WHY IS MY CAT PEEING IN THE HOUSE?

Consider the type of litter box or the location as well. If the sides of the box are higher than your cat is comfortable stepping over, he might avoid the box. If it's in an area where many people walk or near a noisy appliance, he might not feel comfortable. Test different sizes and shapes of boxes, some with covers and some without. Put them near where your cat is spraying and make sure you have them on every floor or both ends of your home.

Insecurity and Stress Can Lead to Pee Issues

Feelings of insecurity and stress can also lead to your cat peeing in random parts of the house rather than in her litter box. Maybe you

 adopted a new dog or cat, and now she feels insecure. If your cat is fighting a lot with another cat, you may need to reintroduce them before the tension goes away.

The problem might even be as simple as a feral cat wandering outside at night, making your cat nervous. Whatever the situation, your cat may be marking her territory so she feels more secure. This type of insecurity mi

ght even lead your cat to pee in unusual areas, like on

 your bed or your clothes.

Or perhaps you're leaving for work more frequently than you used to, or you're having guests over more often. Even rearranging your furniture or doing something as simple as getting a new refrigerator might throw off your cat's sense of well-being. Cats don't like change, but they also can't speak out and voice what bothers them. That's why cats tend to act out instead. They don't do this because they're mad; they just need to relieve some pent-up frustration.

Sometimes the issues are even more challenging to identify. Maybe a loud noise happened outside while your cat was using the litter box. Perhaps she once had a health issue that interfered with her using the box.
