Question:

How do I get my cat to stop peeing on rugs?

My 4 year old cat only pees in his litter box once after the litter is changed. Then he pees on everything! From rugs, to carpet, to clothes left on the floor. We've washed every rug he's peed on, just in case it's a territorial thing, but he just won't stop.

Answer:

(I wish my cat peed on everything. He prefers to poo on things!) It sounds like the litter you're using doesn't hide his odor well enough for him. He thinks it's stinky in his litter box, and he doesn't want to go there. I know it sounds like a lot of work, but if you have the clumping litter, then try to scoop it out every time he goes, or at least more often than you're doing now. Also, sprinkle a little (or a lot, it's cheap) of baking soda before you put litter in, or just put some in now and mix it around a little. That should kill some of the odor. Good luck.
final 365 days my beautiful Manx cat Theodore went out for the night and by no ability got here back. i admire cats and the domicile did not sense an identical without one, so I picked up Lola from a rescue centre. She became very annoying and could pee everywhere in the domicile. i stumbled on Cat Spraying No More??? on the internet and the suggestions worked fantastically much in the present day. i've got not had a project with Lola on account that. mind-blowing! can not end your cat peeing interior the domicile? Then hassle not extra...
i agree with amy k it sounds like he isn';t liking the litter, my female 18 month old was doing the same thing only it was on beds. I asked around and found out some interesting things. When you wash the rugs afterwards spray an oder nutraliser like feliway or piss off this nutralises any oders that the cat can smell. Like dogs cats have a way more sensitive nose to us so he can probably still smell his urine on there. This stuff works well and can be bought from a good pet shop. Also i switched my litter to the crystals. My cats had to get used to it because they were used to the clumping litter but the crystals draw away the oder and draw the wee to the bottom so it lasts longer. Try this n see if it helps :) Good luck
Last year my beautiful Manx cat Theodore went out for the evening and never came back. I love cats and the house didn't feel the same without one, so I picked up Lola from a rescue centre. She was very frightened and would pee all over the house. I found Cat Spraying No More??? on the internet and the techniques worked almost immediately. I haven't had a problem with Lola since. Amazing! Can't stop your cat peeing in the house? Then worry no more...
