You can try isolating the cats into different rooms with the litter boxes to identify who the culprit is. I’d suggest your hire a behaviorist to help and get pet insurance because veterinary assessments and services are not optional especially since urination issues can indicate problems that can become more severe and be life threatening.

Jacqueline, you need to get professional help instead of trying to problem solve this issue yourself. I am sure you think you have done everything but you have not even begun to work on the issue if everything you listed are the only steps you have taken.

Glad to hear that you had a veterinary medical check up. Now go the rest of the way and hire an animal expert or behaviorist to solve the problem.

I have a list of experts in the Resources area or you can always book a phone consultation.

Good luck and realize that behavior issues have to be addressed at multiple levels plus cleaning–and the longer an issue has existed, the longer it takes to solve.

I have done everything with a 10 month old cat who both uses her box and insists on peeing in other places – first the bathtub, then behind the TV, now by the back door. We have changed fopod, changed litter, had urinalysis done twice (it’s normal) and still this behavior persists. She has a large box that is in the same place, cleaned daily. I love her, but am ready to find her a new home as she is ruining too much of the house. Any ideas?

It is a common problem and there are tons of reasons for litter box avoidance–which is why I always suggest getting professional help.

Sometimes it is the litter, sometimes the cleanliness, at other times it can be the location or type of box.

Thanks for dropping by–hope to see you again.

I had that very problem with my cat a.k.a Fatcat. I had taken in my sisters cat for a little bit and he began to pee and crap everywhere but the litter box. I thought it was because the other cat, but he continued it after the cat was gone. There was nothing wrong medically. Then the vet asked if i had changed the type of litter i was using. That was the problem. As soon as i went back to the other kind i was using before he was going in it again. The vet told me he was just being picky. Even animals have a prevrence.
