mikeman Posted November 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 I went out for awhile and when I returned he had used the litter box again, so I have a randy moss cat - he uses the box when he want's to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGS 9.5 Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 Common Walter, get it together. I'm sure living with Merlin can make you act out, but get it together cat pal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGS 9.5 Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 But seriously as a cat owner Merlin, he probably also developed a UTI. That could very well explain the erratic peeing outside of the box sometimes while also peeing in it othertimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get him back to the vet, easily rectified. Sometimes by the time they need to go they just don't want to use the box. Weird, but that's what my vets have told me.

IAG Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 UTI was my first thought also. Or if you have had any disruption/ change in the household —workers, rearranging the furniture, or anything off could cause it also. Poor Walter.

Hi IAG, hope you are doing great and enjoying the holidays! Great tip on the house change stuff, cats take that seriously. They do NOT like change, albeit the simplest of things.

Will be like living on a beach and kitty problem solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeman Posted December 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 Update time, he did it a couple more times, I took sleepy's advice and put another litter box out and he's using it, hasn't done it again for about 3 days now. I might have finally got through to the little guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Hoffa Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 The cat dynamic is such that he feels that your role is to accommodate his needs. As he sees it, you are the one in need of his attention. He tolerates your presence in exchange for food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike75 Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 I had my dog 13 years and when he passed in 2013 i got so down about it i didn't think i'd get another pet again. Five years later which is 2018 my son brings this young cat in people were moving and gave away and we started calling him Mr. Kitten and he lets us know when he needs to go outside to go go relieve himself. We let him go out and he is a real fun cat. Well about a year ago one night Mr Kitten came home a bunch of small kittens followed and we ended up adopting one as they were most likely his especially since some looked identical to him. Mr. Kitten is solid black and a great cat Well here recently we adopted a third cat that only has one eye she is a calico we call her Brownie. Already told my son,daughter,wife this is the limit on cats. After all this is the first time i have ever even had cats as pets since i was younger we always had dogs. We do love them a lot......

mikeman Posted December 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2021 Quick update, he's going into the new litter box but sometimes he's missing and half ends up inside and some dribbles over - I had laid down newspapers and towels around the box but I'm tired of checking them to see if they're "wet". So i bought a big plastic tray that extends a good 6 inches around the whole thing - now I'm set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I buy them this cat food in a portion container called Sheba they go crazy over those as well as a treat called temptations they love those too. They also eat Friskies as well.
