Hi, At about 5 weeks old, I rescued 5 kittens who were born under the house across the street. I adopted one of them, the shyest, along with my 2 other cats.
"Forest" was scared of me all of the time... He would run away when he saw me, about once or twice a week I'd find someplace outside of the litter box where he peed. Otherwise he peed in the litter box. First thing I did was bring him to the vet, who gave him a clean bill of health. I got an extra litter box, so that there were 3 in my house, in different locations, as well as tried 3 different litter types... none of this made a difference. I would find that he peed on my bed, on the couch, in my laundry, on a book laying on the table...
About 3 months ago, I tried the Feliway plug in- the change in the cat was remarkable. He wasn't nearly as skittish and way more affectionate. The peeing outside the box still happened, but less.
I moved a month ago, and now have a roommate who also has 3 cats, so there are 6 in the house now. The peeing outside the box is now multiple times a day. We have 6 litter boxes throughout the house, yet he is choosing the carpet, or the seed tray I just planted. I just ordered some more Feliway, and put Forest in a room by himself...
I don't know what else to do?
