Hi guys, i apologize if this is a repeat post; i tried to find a post with a specific recommendation but didn't see one.
my f1 is having some "peeing out of the box issues" recently. we have had him for just over 2 weeks now and he has peed a couple times in the closet, the laundry basket and in this specific corner of the bedroom and of course the bathtub.I understand using the bathtub/sink is a natural instinct for him and honestly, ill take that if he stops in the other places
For the most part it seems like he is using his litter box though- i clean pee clumps out every day 3 times a day along with his stools.
i am trying to correct the behaviour by switching out the litter completely, got him a new and bigger litter box and got that dr elsey's kitty attract litter so hopefully that works.i've also made sure there's plenty of litter in there at all times. i also realize it could be due to stress from his new home since we've only had him for 2 weeks now. i don't think he has a UTI but will get him tested if the behaviour persists. i haven't noticed him do this in the past couple days but hey, i don't see everything!
he is still living in the bedroom(gets free run of the house couple hours a day) where his litter box is close by but near a good ventilated area, far from his food.
I've been able to clean the pee spots to my nose's standards but i was hoping someone on here would have a good recommendation for an enzymatic cleaner that they've used in the past that got the scent out so that their cat didn't smell it anymore. i don't want him continuously returning to the same spot if he smells it still.
i don't want to "release" him into the rest of the house until i know i have his bathroom habits under control.
thanks for any recommendations everyone,
Emily
