What a weird coincidence--my problem pooper is named Max, too! You guys are, as my kids would say, da bomb. My misbehaving Max is misbehaving no more. It's been a good six weeks and he's had the run of the house with no more inappropriate pooping. :cheers: I thank you, my children thank you, and if ...

I'm the OP, and I have to say, things have been much better with my boy. We just took up the litter box in the bathroom, and are keeping our fingers crossed that he will continue to use the boxes in the basement on a regular basis. I hope this lasts. At one point I was worried that we might end up r...

Well, he's actually less confined now, since we started with the Feliway. We let him out more. It's his behavior that has changed when he comes up on the sofa with us. He seems more tense than he used to, pre-Feliway, but the environment at that time is the same as it was before. We're all just sitt...

Here's an update on the incredible pooping kitty. :D Things seem to be improving. I was pretty skeptical about the Feliway, but I think it must be magic. We've taken up the extra litter boxes and stuff we'd had blocking access to the floor in the bathroom, and we haven't had any problems at all with...

The female is the one I initially thought was going to need more work. I think she was really overwhelmed at the rescue. She hardly came out from under the bed for the first two months, except to eat and use the litter. A few days after we got her, I thought she'd had a stroke. She would fall over c...

Thank you so much. It's helpful to have somebody to kick this around wth, because I haven't found much useful or relevant online or in books--mostly what I find is about urination, and he's just fine in that department. And I like our vet, but her forte is medicine, not behavior. I will buy the prod...

What is the gender and age of the other cat? The other cat is a female, about 5 years old. She's also declawed and lost an eye before we got her. Do the two cats get along well? Bonded? They largely ignore each other. They don't fight at all, but aren't particularly bonded, either. Were they litter...

We adopted two rescue cats about six months ago. One of the cats is a five year old, neutered, declawed (this was done prior to our getting him, so please no flaming) male.. He will not defecate in a litter box reliably. He does urinate in the litter box every time. I'm wondering if anyone has any s...
