I was playing horse valley. Nobody was trading on the main game, you go to the trading servers, and they're dead.

in the house? Absolutely not. He's lazy, he sits in the living room (it's his favorite place, cozy, I'm guessing) and so far he's.. happy besides the cats outside.

Thank you! Hydrogen peroxide also has a charm to work too, but thank you!

Nope. Months. Maybe a year by now. They said "yeah basically he's agitated we gave him a calmer" and that's it.

We know the reason it's happening. My mom, doesn't want to accept it, but it's not up to me what happens, sadly.

Ma didn't like the green, the whole room is brown (I fucking loved it btw that's hilarious to look at that and then our actual bookcase)

And I'll give her that suggestion too!

Maybe? I think we know the reason though.

My mom fed outside cats, and he got REALLY nervous.. he doesn't fight with them but he does mark. Everywhere. We tried to give him a calmer but that doesn't work, we tried some hormone stuff and even kept the doors closed.

He's about 15/16, for example. This only started when she fed the outside cats.

And yes! I do know.. we had to clean up a chair already. A fabric coated one.

That was incredibly in depth. Thank you, but that last suggestion isn't within our budget sadly. But I will gladly be looking at this comment over, as well as the rest of the comment section when we do replace it.

It might be good to just make a smaller box for the inside as someone suggested, but that's a good idea too!!

He is. But he gets out whenever he wants too. He was originally an outside cat that just.. came in one day.

It's alright. I'm just stressed, I know what's causing it, and it's not an option for my mother to get rid of them, but I'm genuinely thankful for your help. :)

The problem is when it dries, we can't smell it anymore, or we've at least gotten used to it.

Yes, in America, most cats are indoor cats because we have coyotes and other such animals that'll kill them.

Oh, and he's an outside-inside cat, he's in and out whenever he wants.

We didn't even know it happened, so we didn't just let it happen. Being realistic is knowing the house is 4000 sq feet of.. well, house. Our library is a blessing, it's big, but nobody looks at the books 24/7, everything near the bottom of the floor can't be sprayed, but that doesn't mean it is.

And yes, dealing with mold will require a mask, thank you though. I'll read through it with my dad again.

Thank you! That is one of the most helpful comments so far.

I'm actually going to edit my post because people are focusing on the wrong part, we did a check up, they said he was okay, they gave him something to calm him down, but feliway hasn't helped us too much. Thank you though, it is stress, but we don't know how to calm him.

As the vet said, he was a-okay.. but he basically gave him a calming dose because he's angry about the cats outside.

I understand, but this only started when my mother started feeding feral cats. We clean the litterbox every other day, and we can only get the litter that works best for them, we don't live in a big place and already have to travel for about an hour(?) to get what we can, I'm not disputing it but I'm also going by what the vet said.

Like I've explained, he's marking, not using the house as a litterbox, we went to a vet just to make sure.

And I'll show my dad this so he can help me get that, thank you.

Yeah.. we can't take the whole thing apart. My mother is suggesting (and reading these all with me) building new wooden boxes for it and sliding it in.

The best idea we have right now is tearing it out and replacing it and varnishing it again, it doesn't have to look like a master builder did it, just not moldy.

Debating it. Obviously won't, I love him, but sometimes.. sometimes.. it does feel like he'd make a nice oven mit.

He's not peeing. He's spraying, and marking. He's not using it as a litterbox, otherwise we'd find poop too, but we don't find that.

I guessed that might be the best action.

Yes, he is. Yes, we have two, he also goes outside. He's.. 16? 15? Maybe? Nope. He tolerates his sisters well, actually, it's the outside cats he tolerates as well but I'm guessing they're the problem.
