    He has two litter boxes, and he goes outside on a leash because he likes it. I am getting really tired of posting questions on this site and being made out to be someone who doesn't know how to care for their pets. He's not allowed to go outside and roam the neighborhood he is on a leash that lets him lay out in the sun or shade when the weather is nice otherwise he is inside and well cared for.

    Gosh, daisybee, I was kind of surprised to see your response to that post! As a cat owner who has gotten all kinds of help and support from this forum, I can tell you that sometimes people will ask questions that can feel "accusatory", but are usually just a way for people who are total strangers to you and your pets to figure out what kind of a situation you're dealing with so that they can give you a better informed suggestion..

    Some cats "go" outside exclusively, and some cats (sure not mine!) are even toilet trained. Since you hadn't mentioned your litter box situation, it wasn't an "out of line" question IMHO.

    But to the important part -- which is you and Dilbert getting onto the same "pee" wavelength -- I can tell you that when I had a similar situation recently, and after a vet visit ruled out a UTI, I had excellent luck with Nature's Miracle, the Feliway diffuser (though in your case the spray would probably be better), and the Cat Attract litter.

    Best of luck!

    I'm sorry that you took my post the wrong way. I never said that you didn't know how to care for your pets. I just never heard of a cat going outside on a leash to go outside and pee. Once again I'm sorry.
