I've got a 12yr male cat, had him since he was 6 weeks He's shared a house with another cat since he was just a year old. This cat has never gone outside his litter box until about 8 months ago therefore not suspected to be behavioral. He's indoor only on a diet of UTI food, currently prescription UTI food. No major changes at home, no changes in litter, litter boxes cleaned twice daily, pets people or cleaners.
He's been given the following since the start of the year:
I'm at the stage where this cat is going to have to take a long nap as I can't fix him, the doctors don't seem to be able to figure it out and he's in distress a lot now. I've googled, I've asked other cat owners and I've no answers other than to put him to sleep. I'm hoping someone here can help.
- Licks fur off stomach until bald
- Drinks huge amounts of water
- Eats normally
- Can't jump anymore and seemed to wobble at least once then lay down after walking
- Attacks other cat and becomes agitated at times
- Will use litter box.. all three of them then pee on the floor by/on the litter box
- I've used anti enzyme cleaners to thoroughly clean the area (concrete in garage)
- Cleaned with bleach, also cleaned and sprayed citrus cleaners in the area.. still he pisses in the exact same spot every ***ing day.
He's been given the following since the start of the year:
- Multiple steroid shots - stopped the chewing of the fur
- Pain medication
- Antibiotics.. weeks later stronger Antibiotics
- Anti Depressants (one vet thought he was depressed)
- Currently on medication for.. allergies ok that might explain the chewing but the peeing?
- 2x Blood work - came back clean
