My cat can't p**p, she's 18 years old, and my 7 year old cat ALWAYS urinates outside the box?

Question

Yes, my cat is 18, and she usually poops on the carpet in our basement, but we learned that is jsut bewcause of old age, but jsut recently i noticed she ahsn't been pooping, what do i do?

and we have a male 8 year old cat9I think 8) and he always pees in my room, along the bottom edge of walls,a nd it's very annoying, waht do i do?

Answer 1

Get a spray to remove the smell of his peeing there and start squirting him with a plain water bottle and hollering "NO" when he does it.  He will learn to stop and will use the litter pan.  When he does use the litter pan, give him positive re-enforcement.  With the 18-year-old cat, I am surprised she has lived that long.  You should contact your vet to see what he/she suggests about the inability to p**p.

Answer 2

ok for your 18 years old cat, im sorry to say this but if she can't p**p you may have to put her to sleep, its the unselfish thing to do for your kat, u have to put her down to stop her pain, but thats only if she really for sure can not p**p.

for your 8 year old cat, spray the cat with water when it pees on your floor, give it treats when it uses the litter box. im really sorry but i don't know much about cats, but i do know what you have to do if a animal is too old and its suffering of old age

Answer 3

well for your 18 year old cat, i would take her to the vets or if you think its because of old age i would show her a litter tray because she may be too old to climb up and down the stairs to get to the same place everytime.

and for your younger cat, if he pees in the exact same spot EVERY time then you could try putting a small cat litter try there and then if he starts to use it, slowly move it closer to the spot were the other one is and if it has to go down the stairs then make sure you show him where it is. If you dont have a litter tray already and your letting them out, i would suggest doing the same thing or just keeping it in your room or move it just outside.
