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.

Thanks a bunch!!!!

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 put absobent pads that I get from thew wound clinic around the box, and then throw them out Terrance Jeffrey tries , but his aim is bad.:eek:

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?:D

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