Not enough information....
I have a long list of questions that I ask for all cases of IE but see my Litter Box page below for a start.
Thank you for taking a look at my question. Medical problems have been ruled out with the exception of diabetes. My cat is presently on Lantus but not yet regulated, and I have transitioned him to a wet food diet.
1) Are you using an UNscented clumping litter? Yes
2) Is his box kept very clean? Less than 3-4 items at a maximum? Yes, I scoop it out 2x per day, and there are rarely more than 2-3 items at maximum.
3) Is his litter box big enough? I have two large plastic storage containers with square openings cut for the entrance. My cat has very mild cerebellar hypoplasia, so often ends up standing towards the end of urinating. These high walls help prevent spilling out. I have two cats, so I have two very large litter boxes, referred to as the "pee palaces".
4) Is it in a safe location as far as he is concerned? Yes, the boxes are in a closed garage with a cat door from the laundry room into the garage. The only other critters with access to this area are the other cat and the two humans.
5) Are there any feline housemates that may be tormenting him in the litter box - not allowing him to enter or exit?
Not that I am aware of, but he would be more likely to torment the other cat.
6) Are there enough boxes? Some cats like to urinate in one and defecate in another one.
I have two very large litter boxes for two cats.
I will look at all the information that you have linked, thanks again!
and I have had the best luck with move and cover. So if you can move the tree and cover that area of carpet with something that cats do not like to pee on. Linoleum, vinyl .... something smooth.
