Assuming there is no medical issue, what you may be dealing with is that some cats find it absolutely necessary to urinate on something that has a rubber scent.

If that is the case, you have an uphill climb to stop it. Often, keeping it out of reach is the only approach.

Yes, you can treat to remove the urine scent, but if there is a rubber scent involved, that is only a temporary solution.

I used the urine products to erase the scent. My easiest fix though, I layed down tinfoil where I don't want my cats urinating. They hate tinfoil.

Last Summer I had a basket to keep my flip flops in by the door and my cat used to get into the basket and pee. I obviously got a new basket this summer and she never once went in it. How old is your cat? Im sorry I dont have any suggestions for you...they might grow out of it! HOPEFULLY RIGHT?!

If you’ve already been to the vet and ruled out medical problems (sometimes cats with bladder disorders have weird peeing habits, and these disorders can be dangerous and need to be caught early):

1) Sometimes cats pee on things because of the smell. There are cleaners and sprays that you can buy at the vet’s office or at a pet supply store that will remove the urine smell and discourage the cat from peeing there again.

2) Sometimes they pee on things just out of habit, or just that something in their little kitty brains tells them "gee, that’s just begging to be peed on!" I don’t know why this happens. One of my mother’s cats used to pee on any scrunched up blanket or towel that she found on the floor, especially a wet towel or bathmat in the bathroom. The only way to cure her was to keep towels off the floor. When we did that she was not inclined to pee there.

They do make urine be gone products that you buy at any good pet supply store.I would also suggest that you buy a storage container at Walmart with a lid on it.The wet boots will drip in the bottom of it and you can keep your cat out of it by putting the lid on it.Hope this helps!

Neuter or Spay your cat. That is probably the main reason he or she is peeing in other places, other than their litter box.
