I'm ready to lose it!

[Medusa]

I've had trouble w/one of my male cats, Specs, for quite some time now. He's pees. Everywhere. Whenever. But he peed on my new dining room furniture. On the wood. I was so enraged that all I could do was give him an amitryptilene and banish him to the basement. My vets have tried everything, every kind of medication, punishment, diet, tests, etc. This cat just has to pee. Spray, not squat. I've worked so hard to finally be able to afford new furniture and he's going to destroy it all. He warped the wood on my last dining room suite, so that it actually fell apart. I don't know what to do. I'm so angry I can hardly type this. He doesn't get along w/my oldest male, Boo. But Boo is here to stay. I'm shaking, I'm so upset!

Furious,
Mary

Can you confine him to one room, like the kitchen, where it wouldn't cause as much damage? Is he neutered? Is he indoor-only? How old is he, and how long have you had him?

Is he neutered?

[Medusa]

Yes, he's neutered. I've had him a couple of years now,so it isn't like he has to get used to everyone. When I got home from work just now, I could smell pee the second I walked in the house. He sprayed on my new entertainment center. The only place I could confine him would be the basement but I need to make sure that the other cats have access because that's where their food, water, beds, etc. are. I called the vet tech who took two of the feral cats that I had to place before I moved house but she has one w/leukemia, so she can't take him. He's so adorable that it's frustrating but I've really had it w/him. He looks just like the cat in Shrek 2, w/those sad eyes. I don't want to place him but I'm probably going to have to. I CANNOT have him ruin my furniture. I can't believe that I'm still angry after all day has gone by!

Blessings,

I bought a baby gate, thinking that would help. Not. He can jump right over it. Doesn't matter anyhow. I can't have baby gates all over the house! My kitchen doesn't have a door on it and, knowing him, he'd probably pee on the countertops or the wooden chairs. I'm so exhausted from working two jobs and trying to get this new business up and running. So I don't want my things ruined when I worked so hard to obtain them. Then I come home to this. God, I'm angry!

I wish I had some advice, but all I can offer is sympathy! I hope you will find a solution.
