Does Your Cat Urinate on the Carpet?

If your cat is urinating on your carpet instead of doing it in the litter box what might be the cause? The About.com: Cats article The Cat Peed WHERE? might contain the answer. The author indicates that the urination problem might be caused by a urinary tract dysfunction known as Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease or FLUTD for short. A previously used phrase describing the condition is Feline Urinary Syndrome (FUS). The cat may be experiencing pain with urination and may mistakenly link the pain to a litterbox.
