I have heard that cat litter can be painful on the paws after having claws removed. Years ago I had a friend who had that problem They put those puppy pee pads in the litter box and the cat started using it again. Anyhow, I would try something softer than cat litter. If you cant afford the pads, maybe shredded newspaper would work. ( but you would have to keep all papers, books, magazines picked up or he might use those also.) Good Luck.


I agree about using the pee pads or shredded paper. I would take him back to the vet just to make sure that there is no underlying medical condition causing this behavior. If everything is ok I suggest putting out a couple of litter boxes for the time being. Also if there are too many changes at once it could just be stress causing this behavior. Sorry you are going through this and I hope you get this figured out. There are a few different things that could be causing this so I would definitely start with the vet. Maybe he is territorial, new member of the family or living in the household could stress him out. I'm not sure but here is some info and I hope it helps.

Sorry, but it had to be said. It was a really horrible thing to do to something you supposedly love.

Really? I'm not here to hear about how horrible my decision was. I came for advice. My reasoning doesn't matter. If you're not going to answer my question or give me advice then don't reply.
