I spoke this week with two cats in
Canada who's person, Mandy, had noticed that one of the cats had urinated in
on some furniture. Mandy contacted me to help find out who the
responsible party was and to see if there were any underlying health
issues.
My first suggestion in a situation such
as this is to have the cats seen by a veterinarian to rule out any
health problems. Since there were no health issues found by the
veterinarian we knew this was more than likely a behavioral problem.
Cats will report they urinate for a
variety of reasons but often it has to do with the other cat/s living
in the home, as was reported to me by Ms. Murr whom I spoke with
first:
Ms. Murr: Ms. Murr, whom I spoke with first, indicates to me that
she has urinated outside of where she is supposed to go. She is a
little tentative but I reassure her that myself and her person are
only trying to help.
Me: Why are you doing this?
Ms. Murr: "I have a particular side to
me that likes things a certain way." She actually referred to a family
member and compared herself to them, saying that she is similar in
that she is, "very sensitive and needs her environment a certain way."
She kept saying that she wanted "privacy." She showed me
in images that she needs to feel that she has a small place to go and
be by herself-away from the other car, Venus, sometimes. She said
that she would like her own litter box in a private spot.
Ms. Murr also indicated that she would
like to have “special affection time” without the other cat
around.
In addition, I suggested to Ms. Murr's
person that she might want to try using a cat litter called "
Cat
Attract" that sometimes helps in situations where cats are
not urinating in their litter boxes. Also, cats can be helped by
spirit essences such as
“Safe
Space For Cats," and
“Young
Living Oils.”
***Please note that when using Young Living Oils is
important to consult with an individual who is experienced and
knowledgeable about using these oils with any animal and how to dilute them as well as which oils to use to avoid toxicity. Be aware that cats
are extra sensitive to oils and less is needed for cats than for dogs.
