Please Help!

I just recently got two cats. They are sisters from the same litter. One of them is doing just fine, but the other one has some problems. She has been urinating on our carpet a lot. Nothing seems to work to keep her off of it. We have used many different products. She also has a bad odor that seems to come out of her butt. I dont think this is part of the problem, but she also seems to need a ton of attention. She is constantly licking us and gets mad if you dont let her. She is also always licking herslef. She has odd behaivor and we joke around calling her ADD kitty, but im wondering if there really is a problem there.

Some cats need more attention than others and can be quite fussy. However I do wonder if in this case your kitten is stressed by something. i say this because overgrooming and urinating outside the litter tray can be signs of this.

I would recommend that you give her some litter training on her own in a seperate room. this will also give her time to get used to a smller space which helps to build confidence. see the process for litter training at the bottom of this page https://www.our-happy-cat.com/cat-litter-box.html
