    Kitten urinates outside litter box.
    My 5 month old kitten has been fine until today, when she went to pee. She started going in the box and then finished standing up and going on the wall!! Yikes!! She has plenty of water, I feed her kitten chow and 1 tablespoon of wet food in the morning and evening. What do you think the problem is? She just got a clean bill of health 2 weeks ago from the vet.

    She's probably just learning :) Move the box away from the wall so she aims better, it up to her to get it right :) If she is walking and weeing she might have a sore tummy or is just being impatient, monitor her over the next couple of days and if she keeps doing it and appears ill then take her to the vet

    It's time to check into getting her spayed.
    At 5 months of age she is starting to mature and could possibly be going into heat.
    By standing and urinating ON something she may actually be marking.
    Try a larger or covered litter box, but check into getting her spayed also, you will have a much happier, healthy pet.
