We have just put down new carpeting in half of our basement. Samantha is not happy about it and has peed twice on the old carpet in the laundry room area.
It is easy enough to clean it since its just a throw rug and her litter box is in the same room, just a few feet away from where she has peed.
Before you suggest that I take her to the vet, I will be taking her in 2 weeks for a regular check-up. I think that this is more behavior related since she did it when we were watching her and she could have gotten to the litter box to do it if she wanted to. She did seem very stressed when the workmen were putting in the carpet and making noise. I have been giving her extra attention and grooming and she is fine when she is upstairs.
Does anyone have any advice? We can close off the newly carpeted area for a while by putting something across the bottom of the stairs if we need to. Thanks for any help!
