• 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

  1. I turned it off and I’ll try just running it twice daily
  2. 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!

    A few helpful details are missing but make sure the cat has a clean litter box in a very accessible location. Clean meaning you clean it after every piss (for a while). You want to make it just as easy and enjoyable to piss in the litter box than anywhere else. If the cat is an outdoor pisser, put a litter box anyway, in case there are some territorial disputes going on outside that are making her hesitant to go out (or making the problem worse)

    Cats are creatures of habit, and are drawn to piss where they smell piss. But they don’t piss where they eat. So move the food and water to the spot up against the couch exactly over the spot where she pisses. Put the bowls on a large plastic tray to make it easy to move, prevent spills, and cover the old piss. If she climbs onto the couch to piss, put it on thr couch.

    Next, to fully break the cycle, you have to eliminate the piss smell. You might think it’s gone because you smell nothing more than enzyme cleaner fragrance. But her nose still smells it. If you’re just spraying the cleaner onto the rug or sofa and massaging it, then it’s not soaking down into the under rug or cushion foam. You’re getting only the tip of the iceberg. You have to take the cap off the bottle , pour and and flood the spot on the rug or couch so that the cleaner envelops and soaks everywhere the piss seeped to. Then cover the spot with the food tray or plastic wrap to keep the enzyme cleaner from drying out for a few days. It needs that time to work , especially if it’s cooler climate. You may need to do two or three cycles of this cleaning. Unzip the sofa’s pillow cushions, remove the foam squabs, and wash the covers (air dry)

    This should set you and kitty on the right track, assuming the infection/bladder issue is solved.

    Note that the uric acid in cat piss (the stinky component) has a half life of 6 years. Dont spare the enzyme cleaner. Pour it liberally. Plan to consume 2 or 3 bottles per piss event.
