Some of you may remember back when Caleb was younger. I was at my wit's end because he had been peeing on the beds and clothing or towels on the floor. He hasn't done it since he was six months old. He's now 10 months old and he's started it again!
He started it a few weeks ago. So far the only thing he's done is pee on my mom's bed. We don't know why he's doing it. He hasn't been under any stress, he isn't acting annoyed by anything... He's his regular self. He KNOWS he's not supposed to do it. Most often we find out he's done it because we will suddenly see him run as fast as he can out of my mom's room, and go downstairs.
He peed on her bed again this morning. She washed the sheets and blankets and everything, and she JUST put them back on. She went to the kitchen to grab some food, went back, and there was more pee! And he was long gone. He finds the most oportune moments to do it, does it as fast as he can and gets the heck out of there. The other day I was talking on the phone in my mom's room and my back was turned. Guess he thought I wouldn't turn around and see what he was doing. I looked back and he ran like heck.
My mom hates to keep her door closed because the air gets all yucky and then she can't breathe at night. So now she wants me to keep Caleb locked downstairs, but I rarely remember to keep the door closed.
I don't understand why he does this. I don't even know why he quit doing it for four months when nothing had changed! We had him tested for UTI back then and nothing was wrong, so I think I'm safe to assume nothing is wrong with that now. His drinking is fine, he still uses his litter box. Sometimes I have to wonder, considering where he came from (animal hoarder with very sick cats), if he doesn't just have a few screws loose in the head.
On a better note, I weighed him today, and he is 11 pounds! Is that big for a 10 month old? Do you think I can expect him to get alot bigger?
Thanks for the vent, and any suggestions are appreciated.
