This would be my sister's cat. He is 15. She has done every sort of testing at the vet to see if he has something wrong. Bloodwork, rads, UA, etc. All come back relatively normal aside from some signs of inflammation in bloodwork. One doctor thinks there may be an unseen cancer or intestinal disease. Another vet doesn't think it is time to euthanize and thinks it is behavior. We have a few cats and maybe 7 cat boxes. He also gets pain meds. He doesn't like the arthritis treats we got at the vet. He is the only one who does this. That's all a very short version of his issues.
The cat sometimes uses the box, sometimes doesn't. Generally, he poops outside the box most of the time but pees in the box. He will pee on things that get left out like clothes or bags. This is a long standing issue that the cat has had for YEARS. This is not a new issue. He has started to crap on the stove and couches. My sister is close to completely freaking out about it as she has anxiety and depression. Since he's old and nothing is working, she wants to pts. We tried to pass it by the regular vet and she refused. So now there's options of at home euth, going to another vet to euth/second opinion.
How wrong could we be? It seems like everything has been done and nothing works. Obviously rehoming at such an age is not happening. We are both okay if he needs to be pts, since he's old.
