Why has my cat quit using her litter box?

She's been a perfect pet for the last 12 years and only 2 weeks ago she starting missing the box. She still uses the box but now the floor too.

No big changes in our house. No extra people or any other drama to upset her. Any ideas on why she's doing this? Any suggestions on how I can get her to stop?

    I work in a Vet. office. First thing is to find out if it's a medical condition. Take her to your Vet with a urine sample. If you can't get the sample, they may be able to. Sorry, urine issues and cats is a very common and often irritating thing. But upside, is that the issue may be medical and in that case may be easily cleared up with antibiotics.

    Usually one of the first signs of a urinary infection in cats is urinating outside the litter box.

    Bring her to the vets and they'll give her some medicine!

    Good luck!
