Since she DID keep food down and used the box 1) at the shelter for one month and 2) at the vets for 3 days, I believe it is not medical. Don't assume that there is no medical issue based on the above. A UTI can crop up in a day, not to mention the fact that at the vets she was confined to a very small area and peeing in the litterbox was probably her only choice. Please get her urine checked to rule out a medical cause. That is the *only* way to be sure. Assuming it's behavioral, when indeed it might be medical and causing her pain and discomfort, would not be right.

A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way." - W.H.

"Iso" wrote in message m... I hate to say it, but you have your hands full. Sometimes cats that have problems like this, at this age are almost irreversible. I agree with Mary regarding putting her in a bathroom until she settles down, and you get on a normal sleeping schedule, and minimize your damages. Also, granted your resident cat is neutered and declawed, I would just let them go at it. You are dealing with two elderly cats, not tigers. They still have their teeth though ! Alison |

You
are dealing with two elderly cats, not tigers. They still have their teeth though ! Alison That's true, Alison! Besides, the OP mentioned one cat was five which is far from being elderly, and I don't recall her mentioning the other's age. You can't just let two cats "go at it." It'll set back the introduction, badly. Sherry |
