Hey, I agree that there isn't any nastier of an odor than cat urine. I have a cat that poops inappropriately from time to time. She usually elects to go on a hard wood floor rather than a litter box, when she has her accidents. I have spent thousands of dollars trying to correct the problem and it seems that the cat has a few things going wrong, not just one. If I opt for the surgery, there is not a high chance that she will discontinue with the pooping.

I don't have a suggestion beyond containing the cat to try to retrain him to the litter box. That is what I am going to do with my cat Miley. I will keep her in a huge cage while I am at work or not at home. When I am with the cats, she will be able to run around. I am hoping that by being confined most of the time, she will get the message. It is out of control for her/me right now. I cannot tell you what horrible feelings I have at 3AM when the cat is under my bed, pooping liquid. Its disgusting and also hard on the cat.

I have sent for a cage over the internet. The place is in Lancaster Co. PA, called Martin's. They have all kinds of cages.

I never thought for a minute that you didn't love your cat. Just the opposite. I am sorry that someone read you wrong.

I can't imagine having a cat like your's and still being able to keep fairly calm. If I were seeing a guy and he lived in a cat pee house, I would either not go there or make sure the problem got corrected.

Retraining the kitty sounds like a good idea, yes? You might want to consider rehoming him to a farm or country setting, where he can "go" outside.

Keep us posted!
