You think that’s funny? My cat Stanley once peed on my head! He had a penisectomy because he kept getting blocked. He doesn’t have a problem peeing now!

You either have to deal with it (as in pee proof your house and never invite guests over) or know that your cat may end up dead. Because really, who is going to want a cat that pees all over the place? If you can find a nice farm, maybe….

OMG! I am laughing so hard that they peed on the Feliway. Not that that isn’t totally horrible.
Because it’s super horrible.
I don’t know how you deal with this. I love my cat, and he’s clearly upset about something but seriously – if I’m not able to cure it eventually I don’t know if I can keep living with him. It’s hideous!

Thanks, Hallie. I tried Feliway when it first came out. It made my cats peed on it! At the time, it was a spray bottle you plug into the wall. So, that didn’t work out too well for me.

Also tried calming herbs like Bach Flower Remedy, etc. Nada.

They are able to go outside a lot now, which helps, but they still manage to run in the house to pee in the dog dish or something. And someone is peeing in their water dish! Why would you pee where you drink???

I hope you have better luck. Let me know.

I’m sure you’ve already been through this but the UTIs might not be why they are peeing on everything. I’ve been reading up because one of my two cats just started making my life hell by leaving little land mines all over the friggin house. So I’ve shrunk his habitat down over and over – but he still pees on things out of the blue. It’s horrible. Anyway, I’ve read so much stuff lately about it on all the crazy cat lady forums, and am now trying this pheromone stuff that is supposed to make him feel calm so he wont tell me to f off in the form of peepee. You probably have already read up on all this because you’ve been going through it for awhile now. Ugh. Good luck. Boy do I feel for you.
ps:you got a ton done! congrats.

You did!

This is just an average weekend for us. We’re getting a little tired of it, too.
