Every morning our 8 year old male cat scratches a piece of furniture (usually closest to where he's been sleeping).  This is after he's been inside for the night and ready to go out.  I have bought an upright scratching post and covered it in catnip but he does not seem to be interested in it...

Could it be when cats get old that they can't control their bladders and just let go (just as geriatric people do?)

We have a 14 year old black female cat who has been hiding in our basement for several years. She has always been reclusive and nervous, but since the introduction of a new cat 2 years ago she has gotten worse. We have a cat door down there but she will not go outside. She meows at the...
