We did the week of twice daily antibiotics and the urinary test to “confirm infection”

BoziePro is unscented

Litterbox Is LitterRobot 4, recent upgrade. Much better for her asthma, she was fine with the previous generation for years prior but I wanted to get the Shield to prevent the spread of dust and irritants that Im certain were hurting both of us
- I turned it off and I’ll try just running it twice daily
- I swt up a seperate litter box for her in the hallway. I think I might have to put it inthe bedroom but for now its in the hallway by the door cuz I just canthave her pissing the bed again.
The Feliway should be here today so hopefully that helps relax her a and the other cat thats a bit of a guard hound and disturbingly aggressive to her.
There so many factors here and I’m just burnt out on all this.
-They’re (feliway and hills “prescription” multistress urinary care food) in the mail and coming but in the meantime i closed the bedroom door, trying to keep her cordoned on a corner of the couch where i can watch her
Is this ever gonna end?
- Can the enzymatic cleaner I used require to wash it too every time she pisses?
Im honestly at my breaking point here. I cant fucking handle an enemy within destroying my furniture and i just plopped my ass down unknowingly in to a fresh puddle of piss!
Halp!
if the cat associated the litter box with pain from urination, they will avoid it.
New box, new location.
I truly second this. Cats don’t understand their body is causing the problem, so they avoid the environment where the pain occurs. If they keep going for soft surfaces, get a new box and put a sacrificial towel in it with litter underneath in a different location than the old one. You can slowly pull back the towel when they are being treated for the problem, and then make slow adjustments to put the box back in the old location.
My cat did the same thing, and I was losing my mind before I realized it was an infection and she was peeing blood. Afterward treatment, I bought a cranberry supplement for cats, urinary food (doesn’t have to be the super expensive vet stuff, retail is also fine), and added wet food to her evening meals. She hasn’t had an issue since (8+ years).
I did the same with a pack of the super absorbent and soft towels. It took about 5 months to get back to using the litter box in the old place. The last month I used a rubbermaid container lid in front of the box with the toweling laid on it. Sometimes he would use both, the toweling to pee and the box to poop. I was lucky, I could just pop the towels into my washing machine each day. If I didn’t have that I would have probably bought the super cheap package of a few hundred and tossed em. Plus side, litter costs went way down. Vinegar to add to each load wasn’t to expensive once I found the huge bottles of cleaning vinegar in the cleaning isle. I did my absolute best to control my disgust and praised him every time he peed where I preferred and totes ignored when he didn’t. It wasn’t his fault and it was hard on us both. But he lived after surgery to correct his scarred urethra for another 12 years. After recovery he never peed on my stuff again. In the recovery phase I bought waterproof mattress, couch, and cushion covers. I’m sorry you had to go through this too.
