I have two cats one is a male who is a year old, the other is a female who is about 8 months old. They both have been giving me trouble.
I will start with the male. He is very destructive. He knocks things over and breaks them. I have taken two lamps that were in my living and hidden them in a closet because he kept knocking them over and causing the bulbs in them to break. He has climbed on furniture to knock down pictures I had hanging on the walls. they also had to be hidden. He has chewed holes in the blinds in the living room to point that I had to replace them. He has clawed my couch so much that stuffing is coming out. He kept trying to get in the kitchen cabinets so i put locks on them. He is constantly getting into everything. I've tried playing with him and making sure he has toys to play with but he spends so much time being destructive.
The problem I am having with my female is that she constantly pees and poops on the floor. I have a litterbox for each cat and they are in seperate rooms. I reward her when i see her use her litterbox but she still goes on the floor. One things I have noticed is the male sometimes goes up to her while she is in the litterbox and bothers her, so I wonder if that has anything to do with it
Any advice would be appreciated.
