Hello everyone, I am new here and I come to you as I have no idea what to do anymore.
I have a 16 year old cat whom I have had since he was born.... In the past 6-7 months he has really gone down hill, he has lost all of his teeth, become skinny and atopped grooming himself, sits on a cat liter tub in the kitchen all day and night. Thats about all he does, well that and poos and pees in my hallway and bathroom despite my every attempt to get him to use the liter box.
I have other cats but he is used to them. I have 3 very large loter boxes which I scoop 2 times a day, tried multiple diffrent liters, set a box right by him to make it easier, I have a very very large dog crate I even set him up in for a while to try and contain his mess and he used the liter box then but would fling the liter around and then pee on it outside of the liter box. I mean I have tried EVERYTHING websites and the vet has suggested over the last months and he STILL chooses to pee and poop other places. Literally walk out of his way to do so.
I am 6 months pregnant with out 3rd little boy, my husband is out of town all of the time for work and I am at my wits end with cleaning up poop and pee ALL day every day.
I am starting to wonder if I should have him put down, not just for all the mess but for him deteriorating as fast as he has seemingly out of no where.
I love him dearly and it is very hard for me to think about this, thats why I come to yall for some advice.
