I am at my wits end. I wish there was a cat whisperer like on tv for dogs.
Actually my whole family wishes there was someone who could help us. I have called Davis Vet College and they want so much money to talk to you
plus is extra amount for any other cat/pet involved.
I have 6 cats (3male 3 female) one of the males is a terrible marker. I understand he is protecting his space. I know he is the dominant male. I know a lot of things that bother him make him into this horrible marker that makes my life a living hell. Am so embarrassed to have people drop by sometimes, esp if it is early int he morning and I have not had time to clean up his markings after a night of prouling through our home.
I love this cat so much, heck I love them all. I try to catch him in the act and give him time outs. Didn't work
he has gotten worse. Last few nights when I catch him marking I put him in the garage. In the morning he gets to come back into the home.
He will stop marking when my husband yells at him, and take off running. When I yell or squirt him with water or try to get his mind off it, he just continues to spray then runs. I don't know what to do. He is my problem kitty.
Since he has been locked in garage last few nights, the other cats seem at ease in the home. I guess it is my fault for pampering him for so long.
Not sure what to do
at this point. I can't/won't give him away
no one in there right mind would put up with his behavior issues. I won't put him outside to live. I won't put him to sleep.
I just so sad seems I spend so much time scrubbing and cleaning anymore to no avail. He even does it on my kitchen counters GAHHHHHHHHH even around the food dishes I put out up there because i read that a cat won't mark around his food. They have 10 little boxes in the house and I clean them daily. I have seen him use the little box, so not a problem there. He is just so high strung.
LittleFoot sleeping in a window bed right now. When I walk by he talks to me and I can tell he wants pets, but I am trying to ignore him so he knows he has been a bad kitty.
If anyone has any ideas please reply.
Oh and there are now three new non neutered males on the block
that are outside kittys.
I know it is not all LF's fault, he is just being a cat. So I hate to be punishing him.
