Peeing issues
Posted: Wed Jun 12, 2019 6:03 pm
Hi guys, I have this query about lovely cat, Jack
Male tabby cat approx. 11 years old, FIV+ (no medication)
• Indoor
• Nov 2018 had to have emergency surgery to have remaining teeth removed, also had skin condition (cleared up with treatment)
• He has been weeing in his scratch board and am in the same room as him – come home from work / at the weekend
• Does it generally once a day
• Try to clear poo out of litter soon after he does it
• Otherwise well behaved
• I do praise him for using the scratch board to scratch and try to ignore the weeing
• Doesn’t yowl if pick him up
• What I’ve tried and failed
o Different scratching things e.g. mat
o 2nd litter box with hood in place of the scratch board
o Feliway
o 2 litter boxes in the same spare room next to each other
NB he’s never had this issue before – I adopted him over 3 years ago.
I'd be grateful for any advice given. Thanks in advance
