My male cat who is 13 years old and neutered has recently taken to peeing and pooping outside of his litter box.
My male neutered cat pees on the floor.
I don t know why it has been happening for nearly a month now and when he does pee he goes on anything he can find that s soft usually curtains or rolls of fabric.
He only does it when we are on the toilet.
If your cat is experiencing urinary issues don t delay the trip to the vet.
Urinary problems can lead to a serious urinary obstruction especially in male cats.
Thankfully however neutering usually eliminates the icky behavior.
Then the male cat started showing aggression.
If your typically fastidious cat is ditching the litter box and peeing just about everywhere else in the house it can easily become a problem for pet parents.
When a new dog cat or child comes into the home the status quo is upset and your cat may be feeling jealous of the attention being given to the newcomer.
Though unneutered male cats are the most likely to urine mark marking has been seen in neutered males and females as well.
Look for blood in the urine or very deep orange pee.
He has had kidney stones and was peeing blood but it has recently gotten alot better since he was diagnosed and put on special food he does it even more now tho and there s no blood in his urine.
When a sexually mature tomcat wants to lure in nearby females he does so by attracting them with his urine scent oftentimes on the walls of your residence.
One of my cats was not allowing them to get to any of the litter boxes.
Any seasoned cat owner can tell you the frustration of urine spraying.
A cat who is peeing in the home due to feeling jealous may need extra attention a space of their own or even a calming medication that can be prescribed by your veterinarian.
Add shredded white paper to the litter box to check for blood.
If your cat is posturing to urinate and little or no urine is coming out your cat might have a blockage or partial obstruction.
Peeing on soft surfaces outside the box is very common in female cats who have a uti.
This does not mean a male cat will not do this nor does it mean peeing on soft surfaces is needed for it to be a uti.
Between the constant cleaning and the strong smell a cat that is not using the litter box properly can be a source of frustration.
My 8 year old neutered male has peed on us at times to me 4 times and my daughter once.
