ready to kill the cat2007-11-25 12:25:11

I have 2 kittens who are brothers, I have had them since they were 1 week old (sometime in may). They both use the litter box, however one of them wants to pee in the dogs food bowl. I dont understand why, or know what to do about it. He only does this when the bowl is empty, has never done it while food id in the bowl, so when its empty I put it up. Then one day last week i came home from work int he morning and there was a plastic grocery bag in the kitchen floor the cats had been playing with the night before and while putting my things down the cat came and peed on this bag right in front of me. No clue why! I clean the litter box everyday and they both use it no question. Any ideas of why or what to do?

Answers:

He may have a urinary tract infection.before getting to worked up and trying all these behavioral tricks.and getting really frustrated make sure there is no medical reason he is doing this. Bring him to the vet to rule it out! also, is he neutered?? He might be reaching sexual maturing and is now spraying.or "marking" if thats what you wanna call it.this will not stop unless you get him neutered. And iof you let it go on too long, even neutering him may not help.it may become a learned behavior.Good luck!

I'd guess to claim his territory, but I'd call the vet & ask for some help

goood luck

sometimes its a territory type thing. My cats did the same thing at first, I had to put a second litter box out. and even though they both used both boxes the peeing stopped. now they tend to use one box for number 1 jobs and the other for number 2 jobs.its kinda funny how they do that.
