I'm apprehensive about putting him on a schedule (of feeding) because it is sooo hard to get him to eat in the first place! I think if I didn't leave it out 24/7 he would never eat. (I've tried every food under the sun and the only think he'll touch is Royal Canin Yorkshire.)

Today we tried a diaper (while in the house) and he went #1 twice outside (yay!) but only a little... like marking but not emptying his bladder. The diaper went back on once inside and about 10 minutes later I picked him up... only to have the liquid contents of that diaper to spill all over me.

I don't understand why he barely goes outside (as if to say "there mom, I did it, now give me a treat!") but as soon as he's back in the house he thinks it's potty time. Crating him would break my heart... is there any other way? Or do I need to discipline myself and just lock him up?
I read that Royal Canin cat food was tainted with the poison too. I'm not sure if the dog food was affected.
