If your vet gave him a clean bill of health back two months ago and he is acting up now why not just take him in for a check up. Tell the vet what is going on and see what he says. Many cats can get urinary tract infections due to the type of food someone gives them. He isn't feeling well even if he seems it to you the whole not going where he should be is off and even that simple tiny thing should set the red flag up. Don't try to figure out what is wrong in the house or how to please him just get him to the vet and it might save you $100's of dollars down the road catching something sooner rather than later.ChillyVixen wrote:He's just about a year old.
We did take him to the vet the day after we adopted him (back in January). He had that Upper Resperitory Infection, and we spent quite a bit of time and money taking care of all his problems. Just about 2 months ago our vet gave him a clean bill of health! (YAY!!!!!)
He gets fed MaxCat food. And I think the only thing he could possibly be unhappy about is not being able to go outside. His litter box gets cleaned once (maybe twice) a day. We've tried several different types of litter, all with the same result. His litter box is under a side counter in the kitchen (which we rarely use). We play with him quite a bit, and he has plenty of toys to keep him occupied while we are away.
As for the Indoors Only article, I'm going to have to politely disagree. I've had perfectly happy, healthy, indoor/outdoor cats my entire life. I see no problem in letting him outside for a little romp while we are home and checking in on him every so often.
Thank you for all your advice. I will look into seeing what else we can do around the house to please our little Prince Booger.
I do hope he had all of his kitten shots and boosters and was checked for feline diseases. Your vet will be able to help you and make sure you tell the vet that he is outside and inside because if the kitty isn't up to date with his vaccines he might have gotten something or worms or even bitten by something you don't know about.
Have a great weekend!!
