Cat Forum / General Topics / April 2006Urinating
My seven year old female cat Squeakers is urinating all over my livingroom. I acqired a male cat about five months ago and had a baby one month ago. I have moved twice and she had to become a indoor cat. Could she just be mad at me because she didn't do it at both of my other houses? I really don't want to have her euthanized but I am at my wit's end. Should I let her outside again? HELP!! WHY IN THE HELL WOULD YOU HAVE THE CAT PUT TO SLEEP INSTEAD OF FINDING A NEW HOME. THAT IS THE MOST IGNORANT COMMENT ANY PET OWNER COULD MAKE Why is it when a person has a problem with an animal they are always at there wit's end and the animal suffers for the humans stupidity! But they always come to a newsgroup to get medical advice instead of going to a professional who more inlikely has the answer or could direct you to the answers or who has them. Do you realize that this could be a medical problem! Have you even been to vet to see what can be done obviously no! IF YOU HAVE than find another vet. You have to rule out a medical problem such as urinary infection before behavioral problems can be dealt with Take a step back use your intelligence if you have any from your post I am doubting it but you have had a new baby so you could be asking this without thinking about what this would look like to other posters. HOPEFULLY THIS IS TRUE if not find your cats new homes and deal with your new baby because it is tasking you to much. There has been a stressful environment a new male cat ,a new baby you moved twice ever heard of something called STRESS. It affects cats jut like humans how would you like 2 new people moving into your house with out your permission, losing your safe environment, losing your freedom of security. Being forced into this new problem twice. having these people going thru the house making all this new noise and foot traffic. THINK ABOUT IT Take your cat to a vet before anything else > My seven year old female cat Squeakers is urinating all over my > livingroom.

I spent $300 on her to find out the problem the UTI wasn't positive. My baby isn't the problem it is my cat pissing all over my livingroom. I love my cat she is my first daughter. I would have her put to sleep because I don't think that she can live with another family and most importantly I don't want her pissing in their house. So why don't you give better advice instead of trying to humiliate people with your ignorant comments. >I did take my cat to the vet, a very good vet. I spent $300 on her to find >out the problem the UTI wasn't positive. My baby isn't the problem it is my A simple urine test is not $300. Neither is a check up. You must have had some extensive testing done. >cat pissing all over my livingroom. I love my cat she is my first daughter. >I would have her put to sleep because I don't think that she can live with >another family and most importantly I don't want her pissing in their house. You don't know that she can't live with someone else; you'd be surprised at how well animals can learn to adapt to new people and surroundings if they have to. It is egotistical to think that your cat can only live with you; I'm sure she can live without you if she has to. She may not urinate in the new owner's house if you choose someone who does not have a noisy, stressful household. If the behaviour is due to the new cat you got 5 months ago, you've had Squeaker much longer, perhaps you should consider finding a new home for him instead of her. >So why don't you give better advice instead of trying to humiliate people >with your ignorant comments. If you go into a group of cat lovers and say "I really don't want to have her euthanized but I am at my wit's end" you can expect people to be upset with you. Most people here would never euthanize their cat for a urinationa/behavioural problem. You say "I love my cat, she is my first daughter"; if that is the way you truly feel, you would never even consider killing her. You need to look at other options. I should add too, a friend of mine recently had a baby (her first) and one of her two cats started pooping on the floors instead of in the box. She gave him more attention and eventually he started going in the box again. Yes, it was hard to at first to give the cats extra attention due to the new baby but her and her husband love their cats very much and wanted to make it work. There was absolutely no discussion of euthanization, that is something that would never have even entered their minds. What a load of b@llshit. Spent 300 my a@@ so your vet did not find a problem ok either a bad vet or bull sh@t. well did the vet tell you things that you could do such as go to behavioralist or tell you what type of remedies you could do. Or are you just talking out your a@@ because you realize that no one here would put up with someone like you that threatens to put animal to sleep because of problems that they have obviously caused >I did take my cat to the vet, a very good vet.

My baby isn't the problem it is [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > So why don't you give better advice instead of trying to humiliate people > with your ignorant comments. Again with the most IGNORANT response about killing that cat due to a problem that your situation has caused. You must be a very ignorant person not to even realize that what stress is caused by a newborn on all family members I did give you good advice if you would have read the rest of the message and used some intelligence but we can tell how you are just from your original post and a response. Not trying to humiliate you that would come from your post and reply. AGAIN in case your are an idiot. -> Take your cat to a foster family or a vet that knows how to deal with behavioral problems if your other vet did not do what needed to be done. IMO Don't have any more animals or children. you have to much on your plate as it is and unfortunately the cat is suffering for it hopefully the child won't suffer because your lack of common sense. And we can only hope your child is more intelligent and insightful and a better caring animal lover than you I don't know why you have to be so rude. The vet did find that her organs were overfunctioning causing her to loose weight. I asked him about the urinatinig and he said usually they will go to the bathroom outside their litterbox whenever the litterbox is in the same room as their food. But her litterbox is on the otherside of the house so I don't know why. I spend as much time as I possibly can with her. And for the record I am not ignorant. I have a genuine proplem with my cat and I can't figure out whats wrong with her and it scares me to think that I might have to get rid of her. I just really would like to know what to do about it because she has been with me since the summer after I was in the 6th grade, July 2, 1999. Why was I being so rude This is the actual first intelligent post talking about your cat that you have done the other 2 you talk about killing your cat because of a problem. That will put anyone that is an animal lover into automatic defense mode. That is why I was being so "rude" now if you would have posted something like this post before you would have gotten a lot better response from quite a few of us. If your cat is still having a problem an animal bevioralist visit is needed and or a new vet. Did your vet give a reason why your cat organs are over functioning and or what type of treatment was prescribed Your vet is half right some cats are that way. If your cat box is on the other side of the house you may have to add some more boxes in various locations some cats like to use different boxes. or you are not keeping the box clean enough or there is a problem at the box location cans like to feel safe and comfortable Second you described alot of stress moving twice , a new baby. Now matter what you think a baby can cause serious stress in a household and a cat can pick up on that and react to it just like a human will. Plus being moved twice, new noise in the house more traffic it can freak an animal out. There is a lot here and if your vet could not help you out than either schedule to a new vet and or a animal behaviorist is necessary. Now if you have any questions you can ask now that you understand our side >I don't know why you have to be so rude.

You were "being so rude" because you are ALWAYS RUDE, Matthew! You are so quick to react and judge people. It makes we wonder how you can possibly call yourself a cat person. > Why was I being so rude > This is the actual first intelligent post talking about your cat that you [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] >> really would like to know what to do about it because she has been with me >> since the summer after I was in the 6th grade, July 2, 1999. "Cadman" <cadman@sonic.net> ZZZZZZZZ What falling asleep here sorry boring already done half attempts at humor make me sleepy <Yawn > Come on you got to keep our attentions somehow <Yawn> Sorry to keep yawing but you are getting boring. Almost ready to change the channel Nothing interesting nothing original >The vet did find that her organs were overfunctioning causing her to loose weight. If you can advise what the vet meant by this there would be people here willing to help. There are people on here who have cats that have kidney problems, diabetes, etc. but we need to know specifics. He said that her kidneys were overfunctioning and I give her some feline k/d food. >He said that her kidneys were overfunctioning and I give her some feline k/d >food. Here are some excellent sites for renal disease in cats. At 7 years old, that is quite young to be diagnosed with renal disease, perhaps it could be polycystic kidney disease - that affects younger cats, especially persians. You've find info. on it under "Causes of CRF" at felinecrf.org. http://www.felinecrf.org/ http://www.felinecrf.com/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Feline-CRF-Support/ Uhhhhh.... ummmmmmmm.... uhhhhhh, could it be that you accidentally spilled 100 bags of kitty litter all over your living room floor? Because, I think that ANY cat would be confused by that message. If so, you may want to look into euthanizing yourself, because why on Earth would you dump that much kitty litter all over your house? I mean, really. > My seven year old female cat Squeakers is urinating all over my livingroom. > I acqired a male cat about five months ago and had a baby one month ago.

The cat is probably more pissed off with you than you are with it. I had to have a cat "put to sleep" because it was ill and dying. It still hurts. > My seven year old female cat Squeakers is urinating all over my > livingroom. [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > want to have her euthanized but I am at my wit's end.

I really don't >want to have her euthanized but I am at my wit's end. Should I let her >outside again? HELP!! Anytime a cat starts to urinate outside of it's litter box, it should be taken to vet so they can take a urine sample from her. It could be a urinary tract infection which is very painful. They associate the litter box with the pain and avoid it. I highly suggest you take her to the vet first for a urine test. If she turns out to be medically okay, then you can look at behavioural issues such as stress. There is no need to have her euthanized; there are alternatives. She may be feeling jealous due to all of the changes such as the new cat and the baby and needs more attention from you. |
