[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 534945, member: 84"] Your coworkers, including the one who gave you the cat, need to keep their noses out of it. Only if they were living with him day in and day out can they offer up an opinion of your character. If he did fine with the litter box, then suddenly was having issues, it's a medical thing.........they might or might not be able to successfully treat. My daughter has a cat who was like that. He did just fine for the longest time........then all over the place in the house. She tried having him neutered to see if it would help. (she would've done that anyway) Nope. She put up with it until he started going all over the baby's things. She didn't give him up, but she did put him outside on a permanent basis. They still care for him, and since he's been outside he's also went from super shy to very affectionate......so he gets plenty of lovin' even out there. I personally, know for certain you went beyond what I'd have done. I put Willie out for the same behavior. (he never learned a litter box from momma cat) And I did take care of him. But Mr Bruce has been put on notice should he ever start doing the potty in the house/not in the litter box deal........he's outside quick with Minnie and Midnight. I can barely tolerate cat waste IN the litter box. Outside of it makes me gag and vomit. I'd rather put up with dog waste, it doesn't linger for eternity. You need to let go of the guilt. Somethings we just don't get much control over. IF it was a medical issue, and it sounds like it was..........he's in a much better place now even though you all miss him terribly. (((hugs)))) [/QUOTE]
