Tabitha peeing again!!!!!!!!

[Winston]

Well Miss Tabitha is up to her old tricks again! well actually she has been for a couple of weeks on and off but today she really upset me!

As some of you remember she pee's only on Winstons beds or blankets and I have been using pheremones and letting Winston have supervised bed times. None of his blankets get left on the floor cause she will still pee on them pheremones or not.

Lately her choice of targets is Winstons crate. It is an EX LRG crate with a rubber mat in it. Well it is now ruined I am sure cause she has pee'd in there at least 10 times. So now we have to close the bedroom off in the basement where he loves to go lay in his crate. Or I have to let him in and when he comes out I immediately shut the door.

Today was the topper though! I went to do laundry and we had 2 pairs of rubber floor mats laying in the corner for use in the winter. As soon as I went down I could smell pee and thought the litter needed to be cleaned but no she had pee'd on the floor mats and to be honest it probably wasnt the first time thats for sure..but I didnt smell it or see it sooner! It was absolutely disgusting!

They are both due for a check up but I am at my wits end with her! I may have to resort to using some type of drug but the problem is she is a NIGHTMARE to pill...and its almost impossible to do! maybe they could give me something to put on her food but then she probably wont eat it! :sad:

I see her use the litter box too so its not like she doesnt like it. I have seen her come out from peeing in the crate and then go into the box to go!

Sorry just had to rant cause its so frustrating! Dont get me wrong I am so thrilled that she has not chosen any other part of the house or furniture etc to do this! I check all the time just to be sure!

I can soooo relate Winston ! I know , it is NOT fun I'm looking to sell my house in December and might have to rip off the carpet in living room and will have to put another flooring $$$$

Have you considered taking her to a homeopath vet? There are urinary/kidney/bladder/cystitis remedies that can be explored.

Could you please give a little background on Tabitha for us who do not know her story? Thanks!

[ancientgirl]

Apart from the suggestions about having her checked, have you thought maybe there is something about those mats she is drawn to or doesn't like? Have you always used them?

Winston,being very familiar with kitty-pee frustration,I feel for you,but there has to be a reason she's doing thisbut what

Frenchy,we have no carpeting left in our house and the hard-wood floor underneath was damaged from pee,we replaced it all with laminate floor,
I think it looks good and if you buy it on sale,it's not expensivesorry!

Khari here is some background...

Tabitha 13 yrs old...never been sick ever! approx 1 1/2 she started this peeing behavour...had her checked...she had a UIT..treated it...didnt stop problem...had her x ray'd, blood panels, bladder test.

Bottom line vet felt it was either bad behaviour or idiopathic cystitis.

I have been using Feliway which helped for a short time but it certainly has not solved the problem.

She only does this on the dog stuff..not on our furniture, beds etc?????? (until the floor mats in the basement yesterday!)

Oh and the dog is not new too her we have had him almost 10 yrs??
