Question
my cat urinates on my new rugs, bought months apart, different rooms

Answer
Hi Howard,

In my introduction I ask peole to provide as much detail as possible when asking a question. Your question does not even state how old your cat is, how long the probem has been going on or any information that would help me answer your question! In the future please provide a lot more details.

Cats generally urinate outside the litterbox due to a medical condition or because they don't like the litter box. The following article answers your question:

Expertise

I can answer questions on: cat nutrition and diet, behavior, behavior problems, training, general health, socialization/taming feral cats, TVAR, trapping feral cats, feline nutrition, and cat care. My favorite questions are on the topic of nutrition and I have special experience with hyperthyroidism in cats. Please do NOT ask me if you should take your cat to the vet - if you have any reason to suspect your cat is ill or injured please call your vet immediately!
