Spartacus
Savannah Super Cat
We need help. Spartacus, our 11 month Savannah has started a bad habit.
Once sometime ago I found pee in our guest bathtub, yes our bathtub. I thought it "might" be pee but didn't really give it much thought because we never had any problems from him.
Twice with company over, he peed on his toy our rug and one of his toys. We assumed he wasn't getting enough attention.
However, for the past week, let's see he peed, not sprayed, once again in our bathtub, on another toy, in the spot where that you was, a spot he has never peed on and I think he has sprayed twice upstairs. As far as the spraying, he looks outside a window where he can see another cat so I think that's why he sprays in the corner. Not acceptable, but neutering is something I'm not positive we want to do right now since he isn't full grown. We are going to try making it where he can't see out the window.
Back to the peeing, we thought he was mad at what we were feeding him as he was doing the "burying" motions. We didn't change his foods, but basically as a treat a couple times a week we would feed him raw meat instead of his raw meat frozen patties and canned food. We assumed he wanted just the raw meat, which we were planning on starting to make our own anyways once we find the right grinder and get all the ingredients. Anyways, so for the past 3 days, we have fed him raw meat and I've still found one pee spot.
I could be wrong, but I don't think it's a UTI. It's too precise as to where he pees.
Any suggestions on how we can fix this and get him to stop, or are we going to have to figure out WHY he is doing it first? Even though he is spraying upstairs could be be peeing downstairs over that cat too?
