Levi, our one male cat who has given us a bit of a difficult time while we tried to get his idiopathic cystitis diagnosed, has now taken to peeing in the bathroom sink! He did it once yesterday, when my husband was using the bathroom, and once again today, while I was! Is this bizarre, or is it a kind of "patterning" behavior? He hasn't peed anywhere else inappropriate (e.g., nowhere outside his litter box) that we can tell, save the sink!
I'm of the mind that this is okay -- I'd much rather keep my beloved Levi and let him pee in the sink from time to time (easy enough to clean!), but my hubby worries that Levi has returned to his "flares" of just peeing "wherever."
Does anyone have any advice or thoughts? Levi has been doing awesome on his meds -- no negative side effects whatsoever, and no inappropriate peeing whatsoever -- and has been just lovely company overall, so maybe he's just discovering a new "okay" place to pee and/or likes the company????
