so mad i never new girl cats spray after being fixed 1 girl 2 male the girl ruined my home spraying i must get rid of everything i own including the CATS sad but cant afford to do this all again i love them all but i cant stand the SMELL!!!!!!!!

I have a 10 yr old neutered male - I adopted him from my parents who have separated. He's always had access to the outside (including now) when he first moved in he had a litter box(approximately 1-2months) and then I took it away. He's been going outside to do his business no problems but sporadically he seems to be having "accidents". For weeks there will be nothing and then randomly he'll constantly poop & wee on the floor. He has biscuits (recommended amount) and 1 pouch of wet food a day. This hasn't varied hardly at all since I got him. When I got him he was anxious, stressed & underweight but has since become affectionate, loving and gained healthy weight. I just don't know why he keeps irregularly having accidents. Also, he isn't just doing it in one place. I've found accidents in 3 rooms! Does anyone have any help or advice on why or how I could stop him? Thanks!

I have a 2 year old neutered male cat and every so often I catch him with his behind facing the wall (his cat box is in a corner) and his tail wiggles really fast. I had to put up a piece of cardboard and a carpet underneath his box cuz it would be everywhere. He's an only cat and is always very happy and loveable. Everytime I catch him, I quickly push his butt down so he'll finish spraying/peeing in the box. I'm almost sure from reading many articles, that he's peeing. I can't afford a vet bill so ill try anything that's money friendly. I just hate that smell and I want him to learn that that is a big NO NO!

My make cat sprays after he has used the litter box, while he is still in the litter box. He has done this for years and I continue to clean it off of the door and next to the wall. Nothing had really changed. We had two cats and one passed away last year but he didn't like her and would pin her down many times and bite her. We have a dog but the dog doesn't seem to bother him, she's a female. I have paid more attention to him since the other cat died. He us very needy and wants to sit on lap most if the time. I would like for him to stop spraying and don't know what to do since it is by his litter box.

Any suggestions for what works to remove and prevent dog peeing on hardwood floors? I've seen the advice for carpets (i.e., baking soda, vinegar, dish detergent, hydrogen peroxide)

Thanks!

How can I help my 4 year old male cat that I rescued at 1 year old and got him neutered. Brought him into the home with 3 other neutered males and one spayed female. ( I am into rescue) Since them he has been spraying in my home and now it is so I can not even smell. People who come into my home tell me of the urine smell. I would like to sell my house since I have become a widow and can't unless I get all new flooring. I don't want to get rid of Mr. Gray as he is such a sweet friendly cat and we have bonded. What can I do? Thank you,

I have a husky who is about 1 year old. When my boyfriend and I first got him we had no problems potty training him. Now, he is constantly going potty on the floors of our trailer to the point where the urine has been soaked into the drywall in our hallway. He only seems to make these messes when we are either gone from the home or sleeping. His meals are regulated as is his times to go out side to go potty. We take him out first thing in the morning before he eats, 20 minutes after he eats, then four to five hours later, then he gets supper and 20 minutes later its back outside to go potty. He is not fixed yet but, is going in on April 15th. If anyone can provide advice to prevent or stop the potty messes in the house I would be grateful.

This morning I woke up to my kitten flicking her wee on me only to find a pig wet spot on my doona she has been here for 3 weeks now and I used to keep her in a pen till she settled it with my other cat. It's only recently I have left them together. I noticed when she was inthe pen she would sometimes wee on the base of it but always poo in her litter .
The last 2 nights I have had no issues she knows where the litter box is cause I always stick her in it before bed. How do I stop her from doing this ? And to properly use the tray.

I just got a 8 wks black lab pup and she has been doing quite well in 2 days, but I watch her every move. I read on a website about waking her up every 2 hours and putting her where I want her to pee, and then go increasing the intervals, is that a good idea? I have been sleeping in the couch, and left the door open so I wake up if she wakes up and normally she does not cry. I put ,y watch to go of every 2 hrs and take her to the potty spot, she has done well in the first one, even though she did not go at first, I waited another hour and took her again and she did it...

I have a cat who is a little over a year old. When we first got her she used her litterbox all the time, we moved last may 2012, into a new house, and even when we moved in here she still used the litterbox. A few months pass and I decided to move her litterbox into our other bathroom, since we had 2, she constantly poops in the bathtub now( her box is clean)I thought it might be the location so I moved her litterbox back to the original place, and still cannot get her to poop in the litterbox.. My husband is getting very frustrated with her doing this, and said if I can't solve the problem quickly that she will have to find a new home.. I love my cat dearly and I don't want to get rid of her, please someone help.

Help us! I have a 2 year old chiweenie who is a complete doll, but is absolutely untrainable! Both potty training and obedience, we've recently moved to Florida and have a lovely yard for her to use but for some reason she still pottys inside, I've used all the regular training methods, I've moved her messes outside, rubbed her nose in it, locked her outside, feed her outside, and she will do fine for a day or too, then revert back with vengence! I love her dearly and she will always have a home with me, but it's been going on for 2 years and only gotten worse as she has gotten older. We've been hoping to get another dog this year (and German Shepard) And my one fear is that she will teach it her bad habits! Any advice??

My cat is urinating on my bed...not just peeing, but flooding my bed!! I have tried everything and wonder if a visit to the vet should be in order. She's a spayed female about 6 years old.

We just got a new dog and are two female 13 years old cats seem to hate our new dog.now all the animals are going to the bathroom in the house. Maybe they are just afraid of each other but what can we do to stop this.

I have an adorable fluffy kitten and we love her, the only problem we have with her is she will wee in her litter try but she will not poo in it. I've tried moving her poo from the floor to the tray but she still won't do it. I've also tried picking her up when she starts to poo and putting her in the tray but she just jumps out, Help Please.

I have two cats, a male and a female, who are siblings. I got them a little over two years ago and for the first year, I had no problems. However, during my second year of college, the male cat would pee on my bed right after I would come/while I was home on a school break (oftentimes when the litterbox was CLEAN). The cats remained at home with my parents during the school year, so I believed he did it because he was upset with me for being gone so much. But after I got married, and moved the cats into our apartment, the cat didn't pee anywhere but the litterbox because we kept our bedroom door shut. Then, for whatever reason (as I am home a lot now), he began to pee on one of our couches (never both; always the same one). He did this pretty consistently until about five months ago (Nov. 2012) when he stopped completely. We moved into a new place (a house) in December and despite the move he was fine. But just last week, he's begun peeing on the same couch! I don't know what to do with him; he is a sweet natured cat, and I know that there have been two or three times when he peed because the litterbox was full, which was definitely my fault---but he did not start doing this because of a full litterbox. I'm at a loss to understand why! Help!

Hi Iv just got an 8week old Kittern Iv had her 3 days today and she has not had a poo yet, she goes in tray but nothing comes out. Is this normal????

Hi, I have 2 female cats. My uncle gave them to me, my little cat icey I got when she was a kitten and precious the big cat is about 2 or 3 years old. My problem is out of no where she started peeing on my tables and counter tops and on anything that lays on my floor. And every once in awhile she will be mean to icey for no reason at all. Precious has peed on everything shoes, clothes, my youngest daughters bookbag, and every tabel and counter top. Sometime she will even pee on the bread and papers. I have changed litter, we scoop the litter box eveyday, I've tried giving her a lot of love and attention, changing food everythig. I took her to the vet and evetything is fine with her. I'm at a lost I don't know what else to do. I can't keep going through this my husban wants to get rid of het but she's such a sweet heart and we love her to death! Someone please give me advise. Thank you soo much:-)

We have a dog door so she can come and go as she pleases. During the day she always goes outside and pees, even at night when we are up she goes outside to pee. The problem is at night when we are sleeping she pees in the house, it's usually in the loungeroom. So I removed the carpet to get rid of the smell and laid new flooring which can be mopped. I put a new rug in and she started peeing on that. I have had that cleaned so now at night I roll the mat up so she can't pee on it. Yet she still persists on peeing on the floor, the door is open so she can go outside at any time. All the pees are really big ones so I don't think she is marking territory. Leaving her outside at night is not possible because she barks and barks or cries at the door for hours on end. I I'm really frustrated and wish their was a solution.

We have 2 cats - neither of our cats spray however, stray cats come into the house via the cat flap & they spray. The cat flap is magnetic but our cats will not wear collars. Does anyone have any advice on how to stop other cats using the catflap & spraying indoors without it affecting our own pets??????

Thanks

I have a cat that likes to pee on my blanket when she is in heat. What should I do to get her to stop? I really need help on this one because I don't want to give he away. I love her dearly but I cant handle the smell.

I have had my cat for 6 years now and she has always been a great cat. She has never had any problems using her litter box. Only recently, the last couple months, she has been pooping and peeing in front of our tv and couches. Also peeing on any clothes that are left on the floor. We have taken her to the vet and he said there is nothing medically wrong with her. We haven't moved, don't have any new animals and we give her attention all the time. I have no idea what else to do about it. Any suggestions?

I have two issues

1. Yorkie started peeing on wood or wood laminate flooring...same spot over and over. How do you remove the smell out of the wood? How do I prevent thin from peeing in that spot?

2. I have a boxer who just started peeing in a new spot where the yorkie just started peeing, but it's in tile...how do I keep them from peeing on the tile also?

We have recently moved house we have 2 cats who have always been outside. One of these cats is 15yrs old an we are quite concerned about her going outside niether are interested in using litter trays any suggestions?

We’re having a problem with one of our cats. Here’s the background: We have 3 cats, we got our first cat, Darwin, and he’s a very large 8kg male tabby, in 2009 as a kitten. In the last 2 years or so a neighbours cat, Fluffy a male British blue, started hanging around our house because his owner got a new Labrador pup & we started feeding him & he started hanging around more & more. We didn’t let him in the house coz he wasn’t neutered & when he did get in he sprayed but we fed him & built a cat box so he had shelter. Last July he turned up at my house injured, with the help with a local animal charity we fixed him up & neutered him. After that we decided to take him in & look after him permanently. Everything was going OK but he likes to, at any opportunity he gets, to run in & eat my other cats food even though he has his own. We did have another cat but she got killed in August & she & Fluffy, never got on. We got a new cat in October an adult female small tabby, Sam. After an initial settling in period everything seemed OK, they each have their own separate sleeping & eating area & they each have a litter tray with an extra communal one. Fluffy still tried to eat everyone’s food & because of this behaviour we have to keep the doors to their food closed & reprimand him when he does get in but no matter how many times he’s reprimanded he keeps doing it!
We treat all our cats the same, they’re all kept in at night, they all get the same meals at the same time, if one gets a treat they all get one, they’re all played with ( Fluffy more so coz he’s quite playful) etc. The only difference is Darwin & Sam are allowed upstairs but Fluffy is not, he does try to sneak up & last night I found him asleep on our bed he got a fright when I came in coz he knows that he wasn’t meant to be there but I just said FLUFFY NO & lifted him down stairs. But in the last few weeks fluffy has started spraying again!!
He sprayed outside the bathroom where Darwins food is, on a bag of food in Sams room, twice on the wall going up the stairs, in my shoe in our bedroom & the worst happened last night when he sprayed on the knife block on our worktop!!!!!!!!
We don’t know what to do. My partner is really angry at Fluffy when he does this & shouts at him & runs at him quite aggressively. I try to use my tone of voice & say NO!!! in a strong tone (I use a completely different gentle tone when I praise him) I don’t know if its a territory thing or what. He has no problem in using his litter tray.
I noticed that when he goes out he goes to a different area. He used to go down to fields near our house, now he seems to go through the hedge at the back of our house & down the lane or he goes down the street.
Darwin & Fluffy do occasionally swipe at each other usually instigated by Fluffy but nothing major. He sometimes sits in front of Darwin, tilts his head to one side & meows while Darwin growls at him they swipe at each other & we usually break it up.
He also sometimes takes a swipe at Sam.
I know he can be trained because Fluffy, & our other cats, will sit & wait for food when I say WAIT! & when I say NO! They usually stop the bad behaviour they’re doing.
We’re starting to loose patience at this stage so I really hope you can help.
Thank you

i have an 8 month old dachshund,and since she came home, she was already trained to pee on a newspaper. We have been taking her outside as many as 4 times a day and only once or twice has she peed outside! She comes back in ( even after spending hours in the summer on the garden) to pee inside. Many times she does not even bother to do it on the newspaper and most of my carpets and bathroom rugs are ruined already!
Please help!

We have a female cat that is 16 yrs, over the last couple of months she is pooing on the floor in the room she sleeps instead of in her tray. Some days she does it in the tray, and other days its on the floor, we have even put an extra tray in the area incase she wants to poo in one and wee in the other, but its not working. We are getting fed up of cleaning poo up of the floor, its not as if we dont change the litter everyday, and we havent change the type of litter either. Has anybody got any suggestions? If things dont change, we will have to get rid of her, it a shame, we have had her since she was 2 yrs.

My cat moo is quite ill. She lays around all day and barely moves. Today is the first day she has opened her eyes a little and been alert and observant; the last two days she has not been able to open her eyes. About four days ago she vomited clear liquid with hair inside. She has been very weak and it's breaking our hearts, :(

Recently we bought new furniture for our living room. I have one male and one female, which are both fixed. One of them have sprayed on back of couch. I cleaned it today with vinegar and water trying the home remedy on here. I went to sit down with blanket on me and the female layed on me on top of my cover and peed. I checked liter boxes and they were dirty. I am just wondering if this is common and if I should take them to the vet or just see if it was the litter box. I am not sure either if the male cat didn"t spray< so know that I am cleaning it, the female decide to pee! Again does anyone know if this is common and what I should do?

Hi I have an 7 month old pup we had no problems potty training her nor did we have problems with obedience training. About two months ago she started going to the bathroom in all parts of the house and when we take her outside she thinks its play time. We have tried everything even back to the basics taken her out every 45mins and taking her out as soon as she goes in the house. And nothing seems to be working.

i have three dogs and a cat. my nenighbors have recently moved and left there cat behind so i took him in i remember they alwlays said that he sprayed so i was scared to make him an outside cat. we brought him inside and now our other cat does nothing but hiss and growl at him he doesnt really respond to it. i was going to have them share litter boxes but i found that somebody had peed on the carpet in front of the litter box so i got another litter box but now our cat just sits by both litter boxes and pretty much gaurds them and the food. i think he has started to spray in the house. i do not want to throw him out but if it continues i will have to because wherever he pee's my dogs will pee and it will be a never ending war. can anybody help with any ideas?

we want to get him fixed but both our female cat and dog are in the vets right now getting spayed so we may not have money right away for that

My 11 month old cat is continuously peeing in the bath and I have noticed when I have left clothes in the bathroom he has pee,d on them as well. Tried everything, locking him out of the bathroom then he goes else were.. Help

Hi,
We have a problem with tomcats spraying around our front door we have removed the pot plants and they still keep doing it the smell comes in to the entrance hall its awful.

Confined puppy to kitchen and dining room with hardwood floors and training went well. When she is allowed in rooms with carpet, she pees. Any ideas??

I live with my niece and her 2 female small dogs. I have 2 males dogs of my own. One of her females always goes in my bedroom and uses it as a bathroom. She does both poo and pees in there and I don't know why. It seems to be just my room she uses, but her and I love each other very much and she doesn't act like she has anykind of problem with me. What do you think might be the problem and how can I fix it?

He is 4-5 years old...(according to our vet), but we have only had him about 9 months. Thx again. I would appreciate any feedback.

My husband and I just rescued a male bengal. He was not neutered, so we did have him castrated. He immediately got along with our two other female cats. He urinates in different places....sometimes.
He does use the litter box, but during the night, he sometimes finds
a spot..and dumps a bm...and urinates. I have tried to discipline him by putting his nose in it, and then carrying him into the litter box. I will also paddle his behind. Should I be doing this? Help please...I love my house and cannot tollerate this for too much longer. He is about 4-5 years old. Thx. Nancy.

We got a female husky pup, Sasha, at 8 weeks old. My husband and i work full time so we knew house training may take a little longer with her. She is about to be 12 weeks in 4 days and isn't getting the house training. We have a laundry room and leave the door open so she can go outside when needed whilst we are at work yet she rather pee and poo inside. She doesn't seem like a stupid dog since she has figured out sitting, and even shaking paw already. We think we are doing the right thing training her. But she doesn't like going outside especially by herself. How do we get her not to be afraid to go outside and do her business?

I have a female cat that's about 6 or so years old, she pees/sprays on doors, vents, tv/glass. Shes been doing this for a couple years now. She is fixed. I've sprayed, deep cleaned, bought calming collars, calming plug ins, she still does it.

We are training a 4 month old puppy that has been in the pond for 3months. We are using a kennel inside and taking her out when she wakes and after playing for a while inside. She will go both out side and sometimes go pee again in about 30min. But then when we come in she pee's again in a few min. on the carpet! How do I break her of this? She does go all night with out going in her kennel but once in awhile will have a accident in the kennel but not often.
