Good News!! I finally discovered the culprit was ROXIE!!  ...when we first moved, I had tried having all three boxes in the laundry room, and thought maybe they're too close to each other, so I moved one into my office. That way, they're separated and there's a "bathroom" at either end of the...

Thanks for the confirmation! It does seem to deter him, do you think he'll forget? OR find somewhere new? New development last nite - He's always done it when I'm asleep or not home but last nite, he and Roxie had an altercation, no actual physical contact, they swiped at each other like a...

Thank you for your reply! I've been making sure to spend time playing every nite, I work long days sometimes... He was surrendered before I got him at the Ozaukee County Humane Society in 2012 because the people who had him had small children, and he began peeing on their toys. I thought it was...

Brutus is my 9 year old Orange Tabby, everyone's new best friend when I have company, and a great cat... I moved about 3 weeks ago, and while I was packing to move he started pooping in the double wide recliner I sit in every nite... I figured it was because he didn't like the changes happening...

:clap::clap::clap: Roxie is HOME. She plays with toys, loves looking out the window, I've figured out her diet and she's not a "pukey kitty" anymore! Roxie seems to expect to get petted every day, now. This morning, she sat on "her" chair in the dining room, waiting for breakfast, and I'd swear...

I've been able to pet Roxie several times a day now, for short periods! I try to anticipate her cut off point, sometimes I get it, sometimes not, but she lets me come back for more. My daughter stopped by with a friend, and of course Roxie vanished into my closet in the bedroom, it's her 'go to"...

Roxie blooms like a small explosion then leads to more questions... Over the last two days, she has repeatedly jumped into my lap and allowed me to pet her head, chin, ears neck... she really gets into it. I couldn't hear it, but today I could feel her purring!!!! However, if I go past her...

Roxie continues to show confidence, sometimes her tail is straight up in the air. Love that. Tonite they're chasing each other, sometimes it's her sometimes it's him doing the chasing. Roxie gets right up under his tail with her nose... what is she doing??? She knows who he is... why ? Sometimes...

Taken this afternoon... enjoying the sun together!

THANK YOU! I do have places "UP" where they can get to windows in every room except the kitchen... I've noticed that Brutus can't walk past Roxie without a growl... he seems to be trying to give her space, he even trilled gently as he passed her on his way to the kitchen this morning, and she...

Ok, looking for advice, opinions, experience.... the growling "yelling" and chasing/running has escalated as of a few days ago. Roxie is being aggressive toward Brutus, and I've seen that sometimes he instigates. They seem to be more territorial, less tolerant of each other, mostly Roxie. Other...

I believe that Roxie and Brutus are working on negotiating the hierarchy of the household. I had not before now seen her "mark" areas like Brutus does, with his facial glands... she's just beginning to do that this weekend! She's so funny... I steam mopped my hardwood floors today, and when I...

It's been a while and I've been enjoying the progress but failed to share... there's lots to tell. I have limited opportunities to pet but when she's receptive, she gets into it for a few seconds, then realizes she's getting petted and growls or swipes and then retreats for a day or two. She's...
