Peeing Mostly on the Kitchen Counter
I have two cats. One or both is peeing on the kitchen counters. One is obsessed with constantly going into the kitchen and jumping on the counters when I am not in the room. This same cat has been restless and meowing at me. Besides checking with the vet, are there other suggestions to prevent this?
Thanks,
Seamus

Hi Seamus
Thank you for reaching out. I’m sorry to hear about the issues with your cats peeing.
Can you set up a webcam to determine which cat is peeing on the counter, or whether both are? Identifying the specific cat responsible is crucial.
Can you recall when the peeing behavior started? If the same cat is also restless, meowing excessively, and the peeing is a new behavior, I recommend scheduling a health check with the vet to rule out conditions like Feline Idiopathic Cystitis (FIC), urinary tract infections (UTIs), or cystitis before considering any behavioral triggers.
A cat feeling unsafe or stressed in their environment is a significant factor in eliminating outside the litter tray. Happy to email you a Feline stress audit to check whether your cats are stressed.
Preventing the peeing behavior will depend on the underlying cause or trigger for the peeing incidents.
I hope that helps, and you can get to the bottom of it soon.
