Unfortunately his way of ‘helping’ with laundry, is by peeing on it.

Thankfully, Lou does not do this. But I’ve known many kitties that do, or did; so you are far from alone in this unfortunate problem.

Assuming you want your clean laundry to stay clean, and not get piddled on, click to the next slide.

First, you must deodorize all fabrics that have been urinated on

Gather up the ‘blessed’ material that is washable, and prepare to wash it according to standard laundry rules; light colors together; dark colors together; whites in their own bundle.

If there are dry clean only items, please consult your dry cleaner for assistance.

Run a few inches of water into your washer, add about 2-3 shot glasses full of Cat Odor Off Concentrate. I sell this on my website www.livelovemeow.biz If you have another product that works well for you, by all means use that according to the product directions. Add laundry soap of your choice. Swish it all around to get a good mix.

Add the material to be laundered; run it through the wash as usual.

In extreme cases, you may need to repeat this step.

Dry clothing.

When clothing is dry, immediately hide it in a place where the cat can’t urinate on it.

How Do I Stop My Cat From Urinating on Clothing

Hide the clothes! (I know this sounds overly simplistic, but it seems to work pretty well in some cases)

Destroy the odor that encourages kitty to urinate on clothes again

If there is an infection or underlying illness, treat it.

If there is an anxiety issue, deal with that.

In other words, approach the underlying issue, and deal with it.

How Will I Know Which Underlying Cause To Deal With?Carefully observe your cat for signs of anxiety.

A nervous cat doesn’t always present as ‘all nerved up’ or scared. Some anxious cats actually present as aggressive, rough and tumble, and super territorial.

Carefully observe the urinated-upon items for spots of blood. This could be a sign of crystals, or an infection in the urinary tract.

Carefully observe the amount of urine. If there is what seems to be an excessive, or deficient amount of urine produced, this could be a sign of illness.

If you suspect your cat is ill, please consult your veterinarian.Your veterinarian has many options for either

medical, wholistic, or behavioral treatment of cats with inappropriate urination issues.
