Houston, we have a problem!

[DJFyrewolf36]

Think back over the past few weeks. Has your husband upset any one of the kitty butts reciently? Could you think of anything at all that could have upset them? (changing foods, rutine etc) John said and I tend to agree that cats can hold a pretty big grudge, and a sign of that is targeting the person of thier wrath with pee. I've seen cats get mad at someone and target thier things exclusively, shoes, bed you name it they'll hit it!

Also, have you had any contact with any other cats reciently? Sometimes peeing can be a teritorial issue, so can inapropriate poo. (I swear this is the only forum I can say "inapropriate poo" and not get a wierd look). Have you done an extensive cleaning reciently? Cats rely on thier noses quite a bit and sometimes an new (or extremely clean, like cleaning product clean) smell can upset cats. My cats got majorly upset once after a huge cleaning and trust me they let me know!!!

Pinpointing which cat is most affected by recient events should help you find the culprit.

Hope that helps a little. Good luck with the issue!

Oh no! Can't believe it would be any of your precious girls.....maybe one of them has a slight infection??

Oops! How can I know who??

I agree with DJFyrewolf36. My sister has 10 cats. My son was staying with her and he doesn't care for cats as they interfere with his asthma. (I think cats are very sensitive of how we feel about them.) He was sleeping on the floor and one of the cats sprayed and pooed on his beding while he was in it. They especially did this after he told them to get away from him.

OMG, how drastic!!
That cannot be the problem here though, as Bernard adores all 4 cats, just like me

I am sorry Lut. It is difficult to figure out WHO!

My first thought was "Is Snoopy in heat?" As she gets older she may do more urine marking during her heat cycle. Just another possibility.

Although, banning Zazou from the garden may very well be the cause.

If it is an infection the cat will attempt to use the box often (more so than normal) so be observant and you may be able to figure out who.

Prayers to you that the answer comes (and trust me, I know how hard it is with multiples)

It does sound like a infection to me. Smokey pee where ever he feels like when he is developing crystals (stones) in his bladder. Fortunately for me I know his "moods" when he is not feeling well.

As for figuring out who it is....well that's the hardest part. My advise is to watch very carefully around the house, their behavior, their litter box habits, etc. you will probally catch whoever it is in the act.

Hope this resolves soon (((hugs))) I know exactly what you are going through and it can be very frustrating.

No, she is not in heat; she was last week.
No abnormal use of the litterboxes either..... .
This is one of those days where I wish that cats could talk to me....

[moosmom]

You know how they have "nannycams"??? How about a "poo or litterboxcam"? Sorry, just trying to inject a little humor here. Bad Donna, BAD DONNA!!!!!

As far as I can think, it was only Zazou's butt. She doesn't want to come back inside when we let her out; so everytime it was a "chase-me-indoors" . Of course, now she is NOT allowed to play in the garden anymore!

Also, have you had any contact with any other cats reciently? Sometimes peeing can be a teritorial issue, so can inapropriate poo. (I swear this is the only forum I can say "inapropriate poo" and not get a wierd look).

No, not at all!

Not all, just the usual thing, with the usual product.

So I came down to Maya or Zazou: Maya for pooping in front of her box, and Zazou for chasing her
