I'll write more later - am feeding and cleaning litter boxes right now for cats that are strictly indoor and were either truly feral, reverted abandoned cats at one time. And when I say feral, you couldn't even get near them for a long time until they trusted us. It's easy - you are the one that

I agree. My former ferals usually won't go near the door once they have been inside for awhile. If they do go out they come right back in. I did have one former tame outside cat who took a couple years to get acclimated to being inside, but he was eventually fine. Beth Dont Litter, Fix Your

Peeing on bed can be result of other cats chasing a cat out of the litter box or an aversion to the box or litter. Please read www.catinfo.org re litter box issues if this is not medical. It is a vet site and has GREAT suggestions. I had a bed peer, too. I had to place boxes in several locations

Think like the cat and you will have your answer! -- I like that! This sounds strange, but I'm not sure it's pee because it doesn't stink much. The vet said it could be pee or, get this, it could be drool. Lucky lays on the bed and looks pretty comfortable, and he is a major league drooler!

Bonnie, if it was pee there would be NO mistaking it! Has anyone checked his teeth if he is drooling? That sounds like a lot of drool. And I bet it is drool. The vet (at catinfo.org) hates World's best cat litter, btw. She and I used Dr. Elsey's Ultra Precious cats. L Love animals: God has given
