Cat urinating on clothes on floor

16:07:50

Question
"I have a 3 year old male cat (he is one of two male cats, both neutered, both absolutely love each other), who is urinating on any clothes, bags, rugs we leave on the basement floor. Only in the basement, and only things cloth-like. I noticed it about a month ago, but wasn't sure which cat it was. This morning I witnessed the one peeing on something on the floor. He slowly sniffed around the basement for a good 5 minutes and then found his spot. I've had to throw away numerous clothes, bags, etc. that I have sniffed out. Thought I had everything up off the floor but he always finds the one thing I forget. I have a vet appt tomorrow for him to rule out Urinary infection. Any ideas?"

Answer
Hi Leigh-Ann,

Sounds like he has a urinary track infection. When he gets back to the vet you are going to have to clean the basement with a enzymatic cat urine cleaner. If he can smell where he went he will go back there. Doing this will stop that. And if you don't have a litter box there, put one in the basement. This will also help. Good luck.

Ciao, Karen
