Help cat peeing in linen basket!
Caught my cat peeing in our plastic linen basket this morning. He had done
this once before, which we hadn't seen him doing it at the time, so couldn't tell him that it was wrong. But this morning, I actually saw him peeing in the basket, which I shouted 'No' to him and he stopped. We're not sure if its because he thinks that its a litter tray (even though it was literally full with a bag of rubbish). Has anyone had problems like this ? We don't mind so much as at least he's not peeing on the carpet, and that the basket can be disinfected afterwards. Becky |

My Otis used to pee in empty litter boxes only when he was having urinary troubles. When it got really bad and he was partially blocked, he went around trying to pee everywhere he went, crying all the time. Male cats seem prone to urinary tract troubles, and it's exacerbated by dry food and stress. If it goes on long enough they can become blocked and the urine toxins build up which can be deadly within a day or two. To the vet! At the same time research Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease and Idiopathic Cystitis. -Alison in OH |
