I am desperate for suggestions. I have a Siamese who has some anxiety issues. I have a multi cat household and he's always been the "underdog wanna-be alpha" cat, when he's really just a big scaredy cat. His name is Loki and he's every bit the trouble maker as his Marvel counterpart. He sprays everywhere and he even does it right in front of me. He also claws the carpet (again, right in front of me), when I have multiple cat trees throughout the house on both levels. I know all these behaviors are his effort to "mark" his territory but I'm at my wit's end in dealing with it. My vet prescribed something to help him chill out. I didn't see much change in his behavior although he seemed doped up part of the time. I've tried collars, sprays, liquid solution in their water bowl ... although I haven't tried the plug ins because they're a major fire hazard. I keep him separated part of the day and when I'm at work, to keep his anxiety levels down. I don't know what else to do. His major spray spots are the main areas where my alpha female usually hangs out. He's constantly getting in spats with the other cats, even the youngest (who HE picks on himself). It seems he can't get along with anyone, except one of my cats, although occasionally, and that's the male cat he grew up with. This behavior has gotten progressively worse. I'm open to any and all suggestions. I know he'd likely be much happier in a single cat household but I'm not prepared to give up on him. And yes, he IS fixed and was neutered as a kitten. He's approximately 3 yrs old now.
