How can I stop my cat from peeing on the carpet?

Had to pull up the carpet in front room because he has been peeing on it. There had been dogs in here years ago. My cat wet carpet so much, it smelled. I have used the "OUT" fro pet stains but it hasn't worked. Now he has his 2 potty boxes in the Lr and this morning he had peed on the carpet right in front of the boxes! Some days he will 'go' in the boxes, but most days not!

    Sounds like a trip to the the vet should be made to have the cat checked out thoroughly for any infections.

    Get rid of cat. It is almost impossible to stop once they start. Or put him outside.

  • Schedule a vet visit. You want to rule out any possible signs of infection.

  • If the kitty isn't fixed then spaying/neutering will help a lot. Also make sure the litter box is cleaned daily.

    Yes, a vet check is in order to make sure there are no stones or infection in the bladder, also they may want to do a blood workup to make sure there are no hormonal changes. Sometimes there are stressors in the house we may not see, such as your cat looking out the window at another cat and it is time to mark it's territory.

    Have you changed brands of kitty litter, that may be a factor too.
