    Peeing outside the box?

    I need some advice/help/suggestions?

    Ed has started to pee outside the box.

    He went to the vet and did have a bladder infection that was diagnosed, treated and cleared up.

    He also has had a check up, sonogram, blood test and everything is normal - thank god.

    -------------

    I put up two boxes in the area, one with regular clay and the other with cedar pellets. He poops in the box and pees outside it.

    I put down paper and sprayed Nature's Miracle on it and he peed on the paper!!

    I put a third box over the area where he pees - it's right outside the box he poops in - and put some paper in it.......

    Any suggestions on what else I can do?

    Thanks!

    (the doc has given me kitty Prozac to give him!!!!)

    Hmm, any changes in the household recently? Did you change his usual litter?

    Hmm, I did go from Arm and Hammer to the clay and then to the pellets.

    He has never been a 'litter picky' cat, I'll do go back to the A&H.....Thanks.

    I never thought about that!!!

    Cats are very particular about their bathroom. Owners learn time and again, it just does not pay to:
    - move the litter box
    - change the litter box (from hooded to non, or whatever)
    - change the litter
    - change the cleaner you use when you clean the box (some empty the entire contents, give the box a good scrub, then put in fresh litter. If you do this and change your cleaning product, beware!)

    Other things which can make a difference:
    - additions to the family (cat, dog, skinkid, doesn't matter)
    - departure from the family (death, business trip, vacation)
    - new piece of furniture in the room where the litter box is kept
    - moved furniture in the room where the litter box is kept

    Yes do return to the A&H. The texture on his feet as well as the scent are different with the other 2 types you listed.

    Good luck! I'm fostering an ancient cat who supposedly peed outside the box. Well he seems to like the BJs store brand, thank goodness.

    I did invest in some puppy peepee pads that I put under the mat that goes under the boxes!

    I put a box with some A&H in the area and he hit it, so maybe my luck is changing?

    LOL, what is it with us "ancient guys" who's aim suddenly goes bad?

    RICHARD, I hope he's doing better. How old is Ed now?
