    Stopping Cat from Urinating on New Couch Before it Starts

    The feliway spray is definitely worth a try and I wouldnt mind adding a covered litter box next to the couch. I'm not sure if I'm ready to add more to the floors above simply because he doesn't have accidents up there its strictly in the basement.

    Stopping Cat from Urinating on New Couch Before it Starts

    My wife and I have 3 cats one of which we have always had on and off litter box issues with. We have had him since he was a kitten and he's about 6 years old now. When we were really having problems I must have read every piece of literature on the subject to figure out how to get the issues to...

    Re-directed Aggression

    We have been keeping the shades closed since the incident. We've been in our house for about 3 years and this is the first time they have been in the window when one of the neighborhood cats have passed by. Hoping that keeping the shades down will make a future interaction even less likely.

    Re-directed Aggression

    I appreciate the feedback. I felt like we were doing things correctly and have been letting the hissing go on and just monitoring. As you said might be a little something they need to work through. Cats sure are funny creatures. 4 years of friendship upended in an instant!

    Re-directed Aggression

    Perhaps I should clarify a little more the initial fight was very physical fur flying everywhere it got very aggressive and they couldn't even look at each other without getting very worked up.

    Re-directed Aggression

    I have done a ton of research on this and I think I am approaching this correctly but looking for some feedback or maybe just some reassurance. Some quick info. I have three cats Female (13), Male (8), Male (6). All neutered/spayed. All three have lived together for over 4 years. About a...

    Anyone Have Experience With Cat Behavior Specialist?

    We got him from a rescue and he was fixed when we got him he is about 1.5 years old, we have a female who is 8 years old, and another male that is two years old. Initially he had some bathroom issues when we got him but we were able to solve that and things went well for a few months. We went...

    Anyone Have Experience With Cat Behavior Specialist?

    Oh no you didn't frustrate me at all! I appreciate the link. The frustrating thing is that I have tried most of those suggestions to no avail. I guess I said bizarre because there doesn't seem to be a consistent pattern by Cooper. Some blankets he pees on some he doesn't. Some spot he pees...

    Anyone Have Experience With Cat Behavior Specialist?

    Thanks for the response and link to that article. I've read a ton on the subject and I am still perplexed on what the issue is. Like I said in earlier posts we have enough litter boxes, they are in different locations throughout the house, and we actually went with the storage bin idea instead...

    Anyone Have Experience With Cat Behavior Specialist?

    I did use an enzyme cleaner and I also have a black light flashlight that helps show urine markings but this is still a possibility he can smell it in there. The only thing that it doesn't explain is why he peed on our brand new quest bed? I can't figure out if it's the feel of the blanket or...

    Anyone Have Experience With Cat Behavior Specialist?

    I'm going to try and make this post as succinct as possible. So my girlfriend and I adopted our cat, Cooper, from a rescue group about a year and a half ago. From day one we had some bathroom issues with him as he had chronic diarrhea. This led to him pooping on blankets and occasionally peeing...

    To feed or not to feed, that is the question.

    Thanks for the kind words everyone. I know I did a kind thing but part of me can't help but feel guilty. Poor guy was picked up and dropped off in a strange place with so many smells and other animals. I know in the long run he will be better because of it and he did need some medical attention...

    Introducing Male Stray to resident cats.

    Thought I should post an update on our situation. It's been two weeks now since we took Dexter in and he's doing great. He looks much healthier and and is starting to adjust to life indoors. His relationship with our two resident cats is still a work in progress. He's still in his own room but...

    To feed or not to feed, that is the question.

    Just an update for those that have been following. I was able to get him to the shelter today and we may have a potential adopter in place. I will update again if our adopter does indeed decide to take him.

    To feed or not to feed, that is the question.

    So naturally I got home from work and had the carrier all ready to take him to the shelter and he was no where to be found. Shelter closed at 5:30. At 6:00 He comes strolling up to the door ready for his dinner 128529. I'm going to try again tomorrow hopefully he will be around when I get home...

    To feed or not to feed, that is the question.

    @Orange&White if it comes to them wanting to euthanize him I would most definitely take him back to the neighborhood and try to adopt him out myself. If I didn't just take in another cat from the neighborhood last week I would take him in as well. Trying to integrate one adult male into my home...

    To feed or not to feed, that is the question.

    @Orange&White the local shelter here where I live does a pretty good job of finding cats homes but I understand what you are saying. I will be sure to follow up wirh the shelter. I can't take this cat in but I am invested in his well being. Personally I don't think it will coMe to the barn cat...
