Hi

I have a 1 year old female cat who recently started to urinate in the
bathtub and in the shower. She is spayed. She also urinated twice in one
week in my gym bag and another time on my shorts that werer on the floor.
Also, once on the bathroom throw rug that is infront of the sink.

This was never an issue until a couple of weeks ago. She use to always use
her litter box for everything, never going anywhere she wasn't allowed. She
still uses her litter box, I heard her urinate in it the other day. Just
sometimes she goes in odd places.

Not sure what is going on.

A little bit of background, she and three others were ferals from the same
litter, I found them last Oct, had them fixed, etc. I am working on them.
She is very differnet then the others, she is very social and sleepps on my
bed with me. I can pick her up and she doesn't mind. The other three aren't
even close, and tehy stay outside. When I feed them I leave the kitchen door
open and they all walk around the house while I prepare thier dinner.
Sometimes one or two of the cats walk around the home. She gets very
denfensive and protective.

Just wondering if she is marking her space.

Any ideas?


Yep, vet. Common symptom of infection, and sometimes bladder stones
can present that way.
But now that she has got her smell onto some things, you need to keep
all bags and clothes and floormats off the floor for a while. She may
continue to do it even after you get her treated. It's a hard habit
to break.
