I have a beautiful white persian kitten that I love very much.

He has been urinating outside of the litterbox though since I got him
though.

I have tried everything. So far he has cost me over 1,000 in medical
bills and growing. I have done urinalysis, urine culture, xrays, extra
litter boxes, changing litter every 10 days, andibiatics,
antidepressants, etc.

He has destroyed a lot of what I worked for, lether couch, chair,
clothes, etc.

I cannot bear the thought that I might have to give him away but I
cannot keep up with this.

Has anyone else been through this? It has been over an year I tried
and tried and tried because I love him so much but it is draining.

I know you said you tried everything but he my go at it

Have you tried different litter or just plain shredded paper

is the litter box in a quiet spot

Is the cat being stressed some how

is he an outside cat if so try a sand box in the house

have you got rid of the scent where he has gone before

is he doing this in a certain room only

this is not a medical problem but a behavioral problem if the vet visit
proved nothing

if you have spent so much already maybe a pet shrink would be worth it to
save your love I know I would spend the money no matter what

Also can this little kitten climb into the box comfortably? Try a shorter
box, or fashion some kind of a ramp and put the kitten on the ramp to start
him in the right direction.

Have you tryed a new box ?? Not the litter in it but the box. Sometimes if the box is
used it can hold smells also. Does it do it everytime it goes or just sometimes ?? I
have one that get to closed to the edge at times and does her job over the side of the
litter box so I put a carpet sample under the box on the carpet . Have you tryed a cover
box ??

To me it sounds like you may have other problems with the cat and if so it might be netter
for the cat for you to find it a good and loving home. Reason I save that is because of
this paragraph you put in:

>He has destroyed a lot of what I worked for, lether couch, chair,
>clothes, etc.

This sounds like there are other issues then the litter box problem.
