My cat is sneezing, has a runny nose, and pees outside the box.

Question

The past few days Ripple has been sneezing and has a slight runny nose. No eye discharge, no fever that I've noticed, no vomiting, no diarrhea, eating and drinking good. But he has also started peeing on things (I took him in awhile back for the peeing and was a behavioral thing not sickness) he is peeing in all the places he used to when he did this before. Not sure if he's peeing now because he's sick. He also smells like hes been using the cat box more often because he smells like the litter.

Hi there, It sounds like Ripple has a few different things going on, but that he is primarily fighting an infection that may be causing a respiratory infection and a urinary tract infection. I would recommend having your vet check him again for these things and start him on antibiotics. I would also use an enzymatic cleaner for the places where he already urinated, this is the only thing that will kill the scent and stop him wanting to mark it again. I hope that helps and thanks for using Pet Coach!
