![]() ![]() It's a good idea to rule out medical issues with a vet to make absolutely sure, but given this behavior, it's pretty likely your cat is actually territorially spraying on purpose.įemale cats more typically spray if something is stressing them out, especially if they feel their territory is being intruded on. she's started to pee standing up with her back arched and tail shaking, her back against the wall or my bedskirt or my suitcase.Ĭontrary to popular belief, female cats can and will spray as well as male cats. The new posture you've described is the posture cats use when territorial marking. The earlier incidents sound medical, but the later incidents sound like territorial marking. Good luck! We see this ALL the time in clinic. Some UTI's aren't cured with our standard antibiotics so a culture and sensitivity would be another thing to consider however they would need to do a cystocentesis for a proper sample. Also a side note if you do this remove any carpet/towels that will soak up pee if she decides to pee on those. Lock her in the bathroom with the litter box and beads, if she won't use the box chances are she'll use the bathtub or sink which is still ok. If they cannot get a sample at the clinic ask them for litter beads and a syringe so you can collect urine yourself at home. Also another good add on for this is the feliway difuser ( ) I love love love this stuff. It's a urinary diet for cats prone to getting UTI's from stress, it's one of our most sold foods for cats (along with urinary s/o) that works great. Have you switched her diet? She seems like a stress UTI cat, talk to your veterinarian about Hill's C/D. Go for a recheck, make sure they look at the pee. I've tried giving her treats and sitting with her outside and we have a catnip plant growing that she loves and nothing has calmed her down. It's different than her normal flopping it's not the cute kind. ![]() ![]() She'll jump on my bed and immediately flop and lay down or she'll stop walking and flop over. I don't know if it's medical or mental and I don't want to stress her out more by taking her to the vet but I'm worried and honestly annoyed because she's peeing on everything.Īnother thing I noticed since I got home yesterday, she's started flopping down more. I noticed that in addition to her squatting to pee everywhere, she's started to pee standing up with her back arched and tail shaking, her back against the wall or my bedskirt or my suitcase. She was preparing to pee on my bed and on me and I took her to her litter box and when she went back to trying to pee on me, I moved it next to my bed. Then she woke me up at 2 am by almost peeing on me. I cleaned most of it up but I was tired from the drive and went to sleep. On my bed, on paper on the ground, in her litter box, on anything on the ground. Then we went on vacation for 10 days and when I got home, she had peed everywhere in my room. We haven't changed her food or litter type, nor had anything recently changed. We took her to the vet and they tried to get a urine sample but couldn't, and kept her for a few hours but still couldn't, so they gave her an antibiotic shot and she peed for real in her litter box the next day. ![]() Then, in early June, she started peeing little drops everywhere but there was no blood. In early march, we got another cat about 1.5 years old and she's crazy and funny and little but i still loved my cat the most. In February this year, the other cat we had died but she really hated him. In November last year, one cat she grew up with moved away with my sister. She also stopped liking other cats after we moved. There was blood in the pee and the vet gave her antidepressants but it didn't work so we let her outside and she was okay. We moved when she was 1.5 and she started peeing all over the house. My female cat is 7 and I've had her since she was 4 months old. ![]()
