with one of our little cats! We got Monty around 3 years ago, when he was 6m old. He had just been neutered and we got on very well with him. 2 years ago we got another cat from the same parents, female called Margot, though she is a subsequent litter, and was around 8 weeks old at that time. She was spayed at around 5 months. When introduced there was a few days of wariness and hissing etc but soon settled with each other very well, playing, grooming each other, sleeping near to one another etc.
Then I got pregnant, and whether this is coincidence or not I'm not sure, but the younger female started weeing in the sink. Then in plastic tubs of washing. We treated her for stress related cystitis with zylkene. Then cystease as well. Introduced extra litter boxes, split the cats up at night because their fighting was getting worse.
We have since moved house (bigger territory for them) and things were fine for around 2 months, and then the weeing started again. It has gone from puddles of wee to vertical spraying aswell, and it is always the female. It is particularly worse when she comes into contact with Monty. He does harass her at times and we try to split them up but it's very difficult to monitor every second of the day! They are now being totally separated but this means Monty is confined to one room only, and Margot has the run of the hall stairs and landing and our bedroom.
Thing is, she is still peeing. I genuinely don't know what to try next. We are going to the vets tomorrow but I just despair. She's so incredibly sweet (they both are so dear to us) but I am worried we may have to rehome her somewhere without children or other cats. I am worried that when we go away to see family etc that we will get back to a house covered in wee!
Please advise, will this ever be resolved? Am I missing something really obvious?!
