What is your relationship with the cat? Did you bring an animal into the relationship as well?
She could be simply marking her territory - so that another person or pet knows she was there first. Its her place, and something is interloping. If she feels at home with you, it might stop the problem, with no vets or meds.
All of your posts have been very helpful. Thank you! I know ultimatums are never received well and usually have a reverse effect. This is why I have not demanded it. I have respected the fact that her cat is this way. I have gone out of my way and bent over back words trying to help resolve the issue, clean up stuff, and even separate my clothing and most of my belongings from the area where the cat is at. However, it is causing more and more problems with us personally and not just financially.
My girlfriend is genuinely frustrated about the situation and wants to resolve the issue. Her cat has been tested and does not have any urinary tract infection. The problem at the end of the day is a mental instability with the cat. The cat is nervous most of the time and hides whenever people come over. The cat does like me. The cat will run from everyone but us.
The vet gave us medicine in liquid form since the cat does not take well to pills already. My GF is going to get another opinion from the vet about what we can do. However, this can be a lot of cost and experimenting before we might find something for the cat.
My girlfriend does not want to confine the cat to just one area, because she feels it would be unfair to the cat. So this is where I am at cross roads....
She needs to medicate her cat. There are also ays to re-train a cat to use the box but they require confinement.
My cat did this and there was an issue. There were other cats outside around our house and he would freak out over that. We had to get rid of those cats and the problem stopped.
There is usually something going on when a cat does that. It could possibly be a territorial issue. Did the cat do that before you moved in?
