hey, so.. i have a cat. and i’ve been trying so…
So… our one cat Oscar started peeing on things. We tried everything. Took him to the vet, everything was medically okay. Multiple litter boxes. So basically we’ve resigned to keeping him in one/two rooms with a litter box and his bed and he doesn’t pee on things
a way to keep her inside without her peeing on everything. my mom and sister are out all day, and i’m physically disabled so i can’t be running around playing with her (and we don’t have much money because of my medical bills 😦 ). i tried building a cat tower out of cardboard boxes- and she likes it!! but she’s STILL peeing on everything because she’s mad that we won’t let her out. it’s so bad that she waits at the door meowing and darts when anyone opens it. do you have any advice? (2/2)
Cats don’t like their pee on things any more than you do. You might want to ask an actual pet blog, but I don’t think your cat is peeing on things because she’s mad, I think something is wrong. Cats don’t really do things out of spite.
Where is her litter box? It might be too loud there or not secure enough for her to feel safe.
Is it covered? She might want to change that.
Is it kept clean? That’s a big thing- cats need clean litter boxes.
Can you try more than one litter box, see if that helps?
Is there any way it’s a medical issue? Maybe she can’t help peeing where she is.
As far as toys, look into how to build puzzle feeders for cats, that can be really cheap and should help keep her entertained. You can also hide food around the house for her to look for. Or buy some ping-pong balls, cut holes in them, and put food inside. Basically, give her things to hunt.
Consider toys on the ends of long sticks that can be used while sitting/lying down.
Most likely it’s a behavioral issue, like Oscar’s is, which is EXTREMELY hard to fix. First line of defense is take her to the vet and go from there
