He is sleeping on my lap and being a little angel now. He hasn't had any accidents, since his surgery and it definitely seems like he mellowed out. I could play with him for an hour and he still wanted to play more, which was getting a little exhausting. Here's a picture of Geppetto.

I dropped him off at Banfield this morning. They said he doesn't have a UTI or any other problems down there. I was disappointed at the results, since I was hoping it wasn't a behavioral problem. They are sending me home with some pain meds, which they said might chill him out a little. He has...

Hi all - His appointment went well today. I took him to a place that offers free neutering with a grant and wrongly assumed that they would be able to check for a UTI. I am bringing him to Banfield tomorrow morning to get that checked out. He is doing well. I bought a mattress protector, so he...

Thank you for your reply. I brought him to his appointment. They are going to check for a UTI too. I noticed his urine was dark yellow yesterday, so it very well could be an infection. Will keep you posted. I am trying my hardest to make it work for him here at my house. If it doesn't, I will...

I have Geppetto in the bathroom now. I don't know why, but I feel like kind of a psychopath having him locked in there. Hoping everything goes smooth tomorrow. Wish us luck.

I don't know why I'm getting upset reading these replies, but when you wake up to your beloved cat peeing directly on your face, it seems like more than a litter box issue. I did pick him up and put him outside. He is not scared of me at all. He runs up to me and won't leave me alone. But I will...

I can't keep him in my room if his favorite place to urinate is my bed. I can't afford to buy another mattress and if he starts peeing on the carpet, we will never get our security deposit back. Would the bathroom work for a few days? I'm sorry if I sound insensitive, but this urine thing is a...

Thanks all for the replies. Another alternative is to bring him to my mom's house. She has a cat that is in need of a companion. If it was something that my roommate did to him, I'm sure he wouldn't feel that comfortable here anyway. I don't think he's vindictive. He runs up to me and acts like...

Geppetto came back after the dog incident this morning. I kept his appointment for his neutering tomorrow at 8:00 AM. I asked my roommates if I could bring him inside tonight, so he doesn't miss his appointment. They agreed with the plan. I went to the bathroom for a minute and when I came out...

Good news! The rain broke and I saw Geppetto out in the backyard. I called his name and he ran up to me. It was an amazing reunion. He ate all the Fancy Feasts he wanted. It wasn't without setback though. My one roommate agreed to watch a friend's dog at our house for the weekend. He came out...

Thank you for your reply. I always had Purina Kitten Formula dry food out and would give him a can of Fancy Feast every night. He really liked the Chicken Hearts in Gravy. Are UTIs common in male kittens? Thanks again!

Thank you so much for replying in such detail! One of my roommates wasn't excited about Geppetto coming inside in the first place, but he actually warmed up to him when he saw that he was behaving himself. Once he started peeing and scratching furniture, he may have gotten the sense that there...

Hi all - I am a very inexperienced cat owner and have had some tough luck with a cat I recently brought in. This little kitten was living in my backyard and I started feeding him. A few weeks into it, he let me pet him and we started to bond. Now the hard part... I had to convince my roommate to...
