Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / July 2004Cat peeing in sink
I posted earlier about Stella, my 8 month old kitty scratching in the sink and squatting. She only does this when I go to the bathroom, not my fianc?. Well, last night, after all the trying (she looks like she's trying to pee) she finally did. Just a little, but pee nonetheless. Happened again this morning. She is a healthy girl and only does this with me. Why would she be doing this?  Signaturerach She's just a baby. Maybe she's theorizing that she wants to pee like the humans do - down a hole with water and since she can't fit in the toilet - that the sink is cat-sized. LOL. Try picking her up gently when she's in the sink and relocating her to the litterbox each time. Must be a cat thing. I used to have a cat that would use the hole in the bath tub if we had managed to shut the door that led to his cat box. The pee wasn't hard to handle, but he would sh.t there too. That's a hole bunch better than on the carpet or divan! She probably thinks of you as the dominant female and is trying to emulate you.

If she does this consistantly all you would have to do to the box is scoop out the turds and flush them. -- Mark Heaely marknews(at)healeyonline(dot)com My cat-an overweight 2 y/o tabby hops up on the sink when I go to the bathroom also- not to pee but to wait for me to turn on the water. He then indulges himself in the good old h2o. He drinks like this is his only water source. I think its cute but it does make it difficult to shave in the morning. LOL I hear you there... Our cats do that too but it's teeth brushing they tend to hinder. You have to spit around two cats. Stella will also perch on my shoulder when I am brushing and last week she had her back to the mirror and her tail kept going in front of my mouth *just* as I'd be putting the toothbrush in... I'd pull back just in time and so the game went. I thought I finally had a clear path but she ended up with toothpaste on her tail. THAT took a while to get off.

Ah, it's adult Len's turn at the computer. Glad to see the disgusting juvenile isn't doing the typing today.

Since the sink holds water, it smells like water even if there is little or none in it. Cats will often pee in sinks and tubs when they have UTIs. -L. : I posted earlier about Stella, my 8 month old kitty scratching in the sink : and squatting.

[quoted text clipped - 5 lines] : -- : rach The time to worry is when it starts pissing up your leg and you thought only dogs done that. > I posted earlier about Stella, my 8 month old kitty scratching in the sink > and squatting.

When my cat, Burton, died, we should have had the following words inscribed on his tombstone, "His feet never touched kitty litter!" And they didn't. He was a wonderful cat but he never went in the kitty litter. Never. always in the tub. since we loved him so much we just put up with it. After all, it is easy to clean up. To Oo rach I had to smile at your tooth brushing incident. It makes one wondr what goes through a cats mind! Oh by the way Mary hasn't responded here yet. Kinda nice and peaceful aint it ?? circa Thu, 1 Jul 2004 11:48:11 -0500, in rec.pets.cats.health+behav, Len Albrecht (south1961@webtv.net) said, > To Oo rach > I had to smile at your tooth brushing incident.

Len, after seeing the tone of most of your posts, I don't think you have a lot of room to critique the behavior of others. I've seen a total of two pleasant posts from you so far. How about if you do a little less fishing to piss Mary off and focus on proving that you, yourself, are not a troll? I'm quite sick of seeing this little flame war get stirred up again just when it looks as though it's about to die down, and I'm tired of watching people whose posts and apparent personalities I like very much snipe at each other. So far, you've done little to demonstrate that your sole purpose here is not to stir up adversarial behavior. Don't behave like your son does, or some may think that your son is a work of fiction. Laura SignatureExperience is the name every one gives to their mistakes. -Oscar Wilde I have Mary killfiled. Life is too short to bother with people like that.

What a vile person. circa Thu, 1 Jul 2004 17:00:08 -0500, in rec.pets.cats.health+behav, Len Albrecht (south1961@webtv.net) said, > Lauras going in my killfile. What a vile person. Why, because I asked you why most of your posts sound like you're trolling? Good god, grow up. There was *nothing* vile about my posts to you. You must be a troll, because no sane adult behaves like you do. Laura SignatureExperience is the name every one gives to their mistakes. -Oscar Wilde > Lauras going in my killfile. What a vile person. Well, it's - obviously - up to you, but she often has good ideas & will share whatever knowledge & experience she has, re: cat care/health. Cathy She's been a big help to me on many occasions. To each their own though. Signaturerach > Lauras going in my killfile. What a vile person. I agree she is helpful > She's been a big help to me on many occasions. To each their own though. You bet, jackass. Somehow I missed this entire thread! LOL! |
