Hi everybody! I am new to this website and need some serious advice. I have three cats in total. One female who I rescued (Little Miss), I took her in not knowing that she was pregnant. The kittens all went to great homes, unfortunately except for one. About a year later after she had her babies, I got a phone call from a friend who said that one of her kittens had been abandoned due to the person getting evicted. I went to rescue him and had noticed that he was a feral cat of the neighborhood. He was in rough shape and must have been an outdoor only cat. He had fighting marks all over him with a gash on his face, that looked very infected. Also had prior frost bite on his ears! My heart melted that I let this wonderful baby go to such an awful person and I knew I had to get him to the vet asap. He (Junior) was well taken care of by the veterinarian and healed up very nicely. I also got him neutered. When I first initially brought Junior to my house, he had some behavioral issues. Peeing on the carpet mostly. I figured this was due to him mostly being a feral cat before. The behavior was corrected things have been great up until recently. I have since then rescued yet another cat. (Shrek) All the cats get along great and love to spend time cleaning each other and cuddling Shrek has recently had to have the PU surgery and can no longer have dry food. This is tough with two other cats who have always had food left out for them. My only conclusion I could come up with is putting the regular cat food in a closet with a door and open it and feed the two cats twice a day. Once in the morning and once at night. I have also had to switch all the litter in the house to yesterdays news. Junior is having a very hard time adjusting to this. He has started peeing on the carpet outside of one of the litter boxes and right in front of the closet where I keep their dry food in. Does anyone have any suggestions? It's so frustrating that Junior has fallen back into old behaviors, and I understand cats don't like change but please HELP!
