Cat's Peeing Everywhere in Basement

You literally think that it's permeating the walls... Now, if you say that, and you live there, imagine what someone who DIDN'T have cats would think.

Lose the cats.

Hello, I have had this problem before. You can spray the area where they are peeing with a diluted amonia solution or they have no no spray at your local pet place like petsmart... also if they are pooping just outside the litter box what we did for that was a litter box cover so they know that this is the only area to go sometimes when they cover they're stuff the spray litter everywhere and get confused where the box begins and ends. If this does not work maybe take them to the vet they may have bladder infections and can't make it to the box in time...
Hope this was helpful.

Vinegar sometimes helps with the pee smell, and then the smell of vinegar fads as it dries. I agree to try the vet and get seperate litter boxes.

I have to agree with the hubby here. There might be a reason one of the cats started doing this, old age etc.... then the other cat followed. Ya never know. It is extremely hard to get that smell out! I LOVE Cats, thankfully our cat goes potty outside and comes back in. It is odd that he does that, we think that he was a dog in his past life lol... anyhow, I know from personal experience in my old home that the cat I had made it smell very bad and nothing i did helped. I had to get rid of him, I am sure it was his age as well.

take them to the vet and see if they have a kidney problem

you need a litter box for each cat, and they need to be cleaned at least every other day. Cats don't like sharing litter boxes too well esp. dirty litter boxes

Well, I'm not sure how to get them to stop going outside the box, except for figuring out why there are, what caused it. I had a cat once that refused to use the auto litter box so I had to put the regular one out again. To try to get the smell out try using OdoBan. It's worked for me. Good Luck.

My husband has a cat and we had the same problem. Unfortunately ours did it upstairs in the carpet. We've had to remove the carpet and subflooring to get the odor out. After years of struggling with this problem my husband would never get rid of this cat. (I would have no problem though), anyway to parrot other advisors, we have found that cleaning the litter box everyday helps. Cats are funny, they don't like change. If we tried a different litter she would pee in the house. If there is any kind of change in the household situation, she will pee. If she wants attention and doesn't get it or wants to go outside and we don't let her out, guess what...yup.

I don't really have any idea how to make them stop peeing, but I think that it would be a good idea to get them to the vet. We have 2 cats (and also have a peeing problem - one of them pees in our dirty clothes if we leave the bathroom door open! grrr) Well it turns out that one of them had a bladder infection and was causing her to pee outside of the litter box. I don't understand the thinking of "get rid of them"!! I don't know how attached you are, but to me our kitties are a part of our family. My hubby also mentions getting rid of our kitties. I tell him over my dead body. Sorry, but it's not happening here. I hope you can find some answers.

My cats did the same thing. I took them to the vet and it turned out they had a urinary tract infection. I would get them to see the vet ASAP.
