HELP!
I have 3 cats rani a spayed female, buddy a castrated male and bill a castrated male. All 3 are about 17 months old, I have had them since they where 9 weeks old, got all 3 together, and all 3 where real close, in till the males hit puberty and then started to fight each other.
I was told that castrating the males would settle them down and they would become friends again, however this has not worked and they are just as bad now as they where when they where entire.
Bill used to spray a bit when he was castrated but he no longer does this since being castrated, he also used to wander and was hardly ever home. Leaving just buddy and rani at home most of the time. All was fine, however as the weather has been real rotten bill has stopped going wandering and has been home if anything more than buddy.
He has really calmed down. However since he is now home all the time, buddy has started to wee in the house!
Last night I caught him , he casually walked up to me, squatted down right by my feet and had a long wee, then scraped at the carpet and ran off. This was also right in front of rani and bill.
I shouted at him while he was mid wee but it made no difference.
I was really shocked because none of the cats have ever toileted in the house. They donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t even use litter trays any more (not since they where around 6 months old) they use the garden.
Why do you think he has started to wee in the house!
I know he knows it is wrong, because the way he does it, he rushes it then runs off.
He has been checked over and it is not a urine infection and it is too much wee to be marking, also he is squatting to go to toilet. He only wees in the home, not done a poo. Could it be a territorial thing?
He and bill hate each other just as much as they did before they where castrated and are always fighting with each other, they donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t fight in front of me, always come in cut to shreds with each others fur under each others claws. Buddy is always chasing bill, and always starting the fights.
Funnily enough both boys will eat together and will even share a feed bowl and both will sit next to each other when on my lap. There behaviour is worse round rani.
