Cat Peeing In Its Food?

The first thing I think of when a cat pees in unusual places like that is: He may have a urinary tract infection. I think your question is one that needs to be directed to your cat's vet.

I would watch for other unusual behavior, such as straining when he uses his litter box if he is an indoor cat. Sometimes when there's an infection, they squat frequently, and for a long time and produce only a few drops of urine.

Please continue to observe him and get him to the vet if you think he is sick.

I hope he's okay.

What if its not a uti what if its behavioral because i just started my kitten on dry and hes had no problems going to the bathroom but hes a very very picky eater im almost 100% certain hes just mad that hes not getting wet food anymore but by peeing in the food my other cat cant eat what should i do ive cleaned the food dish and his litter box is clean

 

PLEASE, PLEASE take your cat to the vet and tell them what you have seen your cat doing, it may be a severe kidney infection - we had to put one down for this very thing as his urine had christalized within him.

Your both in our prayers!

Cats are very particular about keeping their eating and peeing areas separate. I agree with others who have posted that a visit to the vet is in order.

I almost feel like he's telling you what he thinks of that new food. (lol)

I just got to keep an eye on what the heck's going on because I don't know which one to take to the vet and they cost so much I need to take the one Pacific one that's doing the ping in the food it could because they don't like the food and they're letting me know this taste like crap and this is what we're going to do is she in it...

 

My cat throws litter everywhere when she uses the litter box. So I got rubber doormats to keep the litter from going everywhere. Then the cat started peeing on the mat. I thought it was maybe because she didn't like the smell of the mats, so I took them away. Now she is peeing on the cloth mat that is under her food dish. I've taken her to the vet, and she doesn't have a urinary tract infection, so I think it's behavioral. I can't figure out how to make her stop!

Same here. Her urinary health is fine and eats wet and solid food. She pees on her food mat though and will then still eat the food. Maybe territorial? Im tired of it!

Getting him or her nuetured

 

Have you got any other cats or animals? It may be a territorial thing?

My cat stopped peeing for two days. A quick trip to the vet-nothing. But, I had recently changed brand of litter.
