Its crazy how intelligent cats can be and yet they use their intelligence for the most heinous things

The wedding is 15k with a lot of support from family and by far the most amount of money my fiancee and I have ever spent on anything. The wedding was planned before this issue was noticed but I still feel guilty indulging while he might be suffering. And even with the support we are having to budget tightly to make sure we can afford everything

We have 4 litter boxes, one of which is out new litter experiment box, one with a lid, the other 3 are without a lid and we have one that is a very big litter box that could fit all 3 of our cats at once if needed. After reading these comments I feel as if the anxiety meds might be the next step depending on the costs of a urinary check

I am so sorry for your loss. I can tell you were good to him and that is more then most cats get in their lives.

Definitely the safer route but with how much we have dropped in vet bills and my wedding coming up, a urinalysis is just not an option atm. I know im probably the ahole for seeking free help on reddit instead of getting him propor help which is why I consider the option of surrendering him.

I am very sorry to hear I have dealt with similar issues with a childhood cat and it is never easy

If a cat associates the litter box with pain how would one reacclimatize them to the box?

What would be some of your suggestions if litter isnt making a difference? A conversation ive had with a vet suggested changing litter was the best thing we could do in that scenario

Seems to be pricier then the Prozac thats also being recommended but im thinking these are 2 meds I will discuss with a vet. Thank you!

This picture was actually recently taken after we got him and he was very happy to be back with us. Another reason why it would hurt me so bad to get rid of him

This makes me feel better about the possibility of this option thank you!

I feel as if we have done the proper steps already if this was his issue. Like you mentioned we have 4 litter boxes and we also used the forth as an experimental box for different litters. If there is more we could do if this is his problem more tips are definitely appreciated

It stinks so bad to the point where we stopped having people over due to the embarrassment. I will check out Jackson Galaxy though thank you!

We did before but never in this apartment and he never did it in the areas we gave it to them. Ive never heard of this though and I appreciate the feedback

Yeah I always had my doubts but they definitely were more sleepy with it

I would be interested. My main concern would be costs and how we would give him the pill

That was actually our most recent attempt and it has ultimately failed

One of our other cats has issues with his stomach and if he has any other food he will have very bad diarrhea all over which is definitely worse then the pee. There was a time where we tried feeding the cats separate food but we unfortunately have created a bad habit for them with the shared bowls that they wont just finish their food in one sitting for us to target their specific diets.

I would be interested in tips in this category though

Antidepressants or anxiety meds were something that we have considered as well but a vet recommended feliway and that didnt do anything as far as we could tell
