So me and my boyfriend have a male, maine coon mix named Smitty (he is fixed). We got him about 8 months ago and all was going well for the first few weeks that he was kept away from our other animals (we have 1 dog and 3 other cats...all female/fixed). Smitty was kept in my office while we slowly introduced all of the animals and he peed and pooped in his litter box fine, however, once he was left to roam the full house he immediately stopped using the various boxes in the house (we have 6 boxes...1 covered, 1 automatic cleaning, and 4 just plain boxes). We've tried everything from various litter types, anti-stress plug-ins, moving the boxes to where he is peeing (he pees and poops RIGHT next to the boxes), we clean daily and use enzyme cleaners to clean the mess (we have carpet unfortunately). My boyfriend is getting fed up as recently he started peeing under his gaming PC desk and told me I have to figure something out because nothing is working and he thinks giving Smitty up is going to be the next move. I love this cat and he has brought me so much joy and I don't want to lose him but I understand my boyfriends frustration as we really have tried everything and he just doesn't stop going outside the boxes. We've taken him to the vet and they said medically he is fine and is in great health...he also gets along great with all of the other animals in the house and I work from home so I give them all plenty of attention...I really am just so lost on what else I can do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
