hey everyone i have posted here a few times before... i have 2 cats about a year and a half old, and i took in a kitten about 1.5 months ago.
the kitten has been to the vet already, but i have to keep him separate from the other 2. one, because i am scared he will spray, two because he will claw my new furniture, and three, because the other cats fight with him.
my question is, he has a biiig room upstairs with a window he can look out into the neighbor hood, a cat tree, some couches to lay on, toys to play with, dry food and water, a comfy bed and covered clean litterbox... and a nightlight at night. he is very spoiled....... he usually opts to lay at the bottom of the stairs (he even knocks his bed over to be able to lay down there) and he waits for me day and night.
he has gotten into this new routine of every time i went up there to check on him, his water would either be filled with litter and food, or knocked over on my carpet.
so i then tried getting him an automatic water and feeder to avoid knocking it over. this doesnt work- now his new thing is to put toys in there, and then rolls them all over the carpet while they are sopping wet. JUST YESTERDAY, I CAUGHT HIM DOING THIS: he STANDS his 2 front feet in the water when he is drinking!!!!!! and then walks around right after. i now have an old upside down coffee table where his water is so that he cannot soak the carpet. but he manages to get so much water all over the table and rug in a matter of hours. i am SO completely lost on what to do.
he also jumps at my leg when i go up there and attacks my feet. he knocks pictures over, eats away at the couch, etc etc etc.. you name it.
i got him august 4 and he was about 5 weeks old. (found him at a gas station) when can i have him neutered already????????? hes nuts! not like my other 2 when they were babies.
i have no clue how to handle his behavior but i need it to change ASAP or my fiance will want to find him a new home and i don't believe in "throw-a-ways" if you know what i mean! (giving the cat away after they get attached)
HELP! THANKS
