"mpwilliams" wrote This cat was neutered, right?? Yes, "a two-year-old neutered male ASH tabby in robust physical health" means, among other things, that he was (obviously) neutered. Sorry, I missed that. Great success story, thanks for sharing it. I am still inclined to try other means before drugging my cats, but the information you provided here may be helpful. I have a friend whose cat likes to pee on the futon. The only thing that seems to lessen the likelihood is an antidepressant (can't recall which). The cat is declawed (friend got her that way from the shelter). I do wonder if this is related, as I've heard that declawed cats often develop behavior problems. My friend would never declaw a cat, but she does intentionally choose already-declawed cats from the shelter ... I haven't quite sorted out the feelings I have about this. I mean, she's not having the cats declawed, and there are certainly plenty of already-declawed cats who need homes ... but ... ick =/ -- monique, roommate of Oscar the (female) grouch ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eros was adopted! Eros has a home now! *cheer!*

It is wonderful that Monique's friend adopts them.

I guess it's just the preference for having a cat who's declawed that gives me icky feelings. However, as I don't anticipate there being any shortage of declawed cats in the near future, I guess you're right *sigh* -- monique, roommate of Oscar the (female) grouch ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eros was adopted!
