Some of you may have read the cat urine thread where I talked about Spencer and his "urinating out of the litterbox" problem.
He has been amiss abuot the litterbox for several years (at first only pooing outside it) but improves/stops in spurts here and there. We tried Ovaban (some hormone or something) it didn't work...I tried beating his butt (that worked for a little bit)...but now he has started the pee-pee thing.
It is really on my last nerve. The vet gave him an antibiotic a few weeks ago b/c he said he white count was high in his urine...things improved, but now he is doing it even worse. I read several reasons they do this on the internet, and also that this is one of the biggest reasons cats are put into shelters. Unfortunately, I believe it! -_-
I took him in early this morning to stay at the vet all day. My vet thinks I am
anyway...and I told him this morning to do any test he felt appropriate-urine, blood, x-ray, psychiatric...etc..He DIED laughing...but I was serious!
Not that I WANT anything to be physically wrong with him, but I would be much more relieved to know there was a physical reason rather than just a behavioral-does that make sense?
Anyway, I go to pick him up after school.
I am not sure of all the options if he does not stop.
A friend of mine had hers put to sleep for this reason, at about Spencer's age.
Another alternative would be to live most of his days in large crate with no run of the house.
I don't know if belly bands-diapers are an options...etc.
Anyway-got it on my mind today...I wan't some news...but I don't know what kind...ya know?!
