Wow...with all due respect I feel pretty put off and attacked by that last post. I came here for HELP, not a personal attack. Actually, we have both bent over backwards to help this cat. He has very protected time away from both dogs and the lab is ALWAYS supervised when even remotely around the cat...

Is there a way you can cut out that section of the padding behind the bar and just replace the pad in that small section and then tack the carpet back down? Is that a do it yourself type job? i know little about carpet. It's a small area- about 3 ft wide by about 5-6 feet long. the bar is brick at t...

Thanks I'll try that... I did get a blacklight, and yeah it is gross. Especially since vomit and everything lights up. Yuk. Maybe I'll do that behind the bar and replace the laundry room altogether with a non-carpeted floor. That might be a good compromise.... Thanks for the tip. i think those might...

What do you think about the carpet? Should I replace it now and see if that helps? I hate to go to that expense if he's just going to pee again, as my entire basment will need to be redone because that's where the bar is, and the laundry I'm thinking of replacing the carpet with tile. But should I d...

I agree, it's worth looking into for the urinalysis, etc. I even told the last vet how serious it was and that he was faced with possibly losing his home, but I th...

P.S. Forgot to add, both vets also refused to do a urinalysis or blood work saying it was behavioral and there's nothing they could do. I said I didn't care about the money, I just wanted to make sure it was a health issue, but they said it wasn't necessary and was a waste.

Thanks for replying so quickly. 1. He is neutered. This was done at 7 months at recommendation of vet. I wanted it done earlier due to the escalating aggression, but he insisted 7 months. 2. I misspoke before about the declawing, that was actually another cat i had that was already declawed. This ca...

Hi... I'm new and am truly desparate and in need of some impatial advice from strangers. I have an 8 yr old cat I've had since kitty hood. He's recently, in the last year, started peeing everywhere except his litter box. I've tried everything I can think of and he's been to 2 vets. They wouldn't do ...
