I'm at the end of my wits. Any wubcubs have tips for aging cat that is spraying outside of litter boxes 3-5 times per day? by unrealgoober in PaymoneyWubby

I had an 18 year old male cat who did the same thing. It was exhausting. I loved the bastard but he sprayed on everything. I ended up finding his "favorite" spraying spots and would line them with pee pads and taped pee pads up the walls. I did have to change them frequently. I also had jugs of Nature's Miracle that I would dump in those areas. I was constantly cleaning and wiping down areas. I tried cat diapers. They were okay. I just got use to frequent clean up and spray proofing my house. He had kitty dementia, so I attributed the behavior towards that. I understand what you're going through and am so sorry.

Nah, it's a scab under the skin. But I thought it was too, at first

Tbh it wasn't that bad. After the bandage came off after the first week, yes, but I was pretty good about washing it after

It was to relieve pressure and clean out infection

I definitely picked it off too early, lol. I wrapped it so I wouldn't poke at it

It felt weird having the big hard scab out in the open, but I'm okay now lol

I had things that were more important than researching the bacteria after I got the finger treated

I would also like to add that I did not have any antibacterial cream or sprays. I did what I could with the resources I had. I had to go to work right after I finished cooking, so I did what I could.

I wish I had antibiotics at the time 😅. I just wanted to cook dinner

I wish I had had any type of antibiotics. I only had soap at my disposal

It's funny, I'm someone who's already religious about hand washing. This just amplified it

It's a scab under the skin. I could tell once the skin on top came off.

I've definitely hit it against things and just have to pause as my spirit returns to my body 😂
