Well...the headline states it. I have been on the board now for the same amount of time I have had my cat. He is a handful. If I can't figure these problems out soon then I have to find him a new home or shelter him. He is causing so much stress in my life and it is falling back to him getting worse because I am stressed. My cat is anti social, except for food of course. So the issues...
1 - 5 scale issue. 1 Least priority, 5 high priority.
1. He poops in front and in his litter box. (About a 2)
Well...There is a mat in front of his box and he ALWAYS poops on that. I tried so many things with no luck. Bigger litter box, new litter. Nothing helps.
2. Scratcher...(About a 5)
My cat has plenty of items to scratch but still chooses the couch from time to time. That really irritates me. I understand the cat is stress but this is driving me crazy.
I know this doesn't seem like much but this is really stressing me out. He doesn't love us, we can't pet him. My girlfriend and I are at our wits end. What do I do? What did I do wrong? This cat makes me feel terrible. I try to feed him and play with him but nothing works to build a relationship with this animal. I know he has been through a lot for still being closed to a kitten (about 12-13 months old), but I just dont know how to rehab this behavior. Please help.
