Advice desperately needed
Hi,
I really need some advice about my cat.
He is about 2 years old and is a feral that we took in when he was a baby. We got him in Spain and he also lived in France for about 8 months with my family until he could come to England on the pet passport.
We have always had a problem with him weeing in strange places, in Spain it was the sofa, in France my Mum got so fed up with him weeing on washing / bed / carpet that she couldnt wait to get rid of him, and now in England he has a spot on the carpet and ALWAYS on the bed.
This is happening at least once a week now. we have tried all the home remedies like orange peel on the bed and tea tree oil but nothing seems to stop him.
He is neutered although he still humps my other cat all the time, as well as biting anyone that goes near him.
All the minor things i can handle - but i cant keep having the duvet and mattress cleaned every week. i really am at the end of my tether.
I've had some long talks with my partner and my mum about this and have come to realise that i cant keep putting up with this every week for the rest of him life.
I assume that he is the way that he is because he is Feral and they seem to be wired differently even if brought up by people from an early age.
If anybody can think of anything that could help PLEASE let me know.
I'm going to see a vet on saturday to discuss my options, at the moment i am wondering if it would be best to rehome him to somewhere like a farm where he can live outdoors with someone to put food down for him, as i live so close to a road i keep him indoors.
What do you think i should do?
I dont think the RSPCA would take him because of his aggression - and i would hate to have to have him put down.
Do you think i am being fair to him? i feel so terrible thinking like this but what other choice do i have?
