat Theodore went out for the evening and never came back. I love cats and the house didn't feel the same without one, so I picked up Lola from a rescue centre. She was very frightened and would pee all over the house. I found Cat Spraying No More� on the internet and the techniques worked almost immediately. I haven't had a problem with Lola since. Amazing! Can't stop your cat peeing in the house? Then worry no more...

It is probobly because of her old age. Try putting the litter box in that corner. Natures Miracle for Cats is the next best alternative to help. Sprays really don't help much though. Also, did you change the litter? That can cause a cat to use a different spot.

A common problem im afraid, they can smell where they've been before and most sprays dont really get rid of the ammonia. I have seen a specific spray that does get rid of the ammonia, but cant recall what its called. You could try putting something on the spot where they go, like tin foil as they dont like the splash back! Good luck

are you keeping her litter box clean?? sometimes when they use the bathroom in other places it's usually because the litter box is dirty. if not, then i don't know what you could do for her. are there other cats in the house? she could also be stressed.
