Totally Off Subject Question. Posted: 10-30-07 12:48pm
This has absolutely nothing to do with
pregnancy, babies or kids. But I have a
10 year old cat. She pees in the laundry
room in front of the dryer. Luckily, it's
linoleum in there so it's easy to clean
up. Has anyone else had a problem with
their cat doing this? I clean it up and
spray a pet odor eliminator over the
floor, but I guess it's not enough to
cover up the scent. My husband is
threatening to get rid of her (in a not so
nice way) if she doesn't stop. Any
suggestions? She has already been spayed.

She is pissed about someting. Have you
changed anything recently with your home?
or "her" areas? For example.. Where she
sleeps.. where her food is.. even laundry
soap or fabric softner? I would look
around at her usual areas to see if
anything is different. She might be trying
to tell you something is not right, or the
way it used to be. Good luck!

The only thing that has changed, is that
we have a 10 week old baby now. But she
was doing this before the baby came. She
had been doing in on and off for awhile,
then she just stopped. The last 6 months
she has been doing it again.

If you go to Petsmart, they might have
something there that prevents cats from
peeing in certain areas. It's not an odor
eliminator... I want to say it's a hormone
or something? You might want to look into
it.

Her age may have something to do with it.
Does she have a litter box or is she an
indoor/outdoor cat? Maybe she needs a
small litter box near the laundry.
It rains a lot here. We don't keep a
little box in the house, but I do keep one
in the garage so when our kitty doesn't
want to get his paws wet, he will still
have somewhere that I've sanctioned as a
place for him to 'go'.
He has gotten angry at my husband and gone
on the dirty clothes before!

Thanks, I'll look into it!

She is strictly an indoor cat and her
litter box is in the laundry room, less
than 3 feet from where she goes in the
floor. I clean out a couple of times a
week. She used to do this when she was
younger, so we got her spayed. It stopped
for a long time and just within the past
couple of years she has started doing it
on and off again.

Amonia is supposed to work to keep the
cats from wetting in the area. So are
mothballs, according to my neighbor who
had a problem with cats going in his
flower beds.

my cat suddenly started taking dumps
where-ever. It's only when he's mad.
Like the other day I put him down from
holding him, and he got really mad. I saw
him squinting like he was really trying to
push, and pooped right in front of my
eyes. I think he senses that there is a
baby on the way and is feeling a little
left out.
He also sits on the clothes that we've
bought so far for the baby and refuses to
move. It's so cute.
