Cat Forum / General Topics / August 2004Discourage Cat Unrination??
Our cat has made a second litter box of our spare bedroom, what can we do to keep him from wanting to return to the room and urinating? The problem originally came from bad litter box maintenance, but we have remedied that problem. He just seems content on going in there when he places. He has already destroyed 2 complete sets of bed linens.  SignatureThis message was written on 100% recycled spam.

You have two choices. 1. Get used to it. 2. Lose the cat. Once a cat starts doing that, there is nothing you can do to stop it. Steve That's wrong, any cat will respond to costructive behaviour shaping.

Duct tape his penis shut. Be sure to remove it once a day so he can piss in the proper place. Put a real litter box in the spare room. >Our cat has made a second litter box of our spare bedroom, > | Put a real litter box in the spare room. > | > | >Our cat has made a second litter box of our spare bedroom, > | > | Before you go to that trouble, make sure the old litter box is cleaned out regularly. If you let the poop pile up, many cats will simply go elsewhere in protest. This can also be a sign of illness in some cats -- they are trying to get your attention because their plumbing isn't working right. For example, our male cat once had FUS (feline urinary syndrome) and dribbled pee on a floor mat in our kitchen while my wife was there to show us that he was having a problem peeing. A trip to the vet plus a change of his diet and no more problems since for him or us. Of course, some cats are just onery.... >> > >Our cat has made a second litter box of our spare bedroom, what can we >do [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > >Steve Very poor, and incorrect advice. Almost all litterbox problems can be solved, often with very little expense and time. Is there a shelter by you with a cat behaviorilist? We have one who does not charge anything and will discuss several things with the person to get to the root of the problem.

You can do nothing to keep him from "wanting" but you can keep in from "returning" by closing the door. >The problem originally came from bad litter box maintenance, but we have remedied that > problem.

An enzyme cleaner may eventually get rid of the smell but if you've tossed 2 sets of bed linens I would imagine the mattress is toast. You may eventually be able to let him back in once a long period of time has passed which will break the habit and the odor is completely eliminated. Of course this is dependent on you're continuing to keep his litter box clean so he doesn't look for alternatives. W : He has : already destroyed 2 complete sets of bed linens. toss the mattress, close the door, litterbox retraining! Closing the door is step 1. My cat was doing this on a stair landing (she's diabetic and has some control problems) and besides cleaning with the enzymatic cleaners mentioned here, I covered the landing with a ScatMat which delivers a low-voltage (9v) shock when stepped on. It doesn't hurt but sure kept her off of the steps. In addition, some retraining might be in order. I carried her to the litter box after each meal and now she goes immediately after eating and pees right away. You can find the Scat Mats on eBay. > Our cat has made a second litter box of our spare bedroom, what can we do to > keep him from wanting to return to the room and urinating?

That will probably cost you a rug and anything else fabric that it hit. But if it smells to the cat like its "spot" it'll be back.. Consider a door closer.. Not exactly. A cat doesn't return to to scent unless it knows there are others around, that are competitive. A cat, indoors without scenting by others (esp. female) will NOT perform this behaviour. If it's an indoor cat, keep others away, using humane methods. I suspect a "powerplay", though - and this is a popular cat-tactic, when they feel like they are powerless. Try some empowering of the cat without diminishing yours. There are many web-resources available for this. > > Our cat has made a second litter box of our spare bedroom, what can we do to > > keep him from wanting to return to the room and urinating?

Our Rocky (RIP) started peeing on the bed at one point. By careful observation we determined he did it every time he came asking for attention and we ignored him. All it took to stop him was fifteen seconds of attention when he wanted it. Nephew had a cat that would pee on the bed every time the big bully cat picked on it; he had to give that one to a calmer home to stop the problem. SignatureBoth Kerry and Edwards announced their candidacy near the beginning of September, 2003, so let's only count votes before then. From January, 2003, to August, 2003, Senator Edwards didn't vote 69 out of 320 opportunities (~22%) and Senator Kerry didn't vote 182 out of 320 opportunities (~57%). <http://www.mwilliams.info/archives/001349.php |
