Janey,

I have had cats ever since I was a little girl, as well, and now I know why we always had female cats and male dogs! Male cats are a nuisance!

I have done many searches online...and found that changes in the household, too many cats, not enough litter boxes, litter that the cat doesn't like, and other factors can aggravate marking behavior. And I don't think it's the litter box, because he uses it extensively most of the time! And he's an only cat for now.

I will definitely be getting that "Natures miracle odor remover" that you were talking about! I'm off to the pet store right now. Let's hope it gets the odor out. Now I just have to find a way to keep him from going there again.

You know the best fix would be to turn him into an outdoor cat, but unfortunately, I live in an apartment and that's not possible

When I first got him, I used to let him outside all the time, because that was how I found him, and I knew he knew the area well. So if I ever got mad at him, I would just toss him outside. I can't do that here in NC, because there's literally a jungle outside my complex, and I think he'd get eaten, not to mention lost! And there's all sorts of ticks and nasty bugs he can pick up here. I can't wait til I do have a house with a yard...I feel bad as it is, because there's so little room for him to run around and play in.
