I usually leave the lid off - makes it easier to keep the litter cleaned out - and cuts down on the cats breathing dust when they are taking care of business. I use a box cutter, but maybe a Dremel tool would work? The clear plastic containers are harder to cut, so I get the colored totes if I need to cut. Sterilite tote: I just cut the hole up a little higher, and put a step up in front of the hole. The 30 gal tote has the hole in the middle of the tote, and some of my smaller 20 gal totes have the entry hole on the end as in my picture here. When spraying, a cat usually backs up to a vertical object like the side of a chair, a wall or a stereo speaker, stands with his body erect and his tail. The 30 gal is large and if you have room it might work better for you since he'll be able to get his whole body inside easily and direct his aim at the side that is high, and not the hole that you'll be cutting for an entrance. I have two sizes, a 20 gal, and a 30 gallon (I think). (He now uses a more anatomically correct 'stand-to-pee device'. Tonight's pee sprayed all over my walls and carpet.īuy an inexpensive tote tub - it has tall walls. Could Standing To Pee Be A Sign Someone Is Transgender Another thought that occurred to me is that a biological female standing to pee can, sometimes, be a sign that they are transgender I have a trans friend who stood to pee long before he came out as a 'he'. Unneutered male and female cats spray to mark their territory and attract a mate. Other than duct taping plastic sheeting on all sides of the wall for all 3 litterboxes in the house, are there any other suggestions? If I catch him stepping in, sometimes I give him a gentle nudge and he turns around to pee properly. While peeing is the physiological process of removing excess water and waste from the body, spraying allows cats to communicate with each other by leaving chemical messages (urine) in the environment.

Covered because his urine tends to spray all over. And since then, he's been having bouts of peeing standing up with his butt sticking out. Then he got allergies and was injected with depo-medrol, which caused the crystals lining hia bladder to shed, which required more pain meds. This can cause a sudden urgency for the bathroom that your cat didn’t expect. Treated for anal gland infection, then later vet found crystals in his pee. Since the 2nd week of May, he's been in and out of the vet office. My cat Tripper has decided to add shooting out pee from the litterbox to the list of problems. but if anyone can help, I'd truly appreciate it!

I am starting to lose my mind at this point.
