Freshly Neutered Male baby peeing on futon

If you knew that, why did you do it? I sort of doubt both of them would have destructive scratching habits at so young that couldn't be corrected and you lived with them for 3 months so far. Rental agreements requiring declawing can, in some situations, be negotiated. (note: I'm merely asking because hopefully in the future if you are in a similar situation you can arm yourself the the knowledge to know how to correct it without resorting to declawing)


Just in case, you need to get Sabin back in to see the vet. Have his feet checked as there could be a complication, also have him checked for a UTI - the stress from just being at the vet overnight could have been enough to trigger one. Hopefully the latter is the cause because it's a heck of a lot easier to treat.

Get some feliway diffusers. Though they're acting normal they have went through stressful events lately and these can help.

Get the finest softest litter you can find and never switch from it if you can help it. Dr Elsey's Precious cat makes some very fine ones and one called Cat Attract (plus the additive by itself) for cats that don't consistently use the litter box.
Make sure you have 2-4 boxes for your two cats.

The reason you need to use a fine soft litter is because many declawed cats have extremely sensitive feet, others are left with life long pain from it. They will avoid the courser litters and will go find softer more comforting places to pee (your bed). In some declawed cats inappropriate peeing becomes a life long habit that is difficult to control.

Before switching to a fine clay litter, do consult your vet. Make sure the kittens feet are healed enough for it to be safe to use.


You are using an enzyme cleaner to clean? Which one? Many on here tout NokOut, but you'd have to order it online.
