She's well loved, well cared for, and wants for nothing. She's not bored, and we play with her when she wants us to. She's ten years old. She was a rescue cat about 9 months when we got her. She'd been locked in a cupboard, fed and watered but locked up. She has NEVER liked going out, never been curious, other than on my back balcony. She's incredibly nervous and even runs away from me sometimes, MrPR, even after all this time. An affectionate playful lap cat, she is not! But she has started occasionally peeing on the hall carpet between 4 and 7 in the morning. Not every night. And she still uses her cat litter the rest of the time. I have had her checked out at the vets. She's healthy. She knows she is doing wrong. I hear her scratching the carpet and it wakes me up, then I go into the hall and there is the pee so she runs away. But what the bloody hell can I do? I have covered some of the area in foil, I have tried Feliway spray and diffuser, and have checked on websites for ideas but nothing's working. I love that cat. But something's gotta change round here! Someone suggested a Cat Homoepath. I don't believe in all that stuff BUT even I am thinking of trying that idea!
