Long story short, we found a pregnant momma cat and posted on the local base Facebook page to see if anyone was missing a cat and got no response. So we kept her until she birthed her kittens. After the birth, we posted the kittens and the momma cat up on a Facebook page for our base to see if anyone had been missing a cat (again) and we found the original owner. This was a span of about 2 months that we had this cat so we went ahead and decided to keep the only male of the litter.

We have 2 male dogs (1 fixed, 1 not), and another male cat (fixed). The cat we kept is about 8 months old now and he is fixed as well. Over the past 2 months he started urinating outside of the litter box. So we bought a 2nd litter box, and it didn't alleviate the issue. Twice he had blood in his urine so we took him in to the vet and got him cleared of a UTI. Fast forward, and he is still urinating all over the house.

What can we do outside of re-homing him? The litter boxes stay clean, he has a clean bill of health, and he gets along with all the other animals just fine.

Work on your definition of long story short.

Secondly. Put that fricker in a pillow case and drop him in the bayou.

Have you moved the boxes? Some cats don't like boxes tucked away in the bedroom/bathroom

Try to use a very large litter box that doesn't have a top. Also use food for cats that get uti's. Our male cat did the same thing until we did those two things. Hasn't happened in about a year.

1. Let him do what he wants.

2. Let him control your life.

3. Let him have a go with the Mrs.

4. You move out.

5. Don't buy/find/take in another cat ever again.

Never ask a group of (mostly) guys what you should do about your cat. If you take the advice the cat will be dead by dawn.

"My cat licks itself a lot. What should I do?"
"Kill it."

"My cat scratches at the bedroom door..."
"Kill it."

"The cat is coughing up fur balls on the..."
"Kill it!!!!"

I'm sorry your attention span is so shitty and you probably can only read in twitter text or SMS text. Perhaps a higher education outside of high school is in order?

How many?
The general rule of thumb is one box for each cat plus one more. Then none of them will ever be prevented from eliminating in the litter box because it's already occupied.

However, it's best not to place all the boxes in one location because your cats will think of them as one big box and ambushing another cat will still be possible.

I have a dome litter box and we have a decently sized open air litter box available for him to use.
