Question about male cats...

[kainrahl]

Has he been to the vet at all? I work in a vet's office and a lot of time cats who pee outside the litter box have a urinary track infection...Can be cleared up w antibiotics and in some cats with cronic urinary problems they can be put on a special food that will help with problems like that. Just a thought, as far as chewing on things he isn't suppose to a lot of animals who are younger chew for teething reasons, but also he might just be bored. Let us know how things go. Also you can see all the places he has been peeing by using a black light, that will also show you if you are getting the places you know of really clean or not. There are lots of products that break down urine, Urine Off being my favorite. There is also a prodcut called FelAway that you can spray in places that he is frequent to use for urination. They also make products and special litters that attract cats to the litter box. I would definatly get him neutered ASAP. Our office neuters cats as soon as they weigh 5 pounds and it only costs $40.

Yeah, he's been to the vet. Last december and last week. He's has all his shots and such.
He seems to be using the box...so maybe nuturing him helped. I still have two boxes.
This problem started after he was declawed the first time. vet said we couldn't use litter, had to use newspaper kitty looked at me like I was crazy. and went behind the tv... I said screw it, we always used litter with the other cats Once I put litter back in his box, he used it.

cool idea about the black light. I have one in my closet....
He was neureted last week. I only waited cause I thought they had to be a year, not 5lbs...not sure what it cost, $135 total to neuter and remove back claws. no shots since he's not due till Dec.

Kitty when little.

Kitty last Dec. (he's was watching the fw tank, when I called him to take the pic...)

Yes, the first time. Then I fixed that problem and it started again when I made this post.
However, I haven't caught him since he's been fixed!
