Peeing and pooing in living room...HELP!

Ok things are getting out of hand again.

Snoopy has decided that once again to start peeing in the living room...Not amused but unfortunately this morning my husband came down to find in the same place that she had poo'd there too.

I've been through everything before and nothing seems to work so please can someone help me it's getting out of hand.

She never used to do it in the living room but as I've blocked the other areas she likes it in there.

I have a litter tray (not nice) in the place in the living room but I know she will move to another place.

We threw the back door mat away the weekend because it was soaked with wee something else that we can't have because of her.

I even washed all of the carpets the weekend.

We have litter trays in each room. I use cleaning stuff advised by people on here and the vet. Used the diffuser and spray didn't work so now really running out of things to do.

Please help if anyone has any other solutions it would be great.

Re: Peeing and pooing in living room...HELP!

Have you tried both covered and uncovered trays to see if she prefers on eover the other? Or maybe a different kind of litter?

I feel your pain - am going through the same process of elimination with my two

Re: Peeing and pooing in living room...HELP!

Has she been checked for an uti?

Until you figure out the cause (eg while trying different litter/trays etc), you should try to keep her out of the living room, and maybe even confine her to one room overnight (one without carpet would be best) with her tray, bed, food etc so that cleaning up accidents is easier.

Re: Peeing and pooing in living room...HELP!

I've been keeping her out of the living room and it works but I have had to put things everywhere upstairs to stop her peeing in her other usual places it's hard work.

I've been to the vets so many times with her that I should have shares and they recommend a behaviourist.

Got more than one litter tray all over the house.
Tried covered and uncovered doesn't make a difference.
Tried different cat litter doesn't make a difference.

Thanks for the advice but if anyone has anymore please keep it coming.

what types of litter have u tried? when i was cat sitting for my sister, we had 4 litter trays around the house n she never used any, so several times during the day we just used to place her in there and she would use it, she was with me for 3-4 weeks after a while was willingly using the litter trays, but whenever we saw her get into position we used to throw her in the litter tray but the reason she was doing this may have just been strange house etc

has she ever been an outdoor cat? how old is she?maybe shes having trouble doing her business and blames the cat tray

Re: Peeing and pooing in living room...HELP!

has she had any stress lately? IS she getting on with the other cat and dogs in the house? DOes she go out ? IS she speyed?

I ask all of the aove as we took on a rescue BEngal, she drove us wild with the fact she would pee everywhere from our beds, worktops, on top of the work tops basically anywhere but her tray. AFter ruling out illness we decided to try her with a free roam lifestyle and it has worked as as it transpired she was stressed by some of our other cats and the time out gives her time on her own and be able to relax. SHe now has stopped all her behaviour issues and is a much happier cat

Re: Peeing and pooing in living room...HELP!

Does she go outside at all? Our eldest cat hates going out now, and if we don't make an effort to put her out ourselves each day she will just stay inside and the inevitable happens!
