hey, so.. i have a cat. and i’ve been trying so hard to keep her inside but my fanily lets her out when im not looking and i have no control over it. (even though they know i have full on panic attacks over it.. lmao). they do it because when we keep her inside she gets mad and pees on the furniture. well today someone tried to poison her, we think, because we found a suspicious bowl of milk in our yard. i told my mom we HAVE to keep her in now and she said she would but we need (1/2 sorry)

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.
