This is getting absolutely ridiculous.
Our one cat (and occasionally one of the other ones) is recklessly peeing and pooping on the floor in my room. It's been going on for months now, if not years (we didn't notice it until months ago, or it didn't get as bad, at least). We put a litter box right in the area where she's been doing it and she just pees and poops near the litter box instead. I've had to clean up both pee (on the television!) and poop in the last hour or so. When I catch the cat in the act I end up chasing her around the house spraying her but that's just temporary discipline and probably a bad idea in the first place because she thinks everything is a game.
Earlier my mother told me she was seriously considering giving the cat away. She loves the cats very much, so to even hear her suggest it shows the severity of the situation. Other than keeping them out of the room (the door is broken and they'll find a way, believe me) how can this be remedied?
Thanks!
