He is very sweet. But he does indeed have a bit of a 'tude. I gather that his first mom carried him around all the time as a kitten to the point that he has a slightly weak/deformed rear leg from hanging around her shoulders like a mink stole. When she passed, and her family took him in, he was peeing everywhere (including directly *on* them in bed at night). Who knows if this behavior is medical or trauma or from being spoiled or a combo of all. He was also indoor/outdoor at the time, and they told me that he just never cared for litterboxes. Well, he will not be going outside here, so we will need to negotiate. All of my cats use the toilet, so I set up the toilet training frame for him, which he used exactly once (just enough to get my hopes up) before switching to the bathtub. I filled the tub with two inches of water. He switched to the cat bed. I removed the cat bed. He switched to the sink. I filled the sink with two inches of water. He switched to the blanket I left for him to sleep on, and the bathroom rug. Little bleepety-bleep. I removed the litter from the toilet frame, figuring if he likes the sink he might go for that. Nope. I have informed him that I will settle for the tub/sink- if we must- but that he is *not* gonna be wetting my bed. Hopefully I can get his glucose down and that will help with that issue as well, if that is part of why he is doing it. He is also a opera singer, putting on shows at midnight, one, three and 4 am nightly.
