In reply to Twilla Friesen. It may be feline idiopathic cystitis, where stress causes the lining of the bladder to become inflamed, and they try peeing in many different places in search of comfort. It comes in cycles, happening for a few weeks until it passes (then restarts). Speak with your vet about anti-anxiety drugs (for the cat, of course). It made a world of difference in our family. Good luck.

In reply to Lillian Ferguson. I use cat litter tray liners (Savic to match my Savic tray) and a long lasting cat litter(Intersand Classic Unscented) It is designed so that you clean the whole tray once a month. I clean with WeeAway(contains natural bacteria that break down the smell) Then put in a liner and fill the tray to 10cm depth. It clumps instantly and quickly allows removal of soiled litter whilst leaving all the clean behind. Just keep it topped up and deep and then at the end of the month dispose and start again. Recently to try and save money I have removed the clean litter and re-used it in the bottom of the new tray. My cat is an in/out cat but she has kidney issues and does BIG wees LOL

I hope the spraying fixed male cat has gone to the vet as it sounds like a UTI. We had a boy kitty who started this – switched to wet food (eventually home made), added a dish of chicken broth (low salt) daily to improve liquid intake, multiple litter boxes – using storage boxes which were larger and deeper than traditional litter pans with very deep litter cleaned twice a day. UTI’s are terribly painful for a boy kitty.

I have a fixed male cat that started spraying all over. Closet door….frig. Stove, TVStand, Book Cases, kitchen chairs , Kitchen counter,, Windows. I put doggie pee pads where he has sprayed. ugh…house looks terrible. I started taking them down a few at a time. He does good for awhile….then all of a sudden I find spray on one. Was wondering if he thinks it’s ok to spray on the pads cause they are there. He gets mad if we don’t let him outside when he wants. We have to alternate with a female cat he doesn’t like. She’s an outdoor cat and he is mean to her all of a sudden. We have been keeping her in the computer room this past winter. Let her in & out the window. A few times the door got left open when she was outside…hecwent in and sprayed all over. Today he tried to get in there and I chased him out…he ran into kitchen snd and sprayed all over a little bench the cats all lay on by window! I’m at Mt wits end with him. Tried the Felway plug-ins the calming collars…nothing works! What can I do????

In reply to Kathryn Darling Rankin. How is the owner supposed to know if your cats in particular will take to the pee pads? Honestly.

In reply to Lillian Ferguson. Yes, you do need to change your litter. My cat started bleeding from urethra, and then she started peeing outside of her litter box. Finally, I realized the problem! I had not been changing her litter, just scooping it out. I'm sure that she was irritated from the ammonia that had built up in her cat box. Check your box of litter to see how often it needs to be totally changed out.

I have a 17 year old cat who sometimes misses getting her pee in the litterbox. I would like to use pads to catch the urine in the area outside the box where it tends to end up.

I have two questions:
1. What is the attractant that is used in the puppy pee pads? How does this attractant affect cats?
2. there are multiple products (with charcoal, without charcoal) – which is best for cats? How does one decide? I wish you would make a pee pad that was labeled as being specifically for cats.
