Ep 14. Pee Battle

In My Cat From Hell season 9 episode 14, titled “Pee Battle,” cat behaviorist Jackson Galaxy comes to the aid of two cat guardians struggling to deal with their cats’ inappropriate elimination habits.

First, Jackson visits with Jaclyn and her husband, who have been dealing with their cat, Daryl, peeing all over the house. Despite trying various methods to discourage the behavior, including purchasing multiple litter boxes and changing the type of litter, Daryl continues to mark his territory all over the house. Jackson observes that the couple’s other cat, Lola, is also exhibiting some territorial behavior and suggests implementing a separate play area for each cat to help establish their own space. Additionally, Jackson recommends changing the litter boxes to a larger size and placing them in more appropriate locations. With some patience and persistence, Jackson hopes to help Daryl overcome his marking habits and create a more peaceful environment for the couple and their cats.

Next, Jackson meets with Kiah, who has been struggling with her cat, Jabba, peeing outside of his litter box and on her bed. Despite Kiah’s efforts to clean the areas thoroughly, Jabba continues to return to these spots to pee, leading to a frustrating and exhausting cycle for Kiah. Jackson observes that Jabba seems stressed and uncomfortable in his litter box, and suggests trying a larger, uncovered box to give him more space and comfort. Additionally, Jackson recommends introducing more places for Jabba to climb and perch, as well as using a calming pheromone spray to decrease his stress levels. With a combination of these strategies, Jackson hopes to help Kiah and Jabba break the cycle of inappropriate elimination and create a more harmonious living environment.

Throughout the episode, Jackson also provides helpful insights and tips for cat guardians dealing with similar issues. From highlighting the importance of a comfortable litter box setup to discussing the impact of environmental stressors, Jackson’s expertise and experience in the field of cat behavior offer valuable guidance to anyone struggling with their feline companions. By the end of the episode, both Jaclyn and Kiah have made progress with their cats, and the future looks promising for everyone involved.
