davis_squareHi again,
We are looking for a home for our 8-year-old male cat.
We've added children to our home in the last 2 years and he's super child friendly -- but he really, really needs more attention than we can give him. He would do best in a household without children and would do fine with other animals as we've had other cats most of the time we've had him.
The problem we are having is peeing outside the litter box. The problem he is having is that he's just not happy. I can't promise he won't ever do it under perfect circumstances, but he definitely started doing this when our daughter was born and his world got turned upside down. All cat supplies we have can come with him; litter box, some litter, some food and treats. If you or anyone you know is interested, please email me at karen@mkmiller.org .

Re: Apparently, this also needs to be said

She can learn "no pulling cat's tail! no!" but not "the kitty doesn't want to play right now" or "I know that's your favorite chair, but the kitty was sitting there first". This isn't a matter of parenting skill or style but simple human development.
