Sometimes if a cat has a UTI they'll pee outside their litter box because they associate the box with discomfort. She needs to see a vet ASAP, though.

latter days and the in-retrospect first sign of the at-that-time-unwitnessed seizures was an unexplained puddle of cat urine. It happened a few times (not unsure exactly how many because she was indoor/outdoor) before we saw her having a seizure and therefore could report such to the vet.

My elderly female dog would dribble pee, and the Proin fixed her right up. My male vet was trying to so gingerly tell me about females, aging, and bladder control.

I remember it being rather inexpensive. It took a few days to work, but then it was great. Her dribbling would return if we screwed up and didn’t reorder it on schedule.

I have a problem with one of my cats...

Do cats get senile?

Charlotte, my 16 year old calico is peeing in spots around the house, and today, she stood in front of me and peed on the floor.
