I'm about ready to go nuts dealing with this male cat we've had for 10 years. Here are his problems:
1. He mastrubates. Yep, you heard me right! He takes clothes, blankets, stuffed animals and has his way with them. We'll wake up in the middle of the night with him moaning. Go out into the living room and he's there looking at us with one of the above mentioned items laying beside him violated. It makes me sick that I have to lock everything up to keep him away from stuff.
2. He's obese to the greatest extent so we control how much he eats. He gets fed very small amounts twice per day. The problem is this cat will not shut his pie hole for nothing. I have to lay cover fire with a water sprayer just to get into the kitchen at times.
3. About a year ago, he just up and decided to start peeing all over the place outside the litter box. My wife is ready to kill him because she has to mop the laundry room floor almost everyday. I mean he soaks the floor good! Read the faq posted here and I see relations but nothing concrete. He's been fixed for almost 9 years, we do have an outside cat that sticks around, but he didn't have a problem with him for the 1st year we lived here so why does he have a issue with him now? We've dealt with urinary tract infection before, but his problem has always been that he cannot pee so given the amount of urine he leaves on the floor, we ruled that one out.
My wife was ready to take him to the pound the other day because of this. This is really bad cause she loves her cats (we have 4) and it really caught me off guard when she said get rid of him. I'd like to be able to do more, but we both work and by the time we get home, this isn't something we're fond of dealing with. The other 3 cats have lived with us nearly the same amount of time and other than the occasional scrap, they get along fine. All are fixed and de-clawed.
**BTW-All cats are strictly in-door and have been all their lives. They were de-clawed because they were slowly destroying our carpet and tearing leather furniture that cost us several thousand dollars. Yes, we did try clipping, covering of the claws and they just kept right on ripping.
