Dixie is being a bad girl

at first I thought her inappropriate peeing might be UTI but it's not. So I've been giving her Bach's Rescue Remedy off/on to help the behavior.
I haven't found any pee on my stove Mad

or the boot trays since Ty and Squeak went home so I thought the issue had resolved itself.
Until last night.....
Dixie hates Zeus - truly it's hatred. She attacks him with no provocation whatsoever and yesterday evening it was bad enough I got the spray bottle out (hate doing that).
She laid into Zeus at one point them very calmly jumped onto the credenza and freak'in PEED ON IT. Right in front of me. OF course I didn't do anything to her but point my finger at her and give her a harsh lecture.
Then she went into the bathroom when Paul was in there shaving and pee on the floor in front of him!!!!!
I have ordered feliway.
One foster should be going home soon (Aeja) and hopefully she'll calm down with one less cat in the house. I think 2 fosters at a time is too much for her.
She's gotten so blatant in her behavior I'm surprised.
Bad Dixie Chick

Sorry you and Dixie are both annoyed right now. Hopefully she will stop peeing where she is not suppose to soon.

Sounds like you are having some frustrating problems. I hope the feliway helps and Dixie calms down. Pets can be a real challenge sometimes.

Bad, bad Dixie chick. I feel ya...I had those issues with Copper but I think his was litter related. Hers sounds like spite-peeing.

Good luck taming her.
