cat peeing, will it stop? ..
x-no-archive
My older cat has been peeing and spraying all around the house since we introduced a new cat to the house. We're trying to find a new (good) home for the new cat in hopes it will stop the behaviour but prevailing wisdom amongst the people I've talked to is that now that she's started she will continue to pee all over the house. To date I have spent over $100 on carpet cleaner rentals, stain & odor removers, a black light, vinegar and Febreze with no end in sight. Additionally I have small children in my care (not all my own) so as much as I love the cat (and I do; she has been my companion for twelve years) I can't go on like this. Anyone have any experience with this? Is it likely that she will stop peeing all over once the cause of her stress is removed? I have had her examined by a vet (not a health issue) but didn't ask this question. I will call on Tuesday but would appreciate some personal experience with this.

Did the vet rule out a urinary tract infection? If so, he/she can place her
on anti-anxiety meds, or an anti-depressant until she settles down. It will eliminate the inappropriate urinating.

I have got Feliway but it doesn't seem to deter her at all.
