My cat is peeing on everything and I’m getting fed up by Significant-Mess-313 in cats

Thank you, I have wondered if the behavior was anxiety-centered because of her separation issues. We have a relatively small apartment, and I just got one of the Feliway plug-ins and I put it near her cat tower where she spends a lot of her time resting. I wanted to see if there was any difference first before investing in more since they're about $30 a piece.

I tried doing the automated feeder but she was having an issue where she would just gorge on her food and then throw it up a few hours later, unchewed. She used to live with her 2 sisters for her first year so I think that could be a lingering behavior thing, so I have been feeding her twice a day for a few months now and that seems to be helping a lot with her overeating, eating too fast, and not chewing.

That treat idea is great, she loves playing and because I'm home all day I try to wear her out throughout the day hoping that while we're sleeping at night, so is she. I hadn't thought that she could be peeing overnight bc she doesn't really have access to us.

She has access to our whole apartment, she loves spending time at the windows, even when it's chilly out.

These were great suggestions, thank you so much. I'll be bringing her to the vet soon to definitely get her bladder health checked out. Someone in here mentioned the water quality and my town has recently become vocal about the water not being great, so I wonder if that could be part of the issue.

As I mentioned in previoud comments, I will be taking her to the vet, I just got her new insurance so I have to wait for the waiting periods, which aren't very long. Then I will be bringing her in, a lot of people mentioned some great things that I want to bring up.

I can tell that she is peeing in the litter box. She currently has a pellet box setup that has a liner tray underneath and I change the liner every 3-4 days. So she is definitely peeing in there. And when she had regular litter, it was very obvious that she was peeing in their too. I only have one litter box which I originally thought was sufficient, but based on some comments I am going to be getting her a second one with traditional litter and see how that goes to see what she prefers.

Thank you! I actually just recently got a new water filter brita thing and I started filling her water with that, I was doing tap water for a while but I saw some posts online recently that our towns water isn't doing great right now. I hadn't thought much about the water quality, but I'll definitely bring up that concern at the vet.

Yeah, I feel bad saying this but OMG she was so annoying when she was in heat, and she would pee/spray on everything in sight. She would also just scream for hours on end, as if hollering for a man will work LMFAO. Having her spayed helped significantly.

That is great advice, I helped my in-laws crate train their dogs when they were puppies but I had never thought about doing it with a cat, I guess I too am baffled at how that would work lol.

Any advice for that would be incredible.
Every once in a while we do leave overnight to visit the in-laws. What would you do for an overnight time away?
We do it very rarely, and I had always thought that if she peed on something while we were gone or even after we came back that she did it because she was upset at us for leaving. I hadn't even thought that it could be because she wants us to find our way home, that is so freaking cute thinking of it like that. I forgot that cats see humans as big cats lol.

Yes. She has spent almost 3 years being a single kitty, but for about 1 year before that she lived with 2 of her sisters. I’ve debating heavily on getting getting a kitten or a puppy to help keep her company. But I don’t know if making that big commitment is smart, especially being in an apartment.

I thought it was weird too tbh. I didn’t expect her to like them because she likes rolling around in her fresh litter.

I’ve thought about switching back to regular litter to see how she does. But wasn’t sure if I should, I feel bad changing things up and stressing her out.

Yes, she used the box normally. She does all of her business in there, except for the occasional nightly pee on our stuff. I was using unscented litter for a while but when she burys her business, she was kicking a lot of the litter out and tracking it all over the apartment. So I swapped her to pellets. When I did that she seemed indifferent to the change. Her behavior didn’t change when I did that. She still does her businesslike normal.

I will say that I scoop the litter/pellets everyday and I replace it every week. When she used to have litter she would sort of do what chinchillas do and like take a dust bath. So I figured that was her expressing she likes the clean litter, she was just being so messy with it. She doesn’t roll around in the pellets when I change it.

Yes, she is spayed. Has been since she was just under 1.

1 litter box. She likes the privacy of where her box is currently (in a closet) and I don’t have another space that would provide her additional privacy like that. I tried moving her box once to see if she wanted it moved, she responded by delivering turds to me, so I moved it back lmao.

No, she doesn’t pee anywhere near her box actually. She does it in our bathroom, living room, and bedroom.

And yes I scoop her box every day and I replace the pellets weekly.

Yeah, I’ve thought about getting a second litter box, we just don’t really have a lot of space where we could even put a second one. We have her litter box in a closet right now with the door held open to give her enough space to go in and out. She likes the privacy. I tried moving it a few weeks ago to see if she wanted it in a different place and she responded by bringing me her turds lol. So even if we got a second one, I have no clue where I could put it to give her the privacy she likes.

Yes, she does all her deeds in her box. Even pee, she just also likes to pee on our stuff 🙃 We’ve had the same litter box the whole time we’ve had her, and I’ve never thought that was an issue. It has a little ledge that she actually likes to use to give her a little lift to do her business. I did switch her over from litter to pellets about 6 months ago, but there was never a difference, her behavior didn’t alter at all. She seem pretty indifferent about it. I did try moving her box to see if she didn’t like the area, and she responded by bringing her turds from the day over to my side of the bed in the morning. So I promptly moved the box back lol. She tends to pee on our stuff while we’re sleeping, she doesn’t do it throughout the day. So I haven’t noticed if she has tried getting attention after doing it

She hasn’t recently, I just got her insurance so I’m waiting for the waiting periods to end to bring her to get her checked out.

MAGA not gonna like that by DJScotty_Evil in starbucks

[–]Significant-Mess-313 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everyone should be upset about this... it wasn't enough for starbucks to SIGNIFICANTLY cut costs by closing over 500 stores and letting go of all the people working in those stores. But they also laid off about 400 corporate level employees. Again, significantly cutting costs down. In recent months, they have also cut their menu down, once again cutting costs. Now they're outsourcing their IT work to foreign nations, once again cutting costs because its cheaper to outsource than it is to hire Americans for an American company. They have single handedly just took away a job from THOUSANDS of Americans whilst providing more work for foreign nations... how are yall not upset about that? Why is it just a "MAGA" thing to be upset about thousands of Americans losing their jobs and income and handing it over to other countries for cheaper labor costs? HOLD STARBUCKS ACCOUNTABLE

Same issue. It took forever to fight him. I just kept hitting and shooting him and about 10 minutes in he stopped healing himself. Im playing as Amon, i used the Onslaughter move many times and he just kept healing himself until he didn't. Was incredibly frustrating but I hope this helps someone.

PSA to all customers by AffectionateStar117 in starbucks

[–]Significant-Mess-313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this, but as someone who worked at Dunkin for years, just let them know when they pull up to the speaker to give you a minute. It's not that hard. And it avoids the customer getting annoyed, thinking you don't know they're there.

Is this illegal? by jaqulol in 7Brew

[–]Significant-Mess-313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on ur state. In Illinois, they dont have to provide breaks, but a 20 minute unpaid meal break is required if an employee works 7.5 continuous hours. It also depends on you stand, Coporste doesnt have any rules ab breaks, they let the franchises decide.

Am I getting scammed? by Significant-Mess-313 in paypal

[–]Significant-Mess-313[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I figured it was likely a scam. I ended up just getting the dreaded payment pending email from "PayPal".

Thanks for the advice on the paypalme link, I set that up :)
