Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / February 2004need help with urinating cat
My wife and I have togather 6 cats and 1 poodle, Thankfully everybody gets along. However we do have one cat that all of a sudden decided that he does not want to pee in the litterbox, he will however pee on the littermat just outside the box. We have already take the cat to the vets numerous of times the cat has recieved antbiotics and injected antibiotics the vet says that there is no infection, he says its now a behavioral problem, and I have no idea what to do we love our animals and only want to help hime so if anyone can help please let us know. Thank you in advance Dave circa Mon, 02 Feb 2004 01:38:09 GMT, in rec.pets.cats.health+behav, David Reed (dreedebf@verizon.net) said, > My wife and I have togather 6 cats and 1 poodle, Thankfully everybody gets > along.

Maybe the one you're using is too high, or is enclosed, or he just doesn't like it. How many litterboxes do you have? Laura  SignatureI am Dyslexia of Borg, Your a.s will be laminated. We have 1 litterbox for every 2 cats i forgot to mention that when he pees on the mat he will go in the litterbox and scoop out litter to cover the urine. this guy is a full grown male that we found as a stray about 2 years ago we believe also that he was just an outside cat but we now keep him indoors we think its best for him. thanks > circa Mon, 02 Feb 2004 01:38:09 GMT, in rec.pets.cats.health+behav, > David Reed (dreedebf@verizon.net) said, [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Laura I would add more litter boxes. Make sure they do not have hoods on them. If he was an outside cat, maybe he would prefer some dirt mixed with the litter. The rule of thumb is one litter box per cat plus one.

Aside from what Gail mentioned, it may be that the litterbox is too small for his tastes. Can you try a bigger one that is very low? Laura SignatureI am Dyslexia of Borg, Your a.s will be laminated.
