I need help with something I haven't seen addressed specifically. I have a 6 month old male who has been litter perfect up to now. This morning I awoke at 4 am awash in pee. Through the blanket, sheets and down to the mattress. While cleaning I passed through the entry hall and there were 3 piles of poop, one right by the door and two on the welcome mat I had brought inside. This has to be deliberate behavior; UTI would only affect urinination.
So I'm sitting here with bedclothes in the washer and odor all around trying to figure out what made him mad (assuming that is it). One possibility is that I had my daughter's cat here for 4 days so they could play (and one day they will breed). The other kitty went home 2 days ago. Could he be upset she left? Seems if he didn't want her here he would have done that while she was. I also started to give him a can of gourmet food at lunch everyday (in addition to the dry that stays out) but he constantly campaigns for more. Or he may be mad because he is a voraciously affectionate cat and I have to keep pushing him away (although this isn't new).
I have him locked in the kitchen and he's not coming out until I get this figured out.
