Hello to everyone. Here's my situation/problem that i'm hoping someone can give me some suggestions on. We have a total of 5 cats. (We just got the 5th cat back in October of 2002. The cat we've been having problems with is 3 years old. She's a Belanese (sp?)who was spayed at about 1 years of age. All was well til January of this year then it started. First she started peeing in my fiance's studio in the back of our house. So the cats are no longer allowed back there. She does always poop in the litterbox but sometimes she likes to pee on our bed, on the bathroom mat on the floor,or on clothes that may be left on the floor. I just had her at the vet over the weekend. Urinalysis was fine by the way. She's not sick, she's just being a little brat! and washing king size sheets and comforters a few times a week is not fun. Nothing has changed in her life except the addition of our 5th cat, Isadore the Manx. All 4 of our cats get along great (they are all indoor cats) but we've had a real problem with them accepting Isadore as a new sister. Sweetie and isadore get along fine however but they don't treat Isadore like they treat each other. I hate to close off the bedroom to Sweetie and the other cats and the studio but i don't know how to get her to stop peeing. We even put a litter box in our bedroom. How romantic! It didn't help. We've tried the convertible little box and the covered litter box. My vet told me we should have one litter box per cat. I don't know where i am to put 5 litter boxes! (that isn't going to happen). They have 2 and there's never been a problem with only having two. I clean both of them atleast 4 times per day. We live in a city so they don't go outside. We're getting married in two weeks and i would love to be able to go away for a week and not come back to cat piss in my bed or wherever she fancies. She always pees on horizontal services not vertical services so i don't know if that Feliway would work or not. We've tried disciplining her and that also didn't work. Sorry to be so long winded, but what can i do to get our little sweetie from being such a demon? Other than this, she's the perfect little girl
