Back in jail

[Lacey]

Actually, I think there was a thread a while back about someone using the litterbox in just such a manner... Either that or my brain is playing tricks on me.

has he been nuetered yet? and you don't have to get a sample of urine necessarily- they can extract right from the bladder with a special needle that allegedly doesn't hurt (just your pocket!) and can do a urinalysis. Boys get utis and, at least with mine that have had them, don't show pain. Just go often in small amounts or none- I'll bet it's different symptoms with different cats and I'll bet there are all kinds of bladder and kidney ailments out there too!

are all the boxes covered? my scamp decided a year ago he no longer likes the cover and if I continued to use it, he'd use the floor just outside the box. It took me a while to figure this out.. duh. But no more covers... bossy boy!

[Lacey]

Yep, he's neutered. Nope, no covers on the boxes. And, judging from the incident on the bed, he's not going in small amounts either. I'm pretty sure it's not a UTI, but if changing out the litters doesn't work, I'll get him to the vet and get it checked out.

Try sleeping with litter box on bed. If that doesn't work try 2 litter boxes, if that doesn't work, sleep on floor, put all 3 litter boxes on bed. Cat wins.
(hee, hee!) Best i can think of! Are they the boss or what?! Gotta love em! (I used to have a few bed peers but it was about too many cats- back when I had up to 30 fosters at a time! I remember changing the entire bed linens, then turning around to find so and so peeing right in front of me- i think his name was patrick- anyway- it is very aggravating but impossible to mad at them!)

I think we need to start a picket line outside the prison! LoL

Poor Mowgli and Mum.... I wish I had some profound advice for you. But usually when my cats start doing stuff like that they're mad at me for something...

Good luck! I hope Mowgli gets sprung soon!

I know how frustrating this can be .Ebony was our peeing queen (no pun intended) but she was doing it to lets us know she was mad at us. If we didn't get her door open fast enough in the morning you could count on a wet bed.
I think the dirt idea sounds like a plan ,it makes the most sense .
