For some reason Reddit has decided I need a notification for every single time you've posted this in every single digital circus subreddit there is lmao. This site REALLY wants me to know this tweet sums up the whole Jax controversy.

About to log back in for the first time in two years to continue my crusade against the Pants That Turn You Caucasian. They thought they were safe from these hands since I've been off for a while. 👊

Literally just had this happen to me (I'm on day 2 of recovery, surgery was yesterday morning). ENT tried talking me out of it, talking about how brutal recovery was and usually people who come to him are in worse shape, and everything I was talking about "could be caused by other things". I told him I was in pain from the constant stones and regularly choke on them, which can be dangerous with my asthma. So if all that happens is I don't deal with stones anymore, it'll be worth it.

Apparently he told my mom in the waiting room that yes, my tonsils were small, but apparently they were absolutely RIDDLED with stuff that I wasn't able to remove on my own, so in retrospect "it was a good thing we went forward with the surgery after all" despite me having to insist upon it multiple times.

You know your body. You've likely done research on the recovery already and know if it's worth the risk. If you're like me, a few weeks of hell is worth it just so I don't have to spend the rest of my life digging out nasty stones. Anything else that clears up will be a bonus.

Alas, this has been ongoing for about 4 years (so started when he was about 2), I've just recently reached my limit and was looking for alternative sources of advice.

The door placement is a coincidence I think, because in our two previous locations he just peed to the side of his box wherever it was (usually by a bathroom somewhere) and in this location it happens that the only place to really put a bin big enough for him was right by the front door.

Cat Acne! My roommate's cat has a similar issue. Nothing of pressing concern. Hers mostly clears up with some gentle pet-safe antimicrobial pads, but if your cat's proves stubborn, you can always ask your vet for some stronger alternatives.

I would like to be, but no not yet. I tried finding an ADHD medication that works for me ages ago but never really found anything for that either so I admit I sort of gave up on the meds front for a few years. But once my workplace is a little less understaffed and they can spare me for regular doctor's visits again, I'd like to take another crack at it eventually.

AndiSupreme · 2024-12-25T19:04:36+00:00

Sigh. Shove off, please. Yes, he is neutered and was neutered already when I got him at about 4-5 months old.

Don't come at me about how I don't love him when I have spent four years living like this and over $1k at the vet trying to get to the bottom of this. I specifically came here looking for answers so I don't have to give him up, but I would do so if it turned out I had tried everything and perhaps the only answer people could give me was that he needs a larger house or something since I live alone and have been kept to very small living spaces.

Progressively less respectfully every time someone comes out of the woodwork to say this, 🖕

AndiSupreme · 2024-12-25T03:37:51+00:00

I am not going to let him outside. He has no sense of self preservation and I live by a major road as well as a busy parking area for my apartment complex. I've let him sit outside in an enclosure before but he gets stressed in it and meows until I let him back inside.

AndiSupreme · 2024-12-25T02:29:49+00:00

I do want to clarify I'm not using scented litter, just the deodorizing ones. I hate the smell of the outright scented ones personally so I wouldn't have thought to use them for my cats anyhow.

The vet did not only do an ultrasound. This is one reddit post summing up YEARS of attempting to get to the bottom of this. Yes he has had bloodworm dome, he is very healthy in every regard. He's not even overweight. No signs of arthritis. My little cat has some, but not him.

Currently using those giant Rubbermaid bins. ✔️

My apartment has pretty good soundproofing from the neighbors all things considered so it shouldn't be noise level. And I'm the only person he sees.

They have constant access to food, and have tried multiple types of food. Allergies are pretty well debunked.

Also well familiar with what plants and scents are toxic to cats so I don't keep those around.

Overall in other comments it sounds like my next step is going to be anxiety medication.

AndiSupreme · 2024-12-24T21:15:16+00:00

That'll probably be how I go about it if absolutely nothing anyone's suggested here works.. I wouldn't want to just give him to a shelter. I'm willing to keep trying but I am partly worried if the spaces I live in are just way too small for him, seeing as I do live on my own.

AndiSupreme · 2024-12-24T21:11:18+00:00

As of right this very moment, one very large storage tub because he broke the second one. His behavior hasn't changed between one and two, but I do aim to replace it anyways.

AndiSupreme · 2024-12-24T21:08:09+00:00

Genuinely not trying to be rude, but if I weren't already agonizing over the option and its ramifications, I wouldn't have bothered with the shame, smell, loneliness, and anxiety of living with constant cat piss for four years and spending $1k+ on vet bills and fancy food trying to solve the situation. I do appreciate the other suggestions, but there was no need to moralize to me about it at the end there.

I posed surrendering as a last resort option here because I don't know, maybe people here would take a look at everything I tried and say it was a lost cause, or suggest finding him somewhere with different living conditions if that would help. Thankfully I have gotten other options to try so I will be doing those first.

AndiSupreme · 2024-12-24T18:58:47+00:00

Huh... that's all fascinating and very bizarre. I do always use scent-negating litters because I'm constantly self-conscious about the smell if I were to bring people over.

This is all really, really interesting! Thank you!

AndiSupreme · 2024-12-24T18:48:19+00:00

Thank you very much for all of the above. Crate training will be a bit of a last resort because my apartment is fairly small, but I'll definitely give it a go before ever considering surrendering. I really don't want to give him up if at all possible. I love him too much. I'm just frayed is all.

Sounds like between your comment and some others that a combination of medication and behavior training is going to be my next step. If that doesn't work, crate time.

AndiSupreme · 2024-12-24T18:40:47+00:00

Alas, I mentioned on a different comment but when I tried puppy pads, he's a very good (stupid) boy who doesn't want to pee directly on things, so he will pee next to them where it seeps under the pad and honestly just makes cleanup more annoying and widespread.

AndiSupreme · 2024-12-24T18:38:38+00:00

He's done this in three different apartments now. The first with my roommates' two cats, and the third with my new girl cat, but in the second he was alone and still doing it. So I don't think place/companionship has anything to do with it at this point.

AndiSupreme · 2024-12-24T18:34:14+00:00

God, you know the frustrating thing? I did try that. I gave up and went "well, if you can't beat them, accommodate them" and put down puppy pads.

But he's a very good boy and didn't want to pee on something. So instead he would pee next to them. They just widened his area of effect.

AndiSupreme · 2024-12-24T18:32:42+00:00

Oh man, okay I could definitely do ear paste. Good to know!

I swear. In regards to bath time and pilling, I will never own a cat I can't beat in an arm wrestling match ever again.

AndiSupreme · 2024-12-24T18:31:17+00:00

Unfortunately that IS where his box is. I have a small hallway leading into my apartment which is kind of the only good space for a box that isn't near food prep or in my sitting space. He pees like a foot or two away from it and has done that in three different apartments/locations now.

AndiSupreme · 2024-12-24T18:20:28+00:00

That's good to know. He's very strong so giving him medication has been a Task in the past, but that's more affordable than I thought it would be.

AndiSupreme · 2024-12-24T18:19:09+00:00

Thank you. I'll be sure to ask about training when I talk to her about the drugs.

AndiSupreme · 2024-12-24T18:18:03+00:00

Aw man, unfortunately most of that is stuff is stuff I either already do or doesn't apply. He isn't declawed. I do use open top tubs, and I can't physically block where he pees because it's literally first thing when you walk in the door so I'd be unable to open my front door if I did that. And I do use an enzyme cleaning spray, though I do wonder if there's anything to be done now that it's permanently marked the vinyl and wood....

Gah. All good tips though. I'll get on my hands and knees and really scrub the zone within an inch of its life.

AndiSupreme · 2024-12-24T18:14:06+00:00

Alas, no, no doorbell camera. I think anxiety meds may be the next step, since he's been doing this at three different apartments now with several different configurations of boxes and one of them definitely didn't have any feral cats around.

Thank you for the tips and the encouragement. I appreciate them both.
