If your cat only pees on certain things, it might be due to stress, medical issues, or preferences for certain textures. Medical conditions such as urinary tract infections could cause discomfort, leading to selective peeing. Additionally, cats are creatures of habit and might develop a preference for specific textures that mimic litter. To address this, ensure the litter box is clean and inviting, consider multiple boxes in different locations, and tap into environmental enrichment. Consulting a vet can rule out medical issues and offer tailored advice.
