Re litter box issues:
Make sure you are using unscented litter without the blue pellets. My cats,
Dixie and those who have left, will not tolerate the perfumed kind. This is
logical if you are a very few inches from the litter, kicking it etc. The blue
things contain germicides that, as one company says, causes no trouble most of
the time............I don't deal with most of the time.
Try using Rubbermaid or knock offs boxes without lids. They give more room
(important for ferals particularly--they are vulnerable when and don't like to
feel closed in/trapped) and have high enough backs that a cat who has trouble
(for any reason including "I just don't want to") can urinate without getting
it all over the place (I learned this when Ebony was getting older and had a
physical problem that made getting down difficult).
Yes, the Feliway may help. It was designed for "pee-problems."
If you have men who will
exclude any of God's creatures
from the shelter of compassion
and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with their
fellow man.

Hmmmm, then I shall try it.
Maybe my little "bedwetter", Pugsley, will stop peeing on the cat beds........
Also all of the cats from this particuliar seizure have litterbox issues.
Not Lola or Ursula, but Serenity did and a litter of kittens that tested
felv+.
They have already crossed over........ :(

It's helped with Shakiti (aka 'magic marker')...he was very, very feral but
loves his mama :0) I can hold him like a little baby and he will just drool on
my shoulder but it took months to be able to even pet him. With this being a
multi-cat household (7) we have some sibling rivalry issues. The Feliway helps
keep everyone calm and happy. It's helped with some skiddishness too -- I have
4 who ever quite feral at one time. I've had better luck with the spray than
with the diffusers.
(by the way -- there are wonderful piles of clothes to roll in here too :0)
