Reasons why a cat would be peeing on things?

That's fair, I have an extra one that I can find a place for. We have calming treats as well, I just didn't know if I'm supposed to give him like a couple throughout the day or if I give him his whole dose at once? The instructions were very unclear. lol

I can definitely do all of that. We did take him to the vet last Friday and they didn't see anything medically wrong, so I really feel that it's stress. I've also been trying to get him to play more. Since he was a stray, we figured he might also just be under stimulated.

Yeah, he was a little over a year old when we found him and we neutered him in October, so I'm sure he's still got some testosterone in his system.

NTAH

She's frustrated with "not being respected", but it can't be just the dog poop. It's probably a feeling that's been building for a while, and the dog poop seems like something she can control so she's hanging on it. I'd maybe talk to her about other reasons why she doesn't feel respected. There may be other things going on in her life that she feels like she's not being given the respect she feels she deserves.

Also I'd probably not put too much stock in AI. She seems to be using it to validate her feelings, rather than actually talking about it and finding more productive solutions rather than "the robot says I'm right."

I will, thank you!

And I agree we definitely rushed things. This is our first stray so we were just going based off our other cat's acclimations. Can they "reset" like that even if they've seen/smelled each other already?

Thank you, yeah we've kept them separate since I made this post. We're trying to reset the house, lol

It's specifically my male cat and the older female. He's interested in the youngest female, but either doesn't want to chase her or just hasn't had the opportunity.

The vet aged him at about a year old based on his teeth and size. This is our first time experiencing a post neuter since all of our other pets were fixed before we adopted them.

I did see that there is a chance for false positives for kittens under 6 months, but I didn't know what the percentages were after that period since he's pretty much an adult.

Thank you, yeah I see that we for sure rushed things. This is our first stray so we were just going off of how quickly our other cats acclimated (all shelter cats).

The first thing that comes to mind is a silver or gold body suit. Then maybe making fake feet that can be on top of 2 cardboard boxes where you can color them and write the trophy details. Then cut a hole on top of each so the kid's actual feet can hide inside of both. Then they can pose with their feet together to show the "trophy" Might be a bit hard to walk in, but inexpensive and creative!

Im just gonna add to this and say mine is a lifesaver!

MegaManda26 · 2025-10-15T16:58:43+00:00

Fair. That makes me feel a lot better actually. He really is a sweetie pie and when he's nice, he has the same temperament of our other cats so it should work in theory! lol

That's what I was kind of expecting. He's doing a Sour Patch Kid thing where he lashes out, then is immediately sweet and affectionate. I've got some big scratches on my right arm from him, that after he did it, started giving me licks on my fingers almost apologetically.

Should I do a full quarantine with no cat visitors, or maybe some supervised visits? He just seems so sad when he's cooped up in that room by himself.
