cat peeing all over

i know some one who's cat is peeing all over the house. she has taken him to the vet and they cleaned out his bowels and put him on medicine, but he still goes all over. any ideas why he does it or what could stop it :?:

 

I sure wish I knew... :roll: Nothing has worked for me but here is what I've learned SHOULD work:

And did you mean bowels or bowls? Because I don't know what his bowels would have to do with peeing.

Did they do a urinalysis on him to rule out an infection and/or crystals? Does the owner keep the boxes clean? Has anything changed in his routine? Is he fixed? As I said, nothing has worked for me so far... :cry:

 

This has worked for some people, for scratching the furniture too.

Vets can prescribe diazepam (Valium Rx) or buspirone (Buspar Rx but they usually have some side effects.

In a book called Good Cats,Bad Habits-the Complete A to Z Guide for When Your Cat Misbehaves written by Alice Rhea ( a judge for the Intenational Cat Association(TICA) and the editor of TICA Trend, a magazine. She's been a cat trainer for ten years). The whole book is on the possible cause, prevention and correction of a whole host of problems concerning felines.Under" Defecating Far From the Litter Box " she says " when cats urinate or defecate in an unusual place, it's a signal that something is out of whack in their world. Defecating at a distance from the litter box indicates there may be a disturbance in its vicinity . ... try to determine whether anything changed in the house to cause it. Has the litter box been moved to an unacceptable location( it ) needs to be moved to a relatively quiet spot away from the heavy traffic pattern....cats will try hard to confine their elimination to the litter box but if they can't get to it in a reasonable time they will take the next available spot .. an inquisitive dog, a rambunctious child or an adult who walks too fast or too heavily pst the litter box may may her feel the the box is not in a safe place...like people , cats like a little privacy and peace and quiet when they are using the toilet.... do not scold or punish her - she is not doing it because she wants to but because something is wrong. ....cats are naturally fastidious creatures. given their choice they will always use a clean litter box that is placed in a quiet convenient location . Place the litter box in quiet , low-traffic areas where there is some privacy for the cat. Make sure that the location is such that she cant accidentally ber closed out of the room where her box is located. Train children and dogs to respect the cat's right to privacy."

One woman tried this. She had a cat who had been urinating on the sofa and chairs for 3 months. She used a covered litter box( for some reason) and placed it in an easily accessible area , destressed the cat's life as much as she could ( she'd gone through a divorce and there had been a major upheaval, a move to a smaller apartment and every thing was cramped and stressed) and that was that. No more problem as of that hour.
