Pee, pee David Stone, DVM Bloomingrove Veterinary Hospital
GoTo for Pets8
My father is wrong. Partially wrong. He says that cat urine is the worst smell on earth, but I disagree. I thinkthat OLD cat urine is worse. Like a fine wine, it ages and ripens. The carpet, the couch, the walls. Replace themall. It’s not as though any of the commercially available products will make them actually smell new again.
One of the most common reasons cats spray in the house is because they’re stressed. In my case, by “other”cats roaming around outside. I can predict, with some accuracy, when my male cat will violate our “agreement” –when the neighbor cat comes calling. My cat is indoors and shall remain so –much to his dismay – but whenSparky comes to flaunt his magical ability to roam the earth freely, Squash has to retaliate. He feels someprimal need to let Sparky know that this is his house and there will be no doubt about this fact – emphasizedby a nice urine marking. Now I’m mad. Mostly at myself. I know that if I keep the lower half of the windowscovered, Squash will never see Sparky and he will not pee everywhere. I also know that when guests come
over my wife does not like the lower shades drawn and then Iforget to relower them... then he sees Sparky and pees.
My fault, I guess. Strange that his behavior is so predictable. It took about nine years to figure out the “Sparky” connection.I deal with inappropriate urination all the time in my officeand have only found the window shade trick to work with ahandful of patients. Other cats have other triggers and respondto different treatments. A popular and sometimes effectivetreatment is the “calming collar” which is a lavender/pheromonecombo, some cats respond to the pheromone diffuser (like aGlade plug in), while others do well with glucosamine.
Traditionally, I’m supposed to tell you to try several of the different types of cat litter – corn/wheat/pine…add a litterbox, covered and uncovered…doesn’t usually work. In fact, no single thing USUALLY works.
For some cats, aggressive antianxiety meds may be effective. First things first, before you decide that thecat is just a “bad” cat, have him checked out. Yesterday, a client brought in a cat with an emerging tendency topee everywhere. We diagnosed a bladder stone. No wonder he was peeing everywhere – his bladder hurt!
Sometimes it’s an infection and sometimes inflammation of the bladder wall. There are meds which maybe helpful. I’ve relinquished myself to the fact that I have a great cat who will ruin my life if I don’t take theproper measures. Turn your nightmare around and remember, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. I KNOW EXACTLY HOWFRUSTRATED YOU ARE. Rule out the physical and treat the mental.

Purrfect Kitty of the MonthMy name is Bradyand I’m a super-soft, approx. 1 yearold male in needof a quiet, lovinghome. I was some-
how getting by alone outside, until a nice lady decided tohelp me. I encouraged her by going up to her patio doorevery morning and putting my face up to the glass. Shecouldn’t keep me in her no-pets apartment, so I’m nowwith the rescue group. I’m a bit of a “fraidy-Brady,” butI’m coming out of my shell. I’m gentle and sweet withpotential for a lot more affection if I could find the rightperson to help me. I like other kitties and would getalong with your kitty, too!
As with all Purrfect Companion kitties, Brady is up-to-dateon shots, house trained and neutered or spayed.
Please contact Maryann for details on Brady, at 331-2221 orat [email protected]. PurrfectCompanions is a non-profit, all-volunteer rescue organiza-tion. We’re always looking for good volunteers.
