Cat urinates on MY NEW STOVE EYES!!!!!!!

Uhoh, that is not good. First I would suggest doing a major clean with a disinfectant. Then I would recommend trying a product called 'What Odor?'. It is an odor eliminator that does not cover up, but breaks down odor and eliminates it. I've heard good things about it. I don't know where you can get it, but I am sure that you can find it online. Good luck!

I feel so much better now!! All I did was a google search for "cat pee on stove" and wow did I ever come up with ALOT of links/posts!!

After reading all the various ways and places that cats have peed, I feel so much better that I am not the only one with this problem.

I have 5 cats. And as many litters. Yes I am very busy taking care of them. Three of my cats are outdoor cats, but they do come inside. They are NOT my problem children!!!

One of my indoor cats is. I know it's him. I have caught him once or twice, so I know it is. He has urinated on my countertop, in bowls left on the table/counters, on plastic bags, on the stovetop (in the burners - what a terrible smell when turned on by unsuspecting humans) and he has defecated in the tub and bathroom sink. Just about everywhere BUT the litterbox.

I have tried different litters. I even have three different types of litter on the go at once. I have tried the litter boxes in all the same place, and in different places. I now have three on one floor and two on the other floor, of my two story house.

Still he insists on doing "his business" everywhere but the litterbox.

I have used bleach and vinegar to clean the spots. It helps for a bit, but he just moves onto the next spot. Eventually he makes his way back to his original favorite spots. I feel as if I am running in circles and he is the puppetmaster.

Frustrated, you bet!!

But he is the sweetest, most affectionate cat I have ever had. He loves to snuggle with me at night, sleeping next to me with his head on me or my pillow. When I watch TV, I have to lift him off of my face so I can see the TV. He still thinks he is kitten-sized!! I can not move anywhere without him following me. It's just when he wonders off by himself that the trouble begins.

I really don't want to put him down. It would break my heart. He gets along great with the other cats. He cuddles with them too.

So what the heck is his problem??

Oh, well, at least I am not alone in this world with this problem. I feel a bit better!!

Good luck to everyone with similar issues!!

I have had this problem in the past too.  I"m guessing by "eyes" you mean burners.  Most normal stovetops actually come apart, believe it or not -- I discovered this after one of my cats did the very same thing as yours, and I was determined to eradicate the smell.  LOL 

The drip pans come out and the burners themselves even unplug and come off.  If you look, you can see where the coil plugs into the base of the burner.  It just unplugs like a regular plug into a wall outlet.  I'm not sure whether it would be a good idea to submerge the ENTIRE burner coil unit in water (by which I mean the plug part as well).  You could contact an electrician or your stove manufacturer for information on that.  But you should be able to submerge the coil itself, while leaving the plug out of the water.

In addition to the burners unplugging from the stove, the stove top itself should also flip up like the hood of a car to allow you to clean inside the stove.  Don't be afraid.  It's all self-contained.  There aren't any exposed wires under the stovetop or anything like that.

Any normal cleaner will get rid of urine that's inside your stove top.  Since it's not a porous surface it will come right off.  If you have pee actually inside the plug part of the burner coil... I'm not sure what to tell you about that.  Try contacting the stove manufacturer.  It may not make you feel any better, but any pee you can't get at will eventually "burn off."

Depending on the actual design of your stovetop and drip pans, you may be able to prevent future messes just by buying some cheap metal burner covers from Wal-Mart.  If rotten kitty does it again, they should keep the pee from getting into the burners.

Some cats continue to do things like this.  In my experience, when I've waited too long to have my male cats neutered and they've already matured and started scent-marking, this is something they will continue to do sporadically throughout their lives.  (The cats I've had neutered BEFORE they were mature enough to start spraying have NEVER had any problems with inappropriate scent-marking.)  Also if he's REALLY new to you, this may be something he'll outgrow once he fully realizes that it's HIS house and he doesn't need to mark territory.

If peeing in inappropriate places is a new behavior for your kitty, you may want to have him checked out by your vet, perhaps have a urinalysis done.  Such behavior is a common way for your cat to alert you to a health problem he's having.   

Good luck with the clean-up, and I hope your kitty is healthy!
