Hi, he definitely is as he came from the shelter.  Thanks for the suggestion - we will schedule another visit.

Thank you! I've signed us up for this.

Hi all.. our Jax cat saga continues. In May DH and I went away for a 10 day trip. The cat sitter came by twice daily to feed/play/scoop boxes. Upon our return, Jax started urinating around the house. We've taken him to the vet twice - they said his bladder looked a little inflamed. We've done...

had a vet visit last night... poor guy was so scared. vet drained his severely swollen anal glands and took a urine and stool sample. we are waiting to hear back on those results. he did pee on my bed last night (probably getting me back for the vet visit), but this morning he high tailed it...

bumping this up as he has urinated on both of our sofas now. :( any advice?

Thanks Zed - I'll try that tonight.

i have... 4 right now. :( i have 2 cats... our first cat will poop in anything (and has always been consistent). i ordered some feliway refills that are coming today. he again was cuddling with me last night.. then jumped up and did it. same thing happened this morning.. but it looks like he...

Hi Molly, Thanks again for the added insight. We had box problems with him for about the first 4 months after bringing him home. It got better in December, and then in January we went 2 months straight with him consistently using the box. Then one Saturday morning the running and pooping thing...

Hi Molly, thanks so much for your thoughful reply, we really appreciate it. he definitely has an appetite - i'm greeting by a series of meowing from both cats at feeding time. the other problem we think that might play into this is he is declawed, and we are his third owners. he was...

Hi all, So our recent addition who I've written about before is having a new set of issues. We had gone 2 months without any litter box problems, but now we have a new one. Jax will all of a sudden start running like mad, drop a poop, run more, drop another, and so on until he is done. I...

Thanks Columbine - I'll get some of those for him.

thank you. he's been in his room and we went out to dinner, came back, and he pooped on the sofabed. sigh. my husband says he loves him so much but at the same time i don't want my house to turn into a kitty box..lol. i might call the vet tomorrow to see about some kitty prozac.
