With my recent FLV positive problem, I've taken away outdoor privileges from my cat Bob. We know the outdoor ferals have FLV, and don't want him bringing it into the house with him.
He has been in a week and is behaving badly. Besides the obvious trying to slip outside everytime we open the door, and going from room to room, window to window and meowling like the world just ended, he is spraying and peeing in all the wrong places. I caught him 2 days ago peeing on the cat tree, and this morning peeing on our bed. I have various shapes/sizes of litter boxes, some open, some closed. I clean them out regularly. I don't think it's the litter boxes, he is simply mad at us. Our house is old and has lots of nooks and crannies for the cats to find their own space.
He was king of the outdoors and is lower on the pecking order in the house. Any ideas on how to adjust him to life in the great indoors?
