Ok Here's the story: I met one of my friend's grandmother Virgie. I noticed a litterbox and asked how many cats she had..she said one that she wanted to put to sleep. I asked why..she said that he used to use his litter box and now all he wants to do is spray the back door and other doors around the house. Now he wont even poop in the box and goes on newspaper she keeps by the back door to collect the worst of the spray. She said he just stopped using it for no reason and that she's sick of cleaning up his mess. If he doesnt start using it soon she's putting him to sleep. I tried to get her to give him away instead and she said that people now days are cruel and will not treat him good. I tried telling her about moving the box, covered vs uncovered, different litter, and etc. She said she's tried most of this and that even the vet said that he might as well be put to sleep (what kind of vet says that without testing him first!!!!). This cat is healthy and normal acting. He's just slightly overweight and several years old.
Can anyone think of what to tell her about her cat? I hate to see him be put to sleep if there is a fixable reason that he suddendly stopped using the litterbox...Thanks
