My cats were just spayed, why are they peeing everywhere now?

It sounds like your cat might be marking, which some female cats will do. However, she should be checked by a vet to make sure there isn't a medical cause for her urination, such as a urinary tract infection or stress cystitis. Here's a link to some more information on inappropriate urinating in cats: https://www.petcoach.co/cat/condition/inappropriate-urination/

I would recommend talking to your veterinarian about checking a urinalysis on Bageara. She may just have a urinary tract infection that can be treated with antibiotics. If the urine is clear then I would recommend doing blood work on her to check her kidney values. I would also remove the top to the litter box. Some cats just don't like covered boxes.

This sounds behavioral to me based on your description. I typically recommend having multiple litter boxes around and wherever she is urinating, place a litter box right there and see if that helps. Spaying may also help reduce this behavior. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

It sounds like you have a few issues going on. First, I would ask if they are spayed and neutered? Cats start to come into heat anywhere from 6 months old and up. Their heat cycle repeats every three weeks. This could be why your female cat is acting strange. Male cats will start to develop testosterone which will cause them to do silly things... like pee in places to mark their territory. And yes, sibling cats will mate. They don't know or care that they are siblings. So it is best to have them both fixed. The second most common reason cats will urinate or defecate outside the box is an illness. Many have urinary tract infections or crystals in their bladders that cause a lot of discomfort. I would definitely have a vet check them out to rule out health issues. Finally, you should always have one more littler box than you have cats. So for you, I would say have three boxes, spread throughout the house. Cats can become territorial about boxes and will chase another cat out of "their box." I hope this helps! Thank You for choosing Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to ask for a consultation!

I'm sorry to hear this! I know how frustrating behavioral issues can be! This sounds like Tatty is behaving this way out of stress. Stress can result from a underlying medical issue among other things. Inappropriate elimination (peeing or pooping outside the litter box) in cats can be frustrating and difficult to treat. The first step you should take is scheduling an appointment for your cat to see a veterinarian. A lot of times a cat will start going outside of the litter box due to health problems like urinating tract infections, pain, urinary tract inflammation and digestive problems. Once you have established that there aren't any medical reasons for inappropriate elimination the following may be helpful: 1. Cats will urinate or defecate outside of the litter box for stress related reasons. Therefore it is best to keep the litter boxes in several different, quiet areas of the household. This may also help reduce Tatty's stress level. 2. A pheromone diffuser like Feliway can be quite helpful. This can be very useful when a cat is showing agression like Tatty. 3. Ensure you have at least one litter box in the household per cat plus one. For example, if you have 3 cats, then 4 litter boxes are recommended. 4. Feeding an all canned food diet can help if there is inflammation in the bladder. There are also prescription diets available to help with bladder inflammation or digestive issues. Your veterinarian can help you choose the best one for your cat. 5. The litter boxes should be cleaned once to twice daily and completely emptied and washed weekly. Most cats prefer litter to be the clumping type that is kept a few inches deep. Certain litter types like Dr. Elsey's Cat Attract litter may be helpful. 6. If you are still having problems after taking the above steps you may want to talk to your veterinarian about behavioral medication.

Inappropriate urination is unfortunately very common in cats. A few things you can try at home are adding more litter boxes (the recommendation is 1.5 litter boxes per cat - so 4-5 boxes in your house). You may also consider some pheromone diffusers like Feliway. These can help decrease cats stress level. I would also recommend a vet visit to rule out a urinary tract infection and speak to your vet about some behavior modification drug, like Prozac, which can help with going outside the box. I'm sorry you are going through this. Hopefully one of these suggestions will work for you and Stormy.

How strange! I would consider trying some of the calming products such as a Feliway diffuser https://www.feliway.com/us/Products/FELIWAY-MultiCat-Diffuser and a calming supplement such as Zylkene or Composure https://www.vetoquinolusa.com/content/zylkene https://www.vetriscience.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=9008103030
