I have an 11 year old cat that will not stop peeing outside of litter boxes. There are 2 other cats and a dog. I've talked to my vet.
She's been tested for some common health issues and doesn't have them thankfully.
She seems to gravitate to peeing on soft things. Carpets, dog toys, clothes, rugs
So far, I've done the following:
-Removed carpet on the main level of the house and replaced with hardwood (this worked for a time)
-5 litter boxes for 3 cats and at least one on every level of the house
-created a cat sanctuary room with interactive stuff and beds and hammocks (it got ruined by urine)
-calming diffusers
-daily litter box cleanings
-a daily anxiety pill
-multiple types of litters throughout including one that claims to be the softest
-litter has no scent
-covered and uncovered boxes
Nothing is working. Getting rid of an animal is not really an option, but she's literally ruining my house and costing me a fortune. In a perfect world, I would calla behaviorist, but I can't really afford to do that right now.
Can anyone give me any other ideas? It's literally causing a small problem in my marriage on top of costs and smell.
I'm desperate.
