[quote=Anonymous]We have had one cat for years, but two years ago the kids talked me into more kittens from a neighborhood litter.  We ended up taking two kittens, thinking that they'd be friends with each other and keep the older cat company.  All three are incredibly social, friendly cats.  All three are spayed / neutered and in good health.  but the older cat and the male one of the two kittens are like oil / water - they have never gotten along and at this point, after two years, I don't think they will.

I can deal with the occasional hissing and fighting, but the younger cat has started spraying.  I think it's a dominance thing.  I've spent the last six months cleaning cat urine on almost a daily basis.  My closet.  My shoes.  The radiator.  A spot near the wall in the kitchen.  I've gone through all sorts of anti-cat urine cleaning products and dozens of rolls of paper towels.   I've consulted a vet (who recommended we get extra litter boxes - which we did), the internet (which said to buy cat calming diffusers, collars and sprays, which we did) and books (which said to pay more attention to the pisser to ensure he feels secure, which we do).  I feel like I have tried everything and it hasn't helped and I cannot imagine dealing with another 12 years of cat piss.

I've never given an animal away, but I don't know what to do. The spraying cat is a really affectionate, neat cat except for his battle with the older cat and his spraying.  He doesn't deserve to die at a shelter - but I'm so freaking tired of cat piss. Has anyone out there been in this situation and found a good way to solve it?  I find myself googling for cat retirement homes and other non-existent solutions, but maybe there's another way. [/quote]
