Let me start this post by saying I love my little psycho so much but I’m so frustrated.
Our cat has always been difficult. We got him as an adult from a shelter and he’s always had anxiety to an extent which presented itself in occasional inappropriate spraying inside and outside and some aggressive behaviour towards our other cats. it was manageable.
We have movies from the country to the city and there are a lot of neighbour cats. His outside time has been reduced and we are at work a little more (because of commute times etc).
In the last few weeks he has:
* Peed on me and my partners legs and bodies while we are asleep about 3 times.
* spray peed in my face while I was lying on the bed writing in a notepad
* spray pees all through our house and obsessively when we are outside.
* attacked the neighbours cats multiple times resulting in severe injury to one of the cats who is elderly and frail ( this led to even more reduced outside time which has made him even more crazy);
* he wanders the house meowing at nothing.
He is still ok with our other cat but I’ve noticed our other cat has become very wary - sleeping under the bed in fear- so who knows what happens while I’m at work.
We have a Feliway diffuser. We have catnip and a relaxation station toy. We play with him and give him lots of attention. We take him outside on supervised walks to ensure he doesn’t kill other cats.
He has recently started clomicalm which makes him fat and lethargic but we are hoping may help a little. Vet hasn’t identified a medical problem but he is so crazy he broke the needle 3 x getting the blood test and they gave up (*weeps*).
Has anyone ever heard of this!? I don’t like being peed on while I sleep. Tell me others have had success stories with a cat calming down!!

My thoughts are also wondering about a UTI. Particularly since his behaviour has recently escalated. It's possible the move,plus the cats in the new neighbourhood is stressing him out. And stress can cause UTIs.
