Ok it seems like we have a lot of cat owners here. I'm having issues with one of my two cats. We have had her for 6 years since she was a kitten, and the other cat for almost 6 years. We've never had behavioral problems with her - other than the occasional cat crazed tear around the house. Well she always has had a thing for our cups, and would knock them over, but it wasn't all the time. In the last couple months this annoying behavior has become more and more blaitent. She has done it in front of me lately, for no good reason - she has water in her bowl. So that is one problem. The other is she for a couple months now has been having pee issues. She started peeing on our bathroom rug - so we got rid of it. We just used a towel on the floor when getting out of the tub, but if we forgot to throw it in the laundry right away she would pee on it too. So we stopped that, and for a few weeks no pee. Now she started to pee on our bathroom scale. It took about 6 weeks for us to figure it out if it was our toddler who is potty training. We thought DS might have been sloppy from time to time putting his pee into the big toliet from his little potty. Well I figured out one morning it was indeed the cat, as there was pee early in the morning, and DS still had his overnight daiper on. This week we had a towel drying on the side of the tub, and apparently she peed on it too. Now to today - this morning she peed right in front of DH on DS's school bag. I'm a little beside byself. She's never had issues with peeing - and I really love her. But I'm going to have another baby in a matter of months and I think she sences that and is upset about it. We live in an apartment and can't afford her to ruin the floors. I'm gonna get her a vet appt soon, but am so frustrated. She's obviously mad, but I don't have time to give her lots and lots of attention, honestly she is going to get less when little miss shows up. Does anyone have any thoughts? I was forced to get rid of another cat this year, and don't want to give up this one. :(
thanks for any thoughts you may have.
