Hi,
I have a 12 year old orange tabby. He is both an indoor and outdoor cat and on some occasions have left him outside overnight. Tigger is his name. So for awhile Tigger was very good using his litter box and even had no problems when we changed home. Though for the past year maybe more, there's been instances where he will pee on certain spots on the carpet in my downstairs living room and has peed on some carpets in my various washrooms. As well he sometimes takes a poop near my dartboard and once or twice in a hallway. Though usually just those areas mainly. I don't know if he's sick, but I have thought about going to the vet. He always has food as I got one of those auto feeder and I did have a filtered water thing, but the motor broke so I just refill it everyday and sometimes it doesn't look like he drank that much from it.
I have no idea what to try and my mom is getting fed up. I could use suggestions. I read this once and thought it's worth mentioning,but half a year ago he had diarrhea or vomit as there were a couple areas that were juicy on my carpet and tile floors, but it only happened the one time so I never thought about it.
I do have one other issue with my cat. He tends to attack people namely my sister. He bites people for no reason an example would be with my uncle's gf. I wasn't here but apparently she was petting him and he was being very nice and adorable and 30-1 hr later he comes back and she starts to pet him again and then out of nowhere he bit her. He bites when people pet him, but its random and out of nowhere he attacks us. He's biting me just sitting down on the ground watching TV. Though usually the back of the foot. Is this a behavioral thing. Like I;m not paying attention to him, he wants to play, wants food(though he has more than he can finish) or is he an a-hole of a cat?? lol
To add one final note, I personally spend most time in my room and when I come downstairs for food or whatever my cat sometimes follows me around in the kitchen almost expecting something and then as I go back upstairs he bites me before I even take a step and this is the usual scenario. Also I have a cat bed for him in my room which he uses, but ya have no clue as to why he has these two problems as we are very nice.
