He is neutered... He was neutered before he was adopted so he was just a kitten.... he's now 3 years old - the previous owners said he never howled - and he was kept in their basement... He had no other contact with cats, and was not allowed upstairs. they said they only fed him purina one adult food..... I bought some of that.. he wont touch it - but I bought some fancy feast and he eats that. The howling mostly happens between 2am and 4am........ we even attempted to feed him at that time and he doesnt want it - he wont do it if you're in the room with him.. we've tried bringing him into our bedroom, and petting him and trying to get him into sleep mode - but he wants no part - he runs out and if you try to make him stay he bites. So we just let him go.... My husband has been taking him and putting him into the laundry room when he starts howling, and then nobody can hear him.....and Ellie is continuing to torture him, everytime he goes to eat, she pushes him out of the way, hisses at him.. she's downright mean to him!

They said he didnt have a cat bed, he just slept on a couch they had in their basement.. (it was a finished basement). They said they never really played with him either... perhaps mice were his playthings?? he does play with us though - he loves the feather wand.. but only sometimes... and ellie gets mad at him and pounces on him while he's playing so he runs away
