Cat Forum / General Topics / September 2007Silver tabby sh.ts in the bath
I have got me 3rd cat which is a lovely natured silver tabby (Max Baer) but due to his previous owner he sh.ts in the bath. The guy who had him before would not get him any litter. In fact he did not get rid of his fleas nor did he worm him properly. I got it all taken care of and have had him castratrated and he is due for his second vaccinations and microchip. I put a litter tray in the bath and one on the floor which he uses but he still sh.ts in the bath. Is it too late to stop him now ? Maybe he will go outside at a later time, he has never been outdoors before but he sits by the front door. He is the most beutiful cat I have ever seen in my life, the vet said there is a risk that he could be stolen. Are silver tabbies rare ? >I have got me 3rd cat which is a lovely natured silver tabby (Max Baer) but >due to his previous owner he sh.ts in the bath.

Are silver tabbies rare ? 1. Get a litterbox and put it outside the bathroom door. 2. Keep the bathroom door closed. He will get the message......

I don't see why he should though. :-) "Baldoni" <baldoniXXV@gmail.com> wrote in message > Many thanks for the advice I will try this. I will have to have > confidence in him not going on the floor.

This is the important step. If he then uses the litterbox even five inches outside the bathtub, you can start moving it a few feet at a time until it's out of the bathroom and then migrate it to its final resting destination. (Just don't walk blindly in the night into the bathroom and trip over or step in the damned thing) :) > William Graham explained on 20/09/2007 : >>>I have got me 3rd cat which is a lovely natured silver tabby (Max Baer) [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > confidence in him not going on the floor.

I'd be putting the plug in the bath, adding an inch of water, and go with the idea of the little box outside the tub. >I have got me 3rd cat which is a lovely natured silver tabby (Max Baer) but >due to his previous owner he sh.ts in the bath.

Are silver tabbies rare ? You can get clean fill dirt or the natural cat litter to use. They also make a cat litter that is designed to attract the furballs You could also use something like puppy pads to get him used to a certain area than as the OP's stated gradually move him to where you want him to be No not that rare but definitely beautiful cats http://www.silverclub.de/tabby/tabbye.htm http://www.maine-coon-cat-club.com/gallery/silver_tabby_series.htm The pervious owner obvious abused the animal you may want to talk to your vet about a behavioral specialist. Matthew laid this down on his screen : >>I have got me 3rd cat which is a lovely natured silver tabby (Max Baer) but >> due to his previous owner he sh.ts in the bath.

I don't think he tried to abuse him willfully. He is a kind natured guy but is an alcholic and would not buy any litter and only low cost flea and worm treatment. He had the cat left with him by his daughter and I could see the cat would be better off out of there so I suggested I take him and he agreed. It is a lovely cat though and very good natured.
