| Need advice please I have 2 neutered male cats....I've had one for a long time, but adopted Tucker in July. Tucker is a huge, fat, 6 yr old boy who likes to pee in the house...not in his litter box. I have 2 litter boxes, and they are scooped every 2 days or so. For some reason, Tucker would rather pee on the bathroom rugs or in the corner near the door. I'm not quite sure if he's peeing or spraying.... I need advice on how to get him to stop. I wash the rugs very frequently...it sounds terrible, but right now I'm afraid to lock them out of the bathroom...I would rather him pee on the rug that's easy to pick up and wash instead of the carpet in another part of the house. The ONLY thing I can think of why he's doing this is maybe the litter boxes are to small for his large ass. He has no problem pooping in it though... He gets along with the other cat... Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'd really hate to have to kill him.

| Our Moosie pees on what the other cats like. He got most of the rugs and the little pillow that the girl kitty slept on. The one rug we have left is the one HE sleeps on, therefore it's been left unmarked. |

| Lot of things could be causing it. I don't use the conventional litter boxes. I have two LARGE Rubbermaid storage containers. They are the same height as a litter box but are much longer. I scoop them EVERY evening. What type of litter are you using? He may not like the type of litter you are using. Has he always done this? i.e., maybe a UTI?

| It sounds like Tucker is trying to mark everything to show he dominate! When I had my last party.......everone was peeing in the woods, so when I let my dog out to go pee in the moring.......he went crazy....running all over the place trying to pee on everything. It was pretty funny watching him run full speed back and forth. I think they make some kind of spray that will stop them from peeing on the floor. You just have to spray it wherever the cat has peed before. |

| One of my mother's cats will only go in litter boxes that do not have the top on them. Once she took them top off of it, she was fine. Some cats are just weird.  |

| Maybe I'll take the lid off of one litter box and see if that makes a difference. I'm using TidyCats right now....Mabye I'll try switching litter...though I just bought a big tub of it.  I don't think he has a UTI. He's always done this....the first time we saw him pee, it was after giving him a big bunch of fresh catnip. I thought he just went a little  because of it. I have seen him in the litter box with his head sticking out multiple times....that might be an obvious sign I wasn't paying attention to.

I appreciate your thoughtfulness on this matter. However, at this time I would like to decline your offer. I may, however, decide to accept your offer at a later time. This will all depend on the behavior of the cat. I will keep your contact information in case I need it in the future. Thank you for your offer. P.S. You're purty cute....for a malamute/husky/whatever you are!
