If no physical problems exist, then it is obviously a behavioral problem. Cats do not develop problems like this without a reason. The cat is trying to let everyone know that it is not a "happy camper". Something is really stressing this animal and the family should examine what changes have occurred in their lives that might cause this stress (more attention, less attention, litter or box that cat does not like, redirected aggression from outdoor influences, dietary changes, other pets...)

Physical always needs to be ruled OUT first! And in a male cat especially, peeing in inappropriate places could be a simple uti but could also be a sign of more serious problems of crystals and potential future blockage so needs to be addressed immediately! If not sooner!! This woman does not sound like the kind of adopter you want. If she isnt willing to be educated by you telling her that she needs to take him back to vet immediately, or isnt willing to do so, then you need to get him and take him in yourself. Something will work out for another home for him.<br />I would also talk to her about what she is feeding him. Cheap dry food causes a LOT of problems in fixed male cats. I always make sure people are willing to feed decent food. It is WELL worth the extra cost for food in terms of saved money in vet bills in the long run!<br />CaroleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7603723189041366390.post-24672542554154587772015-06-22T12:38:36.735-04:002015-06-22T12:38:36.735-04:00Since his last visit to the vet, Teddy may have de...Since his last visit to the vet, Teddy may have developed a urinary infection.
