There is probably a better NG to post this in, but I don't know where
it is.

We have two cats. They use their large litter boxes in basement just
as they are supposed to. However, one or both of them also urinates on
the floor up against the wall and the lowest step going down to the
basement. We have never been able to catch them doing it - just the
wet spot with the strong urine odor.

One of our cats is a neutered male and the other a spayed female. We
just don't know what to scrub it with what to use to keep them from
doing it. The spot is only about five feet from the nearest large cat
litter box. We use the clumping litter and completely change it when
it takes on a urine odor.

Do any of you cat lovers have a suggestion that has worked for you?

How old are your cats?

Is this a fairly recent problem?

Di you recently change food types?

Did you recently change litter types?

Been to the vet lately?

So many possibilities, the worst of which is failing kidneys which
make them feel like they have to urinate all the time. They tend to
pick a spot other than their litter box and use it repeatedly.

It's more important to find the root cause of the problem instead of
trying to find a way to stop them from urinating in that particular
spot. My guess is that the spot isn't the reason.
