Change in Cat urination habits

My 11 year old female cat has just decided to stop urinating in her little box & to start urinating on my bathroom floor. However, she still uses her litter box for "number two." Why, and what can I do about it? I have a Littermaid & it is always clean. I clean out the holding trap at least twice a week, so it's always clean for her.

Hi,

When this happens, the first thing to do always is to have her urine analyzed. You have to make sure it is not a medical issue before you assume it is behavioral and we address that.

After you've seen the vet, if there is no problem with her urine, there's lots of information here on the website about treating behavioral-related inappropriate urination.

Good luck and thank you for writing,
Dr. Neely

my cat has the same problem, except my cat cant pee although she is an adult and she is running around the house yowling and i dont know what to do my vet says she doesnt have a uti but i dont know....any suggestions

If your cat truly isn't urinating and is running around the house crying, then something is definitely wrong. If a cat doesn't urinate at all, they die, usually within 3 days. Did your vet test a urine sample? If not, you need to go back to the vet or get a new vet.

Best, Dr. Neely
