Help! Cat(s) won't stop peeing/marking?
Hi all! Sorry if this is the wrong sub, or a better one to post to, but I desperately need help. I apologize for this being so long.
Background: I live with my boyfriend and his sister. Sister moved in to save up for a home. I have 2 boys, he's has 1 female and his sister has 1 female. All cats are fixed and have shots. There are currently no health issues as well. Noticed his sister's cat peeing outside of the box once before (next to the litter), but never on shoes.
What we've done: bought the Feliway optimum wall diffusers and put them around the house. There are 5 litter boxes, some upstairs and downstairs. There are multiple cat beds and toys. 311
Individual bowls for everyone. Fully cleaned the house and used the Nature's Miracle urine destroyer as well. Also caged all cats for 2 weeks to retrain for the litter.
On to the issue: All cats have been out of the cages officially for 24 hours. Last night (because the issue only happens at night 😐) one of the cats peed on my shoes and right outside of the litter box. At this point, idk what to do. The sister says it's because of the outside cats (since I was feeding/watering one). This wasn't a problem until the last couple months. Since then, I have stopped feeding the outdoor cat. And also sprayed odor eliminator outside as well.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do? I'm thinking of recagging the cats (staggering as well this time), but starting with sisters cat.. which she is heavily against. 311
