My cat keeps either spraying or pissing on the couch often randomly when I step away? (lemmy.world)

What can be done about it, she's a sweetheart but this is honestly fucked. Pepetuay clean and maintained litter box, I am exasperated as I just caught her leaving some moistness where I sit

She is spayed

Cats get very little moisture through drinking. An average house cat gets something like 1/12th of a teaspoon of liquid per “lap” of their tongue. You would be better off adding some water to its dry food, if dry food is all it is fed.

Wonder if there's like a cat gravy thay "turns" dry food into wetfood

Is there a reason you're unable to provide wet food? I know it can be a bit more expensive, but my vet said even literally a tablespoon of wet food a day mixed with some water is extremely beneficial for their health and will lead to lower vet bills over time.

Some people, vets included, have this notion that wet food is a treat and should be given sparingly.
