About a month ago I noticed a very slim and lanky black bobtail camping out in my yard, slowly I gained his trust and got him eating a proper diet. Already having 4 cats, I was reluctant to move him in, but when the weather dropped to freezing and he was puffed up sitting on my porch chair, I decided to house him in my garage. The following day I took him to the vet to get his shots, do various tests, ear mite treatment and to get neutered. I was informed that I had a very large and healthy 16lb boy that was about a year old. Over the next few days I slowly started introducing him to his brothers and sisters and that's when all hell broke loose. He is sweet and cuddly with me, but very standoffish with them. His howling in constant and extremely loud; he sounds as if he was dying. Along with the howling we are having bathroom issues. He refuses to use the litter box in the house even though he used the one that I had set up for him in the garage the first night. He has left my several stinky presents and well as puddles, even when I am staring directly at him. I have tried reprimanding him and then taking him to the litter box and telling him good kitty, but this doesn't seem to work. All of my other cats (the first two were feral kittens) have had no issues with howling or the litter box. I am at a loss of what to do. Please help. Thanks.
