He should see a vet to be evaluated for a urinary tract infection. Did you
"dump" the kittens?? Gail "Nancy" wrote in message om... Subject: New Onset Spraying in 13 yr old neutered Himalayan male For the last 6 months, a female cat and her two kittens have taken over our yard (and we've been feeding them but mostly keeping them out of the house.) Mr. Redford our 13 year old cream point Himalayan and only house cat has been going bonkers over the sight, smell, and sound of these intruders in his yard. He totally destroyed the sofa next to the patio door by peeing in it; however, he left our other sofa in tact. I just had the cushions on both sofas cleaned, and while the cleaner was delivering the cleaned cushions, the monster kittens scooted into the living room for a couple of minutes. Within seconds Mr. Redford had peed into the far corner of the heretofore untouched sofa. I immediately put him outside, foam cleaned the sofa, and dried it with a hair dryer. Then loaded the kittens in a cage into the trunk of my car, and with Redford sitting on the back seat of the car to witness, relocated the kittens 30 miles away. On our return home, I groomed Redford, gave him treats and lots of attention. (I had covered the said sofa with plastic for good keeping.) He slept peacefully on my bed next to me through the night. But apparently while I was out for an hour that evening he had acted out. This morning I found about 1/2 liter of pee on the plastic covering the sofa in the very corner where he had peed the day before. Now for the first time in his 13 year life, I've kept him outside all day, not letting him in the house. I'm devastated and he's mad as hell! I just sprayed the plastic cover on the sofa with a product called "Get Off" and reluctantly let him back into the house for the night. He is full of affection, eating/drinking well, and using his litter box. But I don't trust him. Help me please, What should I do??? There must be some appropriate treatment for this. Should I also get rid of the female who's still hanging around outside begging for food? Redford's female companion of 12 1/2 years died about 7 months ago and he has been in mourning over that til recently. Desperate, Nancy |

Your cat needs to be seen by a vet to rule out a urinary tract infection or other medical problem - now, not later. ________ See my cats: http://community.webshots.com/album/56955940rWhxAe Raw Diet Info: http://www.holisticat.com/drjletter.html http://www.geocities.com/rawfeeders/ForCatsOnly.html Declawing Info: http://www.wholecat.com/articles/claws.htm |

Then loaded the kittens in a cage into the trunk of my car, and with Redford sitting on the back seat of the car to witness, relocated the kittens 30 miles away. How exactly did you "relocate" them? You have me very worried about that choice of words. Unfortunately, you don't seem to know much about feline behaviour. By taking Redford with you "to witness", you merely stressed him more by making him sit close to the smell that is causing him such distress. That smell will also remain in your car. On our return home, I groomed Redford, gave him treats and lots of attention. (I had covered the said sofa with plastic for good keeping.) He slept peacefully on my bed next to me through the night. But apparently while I was out for an hour that evening he had acted out. This morning I found about 1/2 liter of pee on the plastic covering the sofa in the very corner where he had peed the day before. That is a lot of pee for a cat. Have you had Redford to the vet for a check up lately, particularly in view of his age? He might have renal failure, which can cause a cat to urinate more, and which may also lead to inappropriate elimination... Now for the first time in his 13 year life, I've kept him outside all day, not letting him in the house. I'm devastated and he's mad as hell! By doing this, you are simply stressing him further, and therefore predisposing him to further marking of his territory (if that is what it is, rather than medical). I just sprayed the plastic cover on the sofa with a product called "Get Off" and reluctantly let him back into the house for the night. He is full of affection, eating/drinking well, and using his litter box. But I don't trust him. You need a proper enzymatic cleaner to really remove the smell of urine, see link below. Help me please, What should I do??? There must be some appropriate treatment for this. Should I also get rid of the female who's still hanging around outside begging for food? Redford's female companion of 12 1/2 years died about 7 months ago and he has been in mourning over that til recently. You need to get Redford checked by a vet, including bloodwork. You also need to learn how to understand feline behaviour. Read this section and the links carefully: http://www.felinecrf.org/treatments....te_elimination HTH Helen Desperate, Nancy |
