We bought two cats from the same cage at the Animal Shelter, they are three years old now. We bought another little kitten last December and it seems that ever since we bought the other little Kitten,one of the bigger cat cats started urinating and pooping on our carpets. I believe the reason for his behavior is because he does not care for the other little in his house.
I am open to any advise that you have to share. We don't know how to get him to go back to his litter box.
Sincerely,
Laura

Thank you by: Paul B
Thank you very much for the reply... I think you may of just opened my eyes!! I think it could be to do with seperation anxiety... As he is often by himself while im at work...
What would you thoughts be about once he is settled that we get another cat to keep him company? This is somthing that we have thought about for a while... As he is a very social cat at the cattery and with my moms cats...
Thank you
Paul

Not all cats are happy to be with other cats and they don't necessarily need another cat as company but if you know your cat and know that he gets on well with other cats then it may a be soluition for him while you are away.
If you do decide to get another cat make sure you introduce them slowly to each other (see my page about introducing cats on my training pages) as it will help to ensure a happy home.
