Help, our cat keeps peeing on things!?

Sounds like territorial spraying - or is it actually pee like going to the bathroom pee?

Are they males or females? Males are more likely to spray. It's probably that in the absence of outside space they are re-assigning indoor territory and spraying is their way of marking out what is theirs.

Is the baby new? If so then it could be the arrival of the baby that is causing re-arrangement of the family dynamics and that will include the cats. If they often pee on the baby's things more than other stuff then it could be that they are responding to her scent on stuff as if to say 'hey baby, you're new but im telling you this place is mine!'

For now, keep all of the baby's things away where they cant keep peeing on it - I know this is hard given that you need to use them all the time but it hopefully wont be for long. Then try to track each cat's bathroom movements - since they are staying in a lot more they might use the litter box more. If they still go outside to pee and poop then you can be sure it territorial spraying. If it looks like it's plain old going to the bathroom on the carpet etc, then start to track each cat as much as you can to try to find the one and take him or her to the vet - whenever cats start toileting somewhere odd then its usually a physical problem like a urinary infection that is causing them pain and they associate this pain with their litter box.

For spraying, get a feliway diffuser (or 2-3 if you have a lot of cats and a big house). This mimics cat pheromones and will make them think that everything is adequately marked and hunky dory and likely stop the spraying.

More often than not, this is a problem the CAN be solved, especially if it is new behavior. It might take some perseverance but please stick with it rather than rehome the cat - he deserves a forever home. I do understand you though, with a baby in the house this would drive me nuts! Go at it full force and investigate every possibility and im sure you will find a solution.

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...

Take a look at DearTabbyTheAnswerCat.com. They have an excellent article under "Cat Care" on "Litter Box Problems." It tells many reasons for such problems, and how to solve them. Hope this is helpful!

I had a cat the pissed on everything too. Took him to the vet, turns out he either has a bladder infection or kidney stones. So go to the vet or train it.

You could take them to the vet. Our old cat (17 years old) was very picky about how clean the litter box was, and sometimes she was just tired.

Our younger cat actually had kidney cancer, and digestive problems made it hard for him to hold it.

Move your things!!! And train it
