Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2005Help needed with kitty peeing problem.
A friend of mine has a problem with her cat peeing all over the apartment. She says it's been getting worse for months - the cat will pee anywhere and everywhere... she took it to the vet the other day and the vet said that it doesn't have a bladder infection, and it's probably behavioural. They said that she could either give the cat kitty-prozac to try and tranquilise it, or return it to the animal shelter where she adopted it because it's obviously not happy living with her and having to be left alone in the apartment for most of the day while she works and studies. She's horribly upset about all this, and there's got to be a better answer! Can anyone help her?

She could try Feliway, it comes in a spray and plug in diffusers. http://www.vpl.com/cgi-bin/vpl.cgi/scan/fi=products/st=db/co=1/sf=category/se=Be havior/op=eq.html SignatureAdrian (Owned by Snoopy & Bagheera) A house is not a home, without a cat. >> A friend of mine has a problem with her cat peeing all over the >> apartment.

I should have thought of that... I passed your message on to her. Signature~Karen aka Kajikit Crafts, cats, and chocolate - the three essentials of life http://www.kajikitscorner.com > Thanks!

Has she considered getting another cat to keep him company? I mean, if he's peeing because he's bored/alone, that might help. :) Victor >> Thanks! I should have thought of that...

I >mean, if he's peeing because he's bored/alone, that might help. :) That's the first thing I suggested to her, but alas she lives in one of those all-too-common apartment buildings where you're only allowed to have one cat. It seems like a really stupid rule to me - don't they know that cats are MUCH more trouble taken singly than in pairs?! I know we're having trouble finding an apartment which is happy for us to have our two cats without charging a fortune for the privelege :( Signature~Karen aka Kajikit Crafts, cats, and chocolate - the three essentials of life http://www.kajikitscorner.com > A friend of mine has a problem with her cat peeing all over the > apartment.

This link will give you more info. http://www.apbc.org.uk/article10.htm Alison Get another cat, or try leaving on the radio or TV and making sure the cat has lots of toys available so he is stimulated even when alone. (Nocturne was SO CLINGY when left alone all day and getting Smokey didn't fix much...only when we got the bitties did she manage to tolerate our jobs/school....) --Fil >> A friend of mine has a problem with her cat peeing all over the >> apartment.

I'm wondering if it could possibly be a food allergy? Can't they cause behavioural problems like this? She hasn't changed the cat's diet, but I know allergies can crop up at any time...
