I am sure all of you have been waiting for some update....
Mittens has done better, but still urinates outside of his box about 95% of the time, so we have to keep him confined for most of the day. When he is in one room, I am constantly having to clean up after him. His attitude has changed and he loves to be brushed! Every night I sit on the kitchen floor and he walks over to me and starts purring and we spend about 10 minutes grooming and he just adores that; I think that is his favorite part of the day. We have started to let him go outside more, but with the rainy weather lately, we haven't been able to really let him get use to it. He still needs his yearly shots and wanted to get him a id tag for his collar before we let him out during the day. It's still very frusterating because of no real change in his "peeing problem". July 4th we let him in his room for a long time, and he did use his box 3 out of the 10 times he peed all day....huge improvement. The only thing I don't understand is right after he pees, he scrunches up and acts like he has to poop. Then, he climbs in his box and poops (sometimes). The only thing that I can think of is that he licks himself so much that he has irritated the skin and therefore, gets upset when he does pee (that's why he scrunches up). Once we get him use to going outside, I think he will take his mind off cleaning himself all the time. Once we move and have a enclosed back yard too, I will feel better also.
That's about it...

Candi...your tender description of Mitten's brushing session, validates every thing that you have gone though with your sweet boy.
I am deeply touch by your love for Mittens.
