Cat keeps weeing inside!
Hello!
My cat is approximately 14ish years (queried as we got him from RSPCA and he was rescued).
In the last year he’s began weeing in the house. He only does this on surfaces that are soft and has never had a wee on the carpet/sofa or our wood flooring.
We’ve had to resort to barricading any surface thats soft otherwise there’s a high chance he will wee on there. Last night we forgot to do this and he ended up going to the toilet on a yoga mat that had kids toys on…
He usually goes to the toilet outside but he goes through phases where he manages to find somewhere he can go in the house and will do it 2/3 times a week.
Our vet had said there’s a high chance he as dementia, but it just seems odd that he can go a few weeks only going outside and then “forget” and wee inside instead.
Is there any reason for this and how can we prevent it from happening? The smell of cat wee is so hard to remove! 833
