I have a 2 year old cat who recently started urinating outside his litter box. I have 2 other cats who's behavior have not changed. I took the 2 year old cat to the vet, left him over night, and they diagnosed him with a urinary infection through testing of urine samples, gave us antibiotics, and sent us on our way. He is still urinating outside the litter box. We started his treatment over a week ago, the vet said we would notice a change in his behavior almost immediately. Am I just impatient? Or is there another problem? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, Amber. We've been having problems lately with one of our cats, too. I hope Old Git sees this thread and gives some hints. She's definitely a cat expert.

Move the litter box over to where he is urinating. Obviously he can't see what he's doing when he's doing it.

If that doesn't work, smack him.
