People who had to give up their cat because of litter box issues ?
Hello,
I’ve had this cat in my family since 2019. He’s currently 7 years old, and I’ve had enough.
He has litter box issues, which means he almost never uses his litter box properly.
He pees in big puddles, either in my room, my brother’s room, my parents’ room, or in various spots in the living room. He always peeing on new objects, i can leave a bag on the ground and come back, he would pee on it….
He defecates next to the litter box.
I’ve changed the litter box, its location in the house, the size, and the type of litter. I took him to the vet: no signs of kidney stones. I’ve bought all kinds of anti-stress and anti-anxiety products, but nothing works.
We have another cat, who arrived a little later in the house, and he has never pee or defects outside the litter box, even if we move the litter box, he knows he has to go in the new spot.
For the sake of the older cat, I’m thinking of giving him to a shelter. I’ve never gotten angry with him, but I’m starting to lose patience with his issues, and I’m afraid of stressing him out by yelling. It’s the only solution I can think of… I love him so much, but his issues stress me out.
