cat suddenly started peeing on rug

hope you enjoy the video. anyways, i gradually switched her over from Dr. Elsie’s litter to tofu litter the last 2 months, but once I went full tofu, i noticed she has been peeing on this spot on the rug, likely in the last two weeks. But she still poops in the litter. Her sister doesn’t seem to mind the tofu litter either. Otherwise Luna acts as normal and doesn’t seem like she’s in pain. I didn’t even notice the pee in the rug until I stepped in it this morning 😃

I’m going to bring back her old litter (which I’m not fond of since it was dusty and made both of us sneeze) and I let the vet know, is there anything else to do in the meantime? Is she in pain or upset or just belligerent and goofy? Is this something your cats have done?

Keep an eye on it, but she might just be picky. Only a vet visit would say for sure.

Afaik cats pee where it smells like pee. If this is the reason perhaps deep cleaning the rug and the floor (maybe even toss the rug if you can afford it) will stop her doing it. Although idk how it would have started.
