Please consider the harder to home cats in rescue.

Aww, it was probably brought on by the stress of being at the vets for neutering. Hope he is feeling better now.

Yes good idea about getting him checked out and it could be being in a cage is stressing him out when all he wants to do is have a home and a human to cuddle him.............maybe  :hug: :hug:

I can't fit two trays in his pen with out tripping over them. I am wondering about stress as he does seem unhappy, he has eaten very little today and is even more quiet than normal, I feel he may have some underlying cause and he is also particualry grumpy as well which is not him. Will get him checked out.

I would be tempted to get the vet to check him over, as he was using a tray fine before. Sounds like he is giong to be hard to re-litter train if he likes to sleep in his bed whether he has wee'd or not.

Two litter trays is the normal number recomendeded per cat.

Sounds like he is unhappy and maybe needs checking over by a vet to see if he is OK.

Tray issues post neutering?
« Reply #1 on: June 07, 2010, 20:59:22 PM »
entire male about 5 years old, picked up as a stray, spent first week in pen, no tray problems. Since neutering however he is now refusing to use his tray to wee in. Will poo in in but that is about it. Will pee in his bed and then lie in it, removed bed and now peeing on carpet tiles on floor of run and then lying in it. Moved litter tray further from food, no go. Never encountred this before post neuter, any ideas.

Considered sore from op, so litter tray aversion, but op was last Friday so soreness should have passed by now.

Possibly depressed at being in pen, but dare not bring him in, while h is weeing eveywhere. Considered bringing him in and putting in dog crate so he has a bit more human company. Will look at changing litter, currently on ordinary grey cat litter which he was on before. Even consideing putting carpet in bottom of tray, but never come across a cat who wees and then lies in it, eewww!  :sick:

Suggestions please.
