[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I put an otherwise healthy 3 year old cat down after struggling with the same thing for 3 years.  Ruined our couch, peed on everything soft,  and if he jumped on our bed,  even in the middle of the night,  I'd wake right up from a dead sleep and try to grab him mid-pee. Because jumping on our bed always led to peeing. Peed on my mother in law in the middle of the night.  Would stop for a month or so,  then do it again.  Had him on Prozac, then a miss of 2 drugs,  saw a cat therapist behaviorist  (didn't do any good,  she was useless), and had scat mats on the couches. Finally decided we couldn't live under seine any longer.  He was anxious, so we couldn't make him and odor ir barn cat, couldnt give him to someone else as I knew he'd do it there, etc.  Vet came to the house and peacefully put him to sleep.

In your case, OP, you've had him for years,  he's very elderly now and you will need to put him down in a year or so, and I think it's time now.

How would you ever think to put him in a windowless basement? Even stuck in the laundry room,  it's away from his people,  and he's a social cat. Time to do it, he won't know anything after its done,  you're going to lose him in a year,  it'll just be a bit sooner. I'm really sorry, OP, this is a hard decision. But living in a tiny room with no human contact isn't really living.  Why not let him go? You'd do it if he was in physical pain,  well.... he's in emotional pain.

Omg, next time just try to adopt the cat out to someone with problem solving skills instead of killing him.[/quote]
