Gee, Wayne, 3 inches, huh? Is that distance an improvement over the previous targets, or a degradation? You didn't say where the solid matter is going; is that at least in the box? New cat? Maybe it still needs to mark its territory.....

Ed

from the look in the eyes, looks like revenge....should have bought that fancy expensive cat-food

Wayne, you crack me up!

Wayne,
You say you "hate your cat", and it's "just about ready to be given up for adoption".
It's obvious the cat resents you. The peeing is a manifestation of that resentment.
It's a lovely animal. Maybe you should give it to a person who won't "hate" it. Then, you might try a dog.

Shouldn't the patient be on a couch relaxed; not on a chair stressed.

See Doug, amature phsyco-analysis is full of rewards. ;) ROFL

Hello

Now dogs are orientatet to people while cats are orientatet to enoviroment.

If you have moved recently ( you did ) the cat has some problems with the new home. Some cats are more nervious then others.

When also the humans act to do "strange" things they never did before they become even more nervious.

But on the other side cats have a very special way to show who dominates in the house.

If it's a new home and the cat is still scent marking use a strong disinfectant to prevent repetition.

Pussy puddles can also be a symptom of diabetes or a bladder problem. If health checks out ok it could be a sign of boredom or loneliness, is the cat left alone all day? The cat could be trying to tell you something like "I want free access to the garden and a skateboard"

You may want to try rubbing the cat's nose in the puddle, giving a VERY LIGHT clip behind the head and putting cat in the litter box. A light clip with her paw to the head is how a mother cat corrects her kitten's behaviour

Many experts will tell you not to rub the cat's nose in the puddle, I am not an expert but based on my own experience I disagree.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploads/m13_WEB.jpg The miscreant pictured did much worse than my white carpets - he settled on my 911's leather sports seats!

As an aside, have you considered offering these useful cat carriers for sale?http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...agatto_WEB.jpg

Wayne, the solution is right under your nose. Bursch makes it, and you sell it...that's right, a CAT BYPASS!

ack ack ack ack ack ack ack ack (Popeye laugh)

I will tell you what I did with my peeing cat after it gave me "CAT SCRATCH FEVER" I bought a agitated dog and then it had reason to pee !!!!

Wayne,

Feed the cat next to the litter bin. That's the way to train kittens. As they master the act of using the bin, start moving the food bowl further away. I know he's fully grown now, but it wouldn't hurt to remind him how it goes...

As mentioned, it could indicate a bladder infection.

Wayne,
I didn't mean my answer to be "harsh", it's just that I love animals (especially cats) so much, that I hate to see them in conflict with their owners. I hope you have patience to work things out. That's a beautiful animal. Mrs. Z has offered to adopt it, but I reminded her we have 4 kittys already!

(And Milu....that's not funny, just sick.)

milu, that WAS funny. lighten up adam.

Wayne, I know a cat psycologist who would be happy to work with your cat.

He will break him of floor peeing in just one visit. :eek:

LOL! good looking dog. he looks like a cross between a cocker spaniel and a chocolate lab.

I vote for encon,s method.its a sure fix:D

Is he neutered?

Male cats are naturally very territorial and the testosterone is a large contributor to this.

This may solve your problem, if you are still considering keeping the cat.

From what you described it sounds like the cat is bored and really after attention. I make mine play by letting him chase a red dot from a laser pointer while I'm watching tv. Better entertainment than tv when he slips on a polished floor and doesn't make a sharp turn.

Wayne

For an off the wall sugestion, do you just have the one cat? He might want another cat to play with. Or he might be wanting to go outside if you don't let him out

Nope, he is a purebred Deutsch Kurzhaar (German Shorthaired Pointer). German engineering applied to dogs. In the 1800's, hunters typicly had different dogs for different types of hunting, Pointers for upland birds (pheasant, quail, etc) and retrievers for waterfowl. Shorthairs were bred to do both. They were also bred for "sharpness", which simply means that they not only hunt birds, but hunt everything else that hunts birds. He has an innate hatred for anything small and fuzzy. His single minded determination when cats are around is a little disconcerting. We can't even give him fluffy toys, because they lasts about 30 seconds. He holds them on the ground with his front feet and rips them apart. If you are curious, there is some history here.

He is also a rescue dog.

Tom
