Cat lovers really love their cats. But, one thing that they don't love is when they have a cat peeing everywhere. When this starts happening, no matter how much you love your cat, it can be difficult not to get really angry and just want to give it away, or take it to a shelter so you don't have to deal with the problem any more.
Most people who have ever had cats have probably had the problem of at least one cat abandoning the litter box. In a lot of cases, the cat owner just learns to deal with, and clean the messes as they occur.
This is fine if you don't mind having a house that smells like cat pee. If your cat is peeing everywhere, and you do nothing to stop it besides clean up after it, the odor is eventually going to start sticking around, and it is none too pleasant.
When you have a cat peeing everywhere, it is not only the mess and the smell that you have to worry about.
For example, if you also have small children that are crawling around the floor, chances are that they are going to crawl right through a puddle of cat pee. Or, your cat may be peeing on your clothing or furniture, which can be really difficult to clean and get the smell out of (using fabric fresheners often helps quite a bit).
You need to find out why you have a cat that isn't using it's litter box.
Is there a medical problem that can easily be taken care of?
Are you keeping the litter box clean enough?
Has anything happened recently to cause your cat stress, such as moving or an addition to the family?
These are all things you need to look at in order to take care of the problem of a cat urinating everywhere other than its litter box.
