[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 13 year old cat just started doing this, too. 
We just keep the bath mat or towel folded over the side 
of the bath tub, and place it on the floor only when we're showering. Is there a reason why this isn't possible for you?
Also, can't you just keep the door shut? [/quote]

OP here.  We removed all bathroom rugs, so she peed on a beanbag in the hallway outside our room.  Closing our door would not have prevented the pee on beanbag issue.  Also, our bedroom is her safe place (the vet calls it her territory...whatever, it's where she hangs out).  Any time we've closed the door, she sits outside the door and is very anxious until she's let back in.

My spouse has made clear that the cat is no longer welcome in our home.  Vet's recommendation, after determining that the cat is in EXCELLENT health, is to have litterbox in our bathroom.  Husband refuses.  I could argue this indefinitely and take a pro-cat, anti-husband stance, but I don't think that would bode well for our family.  Best bet for this cat would be single-level apartment with nice old person to give lots of attention and not scare her at all.  She needs to go.  Now we have to figure out how to make that happen.  It sucks.
