Our cats pee EVERYWHERE!!! Outside the litter box which we have 6. The kitchen counter( the windows are even scratched from them the walls thoughout the whole house, furniture, any corner or wherever they feel like it! We've tried everything! And my mom wont get rid of them.

@Cernunnas female cats tend to pee on things so u left that out

there can only be 2 reasons why a cat urinates outside its litterbox. one is illness. when cats urinate around the house (specially males), they can be trying to tell you theyre sick. examine the urine, check if its slightly pinkish (blood). male cats are very prone to suffer from that kind of sickness. the other reason is territorial marking. this can be fixed easily by neutering them. a neutered cat will be much happier and you will too.

Those are some good ideas. But even more important is to 1) get rid of the urine in that area, 2) figure out why the cat peed outside of the box in the first place, 3) fix the problem.

Planet Urine has a powder that is excellent at getting urine out of carpet. I used it for a few incidents. But you'll need a power vac to really suck out all the powder+and the urine it as absorbed.

One possible cause of the problem is not keeping the litter box clean enough. But there can be others.
