Cat Is urinating outside of catbox.

[vavavroom]

It’s what male cats do.

Females spray, too. Less, though. I was under the impression the OP's cat used not to pee outside the litter box so something must be triggering this behavior.

My male cat has taken up peeing in the house by a wall. He has a clean litter box that he poops in.
I am frustrated as to what to do except getting rid of my pet, whom I like very much.
Any cat owners who have solved this problem and solved it humanely?

Haven't seen this brought up yet. Is he fixed? Toms spray if they're not fixed. Best to fix them young so they never develop the habit (comes with sexual maturity). Always get toms fixed. Females will do it when they're in heat. Love ours to death, but prefer dogs. Wife's a cat girl. Lol

Had a cat that peed down the drain of the bath tub . I think it was either urinary tract infection or diabetes .

There is a link between diabetes and UTIs. Urine contains normally little to no sugar but in diabetic humans and animals, there is glucose present in the urine. Glucose is a nutrient for bacteria and yeast.

Not a cat fan........why? Because every cat I've ever owned has found a place to pee in the house outside of the litter box. Typically behind a TV or couch. It never mattered what I did. No more cats for me.

Not unusual when something is medically wrong. It’s not unusual when cats aren’t feeling well for them to pee outside the box. Definitely needs to go to the vet.

He was diagnosed with diabetes and lived for 5 (6?) years after during his 17 year life . Gave him a shot(s) every day before his wet food . He would stand still while giving him a shot between the shoulder blades . Very laid back cat . Many fond memories .

He did end up having a pretty long life. Diabetes in cats is not unheard of. It could have been due to age or due to an episode of pancreatitis. He was lucky that he didn't develop kidney disease as a comorbidity. Cats have very fragile kidneys and kidney disease means they are on borrowed time, I suppose you had to check his blood sugar a few times a day. Kudos to you for helping your friend.

It was twice a day every 12 hours or so for the shots with him eating PURINA Pro Plan urinary tract health wet food after . Miss him .
