| WE may need to get rid of our cat, and I'm heartbroken about it When we first got married my husband wanted a cat, I'm allergic and so we got a dog. But I broke down and got him one for Christmas. We were told it was a girl cat and it had its first shots and everything (we got the papers). So we didn't take it to the vet for 5 months ( i know not the best thing). Then it starting peeing everywhere so we took it to the vet to see if it had a UTI, well turns out its a boy. We had him neutered and the peeing stopped, but now it has started again. We've gotten the carpets cleaned, clean everything with vinager so it can't smell the mark. But it pees all over and I'm so tired of fighting with hubby on this issue. We talked last night and decided it just may be better to find him a new home. But I want to find him a good home...I'm so sad over this. any advice?

| Are you sure is not UTI? Was anything abnormal in the bloodwork? If its not a health issue, he may be peeing out of anxiety. |

| What kind of litter are you using, and are you keeping it super clean. I know if my daughter doesn't keep hers cleaned her cat will go in the house. We use the clumping kind and scoop it out everyday.

| we use all different kinds and yeah the vet told us this too, but he is clearly marking, not peeing. Vet says there is a big difference

| The Feliway works, but its expensive and you need to refill often. Got to be careful though, my SIL cat super inhaled it and was in a VERY relaxed daze. |

| We had a male cat that marked that we had to rehome. I used to have four cats and they were all distructive. I have one that is about 14 yrs old and when she is gone I will never have another cat
