Question:

how to prevent cat from peeing in bathroom sink?

Is there any easy trick to prevent a cat from peeing in a bathroom sink? I have 2 cats and I don't know which one does it and I don't want to have to punish both. Thanks.

Answer:

I would put a sheet of aluminum foil in the sink, or even bubble wrap. Cats are not a fan of the foil, and the bubble wrap, when popped by the cat, should scare it off. How long has this been going on? You might give some thought to the litter box. I have a cat that is pretty particular about his box, wont use it if the other cat beats him to it. You might put out a second box or change/scoop more often.
Most cats do not like the smell of citrus. The oil from the peel is particularily annoying. Take lemon, lime or orange peel, and make some zest and rub it vigorously into a cloth or towel and leave it in the sink everyday for about two weeks. This should imprint on the offending cat, and hopefully he/she will no longer want to use your sink as a litter box. Try to remember to keep the door closed. Lots of 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...
Well you could always shut your bathroom door when you exit and not allow the cats into your bathroom. That would be the quickest way. you could also clean that sink very well with bleach or an Ammonia. This will get rid of their scent and might stop them from peeing in the sink. you could also watch to see what one goes in there and catch him / her climbing up on the sink and give him / her a good spanking. Cats are Extremely smart and believe me 1 or 2 good spankings will do the trick. Cats can remember over 200 different Life saving things. Cats only Remember what is most important to them and really nothing else. This is a proving fact, so by catching him /her in the act and you spanking its Azz, it will know its not allowed. * NOTE FOR THOSE WHO GAVE ME THUMBS DOWN * I know you gave me thumbs down because I said spank the cat but here is the issue. If you walked into your bathroom and your son or daughter was pissing in your sink you mean to tell me you wouldnt spank their asses. Theirs always a few in the bunch who I truly feel need their heads examined. The day I allow anyone or any animal to piss in my sink would probably be the day I did lose my mind. Not only is it absolutely gross and disgusting, its completely uncalled for and there is no need for it and anyone who feels that its not that big of an a deal well, your a slob and I would hate to set foot into your dump of a germ infested house. Hope these helped you out :)
I just spilled coffee all over my chest, reading this and LMAO. Something about drop shadoobies is hysterical. Oh god, my face HURTS. I've been cracking up for about five mins, and as soon as my eyes wander up the page, I lose it again. I thought my resident Carpet Bomber cat was bad, but I would die if she started planting landmines in the tub or sink. Okay, okay. I'm assuming that this started after Stupid Cat moved in, and that Stupid Cat and your cats weren't properly introduced. Stupid Cat has probably been ambushing (attacking or somehow intimidating) your cat while he was using the litterbox, and he's probably taken to peeing and plopping in the sink and tub because they're safe, and allow him a good vantage point or defensive position. Adding more litterboxes throughout the house might help [ideally you should have litterboxes = number of cats + 1].
