Today I went grocery shopping - ick - and while checking out the clerk
and the bagger are talking about her cat. She took it to the vet and
spent $100 to find out it is crazy....
Ok I am nosy so I asked what do you mean crazy? It's peeing everywhere
she replied - so I asked is the cat declawed - Yes how did you know?
The cat was a gift that she got and it was declawed before she got it.
It was peeing other than the litter box when it fist arrive at the
clerks home and then she moved to boot. Poor thing must be stressed
out of its mind - new owner declaws & spays then give it to someone
else and then that person moves to a new home... I suggested feliway
and trying several litters for the cat to choose...she said that is
what the vet said and she thought he was crazy...she said she would
give it a try after all...

Uh.. I'm not for declaw, but the numbers of cats peeing outside of the box when
going to a new home or some other stressful (non-declaw situation are also
high.

Yes, but the feliway should help the poor thing with the stress - and
maybe it doesn't like the litter she chose - so that is why I
suggested several litter brands in different trays...

At least she took it to a vet to rule out health problems.

I bought the feliway spray and the plug in (with money I didn't have) when
Nellie came back in October '03. What a waste for me. For 5-6 months she did
NOT pee in the box..she peed and sh*t on my bed and in the tub. I posted here
countless times pleading for suggestions...Many of them contradicted other
suggestions coming in. I tried almost all of them. I isolated her in various
places, separate litter boxes etc. I was about to lose my mind. Eventually,
someone suggested Feline Pine litter. She finally used the box and has been
since then. So..newspaper for one cat and Feline Pine for the other. Whatever
works..if you stick with it! :-)
