Has million dollar home but can’t afford boots and puts them on layaway? Makes sense. I’m sure OP is totally legit.

I mean I feel bad for you but now the problem is your cat. So contain your cat to a room with only washable things.

I am real!!!! Update. He’s finally looking for a place, his cat has been kept in his room since. Meanwhile everywhere his cat ventured in the house one of my cats is marking on nonstop! One sofa thrown out. My gorg custom sectional is peed on daily. I try cleaning it but she keeps peeing on it. I opened up all the doors to lanai to air out the house and noticed the smell got stronger. She is now peeing on all my gorgeous sunbrella outdoor furniture too because his cat was out there just one time when he first moved in. I warned my husband(who’s never owned cats) this was a possibility because cats are very territorial. It’s a nightmare, the smell is disgusting, and puts me in such a bad mood. Luckily his cat never ventured to the other side of house formal living, dining room, master bedroom so my cat doesn’t mark in these areas. I just stay in my room as much as possible.

Cat pee is the #1 thing real estate agents hate. The smell is nearly impossible to remove. I agree, offer and pay for boarding of the cat.

I’d have him take the cat to a vet to see if there’s any short term medication they can put it on to mellow it out.

Yep. I had to medicate my cat for about 6 months when we had some guests with their own pets. It was really effective. Also, I would not rule out the resident cat as the culprit.

What did you use to medicate your cat? Any issues once you stopped the medication? Thanks!

I used amitriptyline. No issues. Fluoxetine is also supposed to be effective but at the time was slightly more expensive. The amitriptyline was $5 a month from the walmart pharmacy, but this was a few years ago. I have no idea what the current cost is.

Ugh, I feel for you OP, cat pee smell never goes away.

If you don't already, put protective sheets on every mattress in the house trust me.

I had a roommate with a cat who peed everywhere in my crappy college apartment and yes, it was horrible. It took me ages to fix my mattress (too poor to replace it at the time). Lots and lots of cleaner and baking soda, letting it dry and vacuuming it.

Have him pay for the damages. New couch. Professional cleaners. Make sure the cat stays in one room of the house. This is not acceptable! I would be super upset too especially since there is an easy solution for this that he won’t take.

Cool cat, she knows what to do.

This is my nightmare, he should find somewhere else to live/destroy.

Tell your stepson to be a man and get a dog.

Can this neurotic lady be driven to some area of woods and accidentally be left behind?

Can the cat accidentally get outside and get lost?
