Emily, lovely orange cat who doesn't want to be touched or loved and looked at has now taken, for no reason, to peeing on my big blue chaise, which is just about the last fucking straw that I have with her. Since moving in with me two years ago, she has peed on my laundry, my bath mat, the cat bed, my winter coat, and other stuff that I can't remember at the moment, because I'm too mad to think straight.
So, question, dear friends: do I give up and take her pain-in-the-ass to the pound and be done with her, because the alternative there is for me to shoot her in the head, or do I just *keep* on putting up with her pissing on my belongings on a semi-regular basis?
Answer quickly, friends, because my patience is nearly at an end.

hope all goes well.
that, and lots of febreeze.
1. your kitty does not want to be "touched or loved", but she has consented to be part of your home, which means she recognizes love, care, safety, etc.
2. but she pees all over everything.
It is very likely that your cat has some kind of illness. I would start by guessing that if she is an older cat that she may have a great deal of plaque; like humans, problem teeth lead to a great many other health issues including general malaise and fitness. Even my dear sweet lil furbaby got crabby when her teeth got bad. I will warn you that a teeth cleaning is not cheap, because it generally must be done under anesthesia and therefore costs around $200-250.
If it is not that, there may be another issue, ranging from diabetes to allergies to anything of any kind - in short, she needs a blood profile and an exam to see what may be the issue. Blood tests will run $50-250 plus exam costs depending on how deep a proflie you want to do. (I'm basing this on costs here; they may be less expensive in your area).
Let us know what happens! I hope she is OK.
