Can you please tell me what to do and more about her behavior. I'm from India, Karnataka. Climate is moderate in this month. It's time for winter but it didn't arrive till now. Thank you.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Inappropriate urination is often a medical issue and possibilities include feline lower urinary tract disease, a urinary tract infection, urinary tract stones, among other possible medical reasons. Another possibility is that this is behavioral in nature. I recommend using a litter box if you have not tried that yet. I recommend that you have Minnu evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to check for these possibilities and treat accordingly. Good luck and best wishes!
