Hi I’m new here & I’m desperate for advice or similar stories!
I have a 8 year old male neutered cat. I’ve had him since he was 6 weeks old. About two years ago he started pooping outside of his litter box, I have yet to get him to start pooping in his box again. Now for the past 8-9 months he’s been occasionally peeing around our house. Usually on furniture or my sons toys. I have tried everything under the sun. He has been to the vet many times, he has been given antibiotics “just in case” he takes an anti anxiety pill everyday, I have added boxes, changed litter, make sure the boxes stay clean, I have put items on the furniture to make it impossible for the cat to even jump on the couches, I have blocked areas of the house so he doesn’t have access, I have confined him to a certain area of the house so he can have direct access and easy access to his boxes, I have bought “scat mats” to put on the furniture. I bought new furniture when we bought our house and spent thousands on stuff and he’s peeing all over it! I have a 1 year old son, 4 other animals and we both work full time. Today after I found a huge pile of pee on my sectional and ball pit for my sons I told my husband I’ve had enough im putting him down! Now that I’ve cooled off a lil it makes me sick to my stomach I’ve come to feel this way. But what else can I do? I can’t live like this. He isn’t nice, and even if he was who would want a cat that doesn’t pee or poop in a litter box? Im so heartbroken but mad and sad at the same time.
