Serious peeing problem....

[catnapper]

Somebody has recently begun peeing on my desk and the counters in my office.

At first I thought they peed because they were mad that hubby was feeding them on a narrow ledge, and they were peeing on the ledge because they kept trying to jump up onto the ledge and kept missing -- and kept falling *klunk*. It seems logical that they'd pee on the ledge to show their displeasure at the counter for hurting them. I got hubby to stop feeding them there and there have not been any more incidents on that ledge. But now it seeems someone has moved to my desk - they just peed on my monthly bank statement. Yeah, I feel that way about financial matters too.... but to take such action?

In addition to that, someone peed on the kitchen counter a few weeks ago. I've NEVER seen ANY of them on the kitchen counter. They have no interest up there.

~I can easily rule out Flutter - she can't jump up onto the high counters.
~Pouncer is peeing properly and I can tell he's 100% better now. I already intend on taking him for a recheck as soon as I have a spare $100- perhaps next week, since I have to pick up a bag of his prescription food next week anyway.
~Allen has a history of peeing in laundry baskets -- could he have simply moved on to countertops now?
~Abby & Harry were the ones falling while trying to jump onto the narrow ledge. But I see them use the litterboxes just as they should.

A friend in the rescue suggested someone is peeing because they are mad someone else got to be fed separately -- almost like a place of honor -- from everyone else. Perhaps?

I am very tolerant of peeing issues, especially if its somehow my fault (like they are unhappy with the state of their litterbox) or if they are sick. I am not going to blame anybody for being a brat just yet. But this is getting to be a habit and I need to get to the bottom of it.

Shemp has had a bit of a peeing problem,and I think thats its due to the fact that hes not a Tubby2 fan.
If I put the Tubster in the Cellar,hes fine but Tubby 2 doesnt want to stay in the Cellar 24/7.

I give Shemp extra attention,and hope taht helps.
I hope you can do the same with your Peeer.

LOL !! Well said!

Aside from that, I can relate and sympathize with you. My dear Onyx frustrates the h*ll out of me sometimes. She goes through cycles of peeing anywhere and then stops for a long while, it goes on over and over again. I absolutely can't find a reason for it (although I think it all started with an initial bladder infection which we treated and I think subconsciously her having accidents anywhere at that time made her think it was okay to go anywhere, anytime.) But why it's inconsistent, I don't know. I have gotten into the habit of picking her up every few hours and taking her to the litterbox just so she doesn't have accidents in between. And I think when I do that often enough the problem stops, then I stop too. And after a while it starts again. So goes the cycle.

If you have a video camera, set it up and wait to see who is peeing.
I'm sure in short time you'd find the culpirt.

Well, Pouncer now has a vet appointment for next Friday morning.

I am almost certain its not Harry -- that boy can PEE and I often HEAR him in the box. He's like a river, and makes quite the noise when he pees The spotsw on the counter were fairly small.

PLEASE pray its not Pouncer! Though he does seem to be the obvious culprit at the moment.

Didn't you mention having houseguests? And people sneeking in and out at all hours? Your cats may be picking up on some stess.

I just hope you can figure our WHO? That is always the hardest problem.
