emb, With 6 cats, there's the potential for a lotta problems. Since you've eliminated a feline UTI as the cause, there's most likely some fear and behavorial issues going on. Is this cat shy, and easily bullied? If so, she may be possibly being hassled when she's trying to use the cat litter...

First, unless you are going to use her for breeding, I'd get her spayed. Also, have you determined with your vet if there's a medical problem? My Scout sprayed, and it was most likely due to two things: a feline UTI, and impacted anal glands. Does your kitty drag her behind on the floor or...

Just a thought - you may want to get the Feliway Plug ins and put a couple around your apartment to see if that'll calm them down a little bit and keep the noise to a minimum! Good luck,

First off, bless you so much for fostering! It sounds like a very tough job at best! From your description, I'd say its best to keep them apart for a longer period of time. I realize this puts a strain on you, but by keeping them separately confined, you're minimizing damage to the kitties...

There's a lady in Australia who's trying to market a kit to do this very thing...

Actually, your kitten is sending you a message loud and clear. She likes the cat litter box in that location, and she's letting you know the only way she knows how - by continuing to use that spot as her litter box! Is it possible they are using one box for liquid elimination, and the other for...

Leave it plugged in at all times. This way, when Cedar comes in, the diffuser will already be working. You can also try putting some Bach's Rescue Remedy drops into Cedar's food or water a couple times per day to calm him down. BTW, Cedar and Tipsy are absolutely GORGEOUS! Very...

They certainly are a great looking bunch of kitties! I think you're on the right track, given your situation. Continue playing with Henry, to see if you can wear him out. For the stressed out kitties, put some Rescue Remedy drops into their food/water a couple times per day to keep them from...

angelbaby, One other way to stop this is to set up your household to keep them separated from one another. In other words, confine one or the other at various times during the day. Yes it's a pain, but as you say, you're spending half of your life cleaning up cat urine. There's a couple other...

I beg you to take the poor babies to an emergency vet clinic, immediately. There's something being passed around, and all sick kitties need to be evaluated as soon as possible. Bless you so much for taking these sweet babies on as a project...I hope they get well very soon. I simply don't know...

And everybody will find happiness...think of the good time period you've given Imogen thus far...she'll be in a good family!

I think you hit it on the head - the new owners need to be very patient. This poor kitty has been through some very rough times, so she's going to need a lot of help. Please let the new owners know that keeping kitty separated for the first several days is a good start. She won't be so...

Since you've taken them to the vet and received a clean bill of health, you can cross off the feline UTI from your list of things. Next, I see where you moved and got a dog. For any pet, either event can be very stressful, let alone both. This is probably a behavior issue. Here's what you can...

You bring up a good point...the trust factor has to be there, but the cat has to demonstrate that she's using her box again. Confinement is never a happy time for owner and kitty, but it does work. The cat has access to her food, water, toys, and litter box, and the damage she can do is limited...

Did you know that you can also use the Bach's Rescue Remedy for yourself, as well as kitty? I do the drops from time to time when I'm really clutching at the ceiling tiles! Take care,
