Hello all. Let me start off with a little background. We have 3 cats, a 4 year old male Persian, a 7 month old female Bengal, and a 7 month old male DSH (similar looking to a Russian Blue) Bruce, Harley, and Grayson (Any Batman fans out there?) Anywho, the problem is with little Grayson...
We got him 2-3 weeks ago from one of my co-workers. Ever since we brought him home he has had problems using the litter box. At first we thought it was nerves and stress from being in a new place, but after about a week with no improvements when going to the bathroom we suspected other reasons. Next up, the vet. We took him there after noticing a small amount of blood in his stool. They said he has a parasite and gave us some antibiotics. They told us to keep him away from the other cats so Grayson got a nice new setup in the bathroom. He has been in there for about a week now getting his meds just like the vet directed. We noticed his stool becoming, for lack of a better word, more turd like and less runny. But still not in the box. We have cleaned the heck out of the tile floors multiple times to try to eliminate any smell and still no luck
His behavior is normal, he eats well, drinks lots, and whenever you go in he leeches any attention he can get. If you sit on the toilet, he will be in your lap within 10 seconds. He loves his head scratched, he purrs like crazy when you do. Hes not showing any behavioral problems, so why the heck wont he go in the box?! We have tried 3 different litters, continuously keep the box clean and no luck. He sometimes uses it, but most of the time doesn't.
Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated, as we are both running out of options...
