I can't figure this one out. We have 3 cats and 1 dog. Our 2 newest cats (little over a year -1 male, 1 female) pee everywhere. We bought a new home, new furniture, new etc...and they've pretty much ruined them. The litter box stays cleaned. They will pull things off shelves just to pee on them. They pee on sofas, blankets, pull down clothes just to pee on them, etc... My wife and I are [--] this close to giving up on them, as my house is not a really expensive litter box. Is there any suggestions out there? The Humane Society doesn't guarantee any kind of "we won't put them down", so we aren't going to do that. Please help.

Hello everyone. It has been a long time since I have been on here. I think the last time was back in January when we adopted our dog from the local shelter. Anyway he rounds out the family of a female cat 2 yrs old, male cat 1 yr old and the dog 5 yrs old. The dog always wants to play with the cats but they don't want to be bothered so he is smart enough to let them alone. Between my wife, daughter and myself we play with each of them and give each one individual attention for at least an hour every day. The problem is and it started about 6 months ago; Sergio, the male cat uses the bath tub for #2 only. He knows where the box is and uses it the rest of the time. We have closed off the bathroom and when this is done he uses the box for all purposes. He never has accidents. Over the past 6 months we have occasionaly opened the bathroom door. Within an hour or so, Sergio returns to the tub and deposits #2. How can we break him of this habbit? He is a skittish cat, a loaner and when he wants to play will cry for your attention. We need to resolve this unsanitary issue as quickly as possible and also need to start leaving the bathroom door open in the winter so the room can air after warm showers so mold and mildew does not start to develop. Any and all advise is welcome. Lastly this bath is to small to put a litterbox in and again when it is closed off, Sergio has no problem going in the box, so it is not an issue of not knowing where it is. Thanks everyone, Doug
