Ok, please bear with me if this gets a bit long. I have two cats. One is approximately four years old -- female, indoor, declawed, desexed (neutered or spayed -- whichever it is for females) and I got her from the humane society about a year ago. I lived with a roommate who had a similar cat. When I moved out, she started going crazy. Meowing all the time I wasn't in her sight (including when I was in the shower), so I decided she was lonely and got another cat.



Intro crazy #2 -- I got a 5 month old (now 8 month old), desexed male cat from the Humane society. We (my boyfriend and I) have had him about three months. The old cat was very weary of the new cat, but within two weeks they were playing together, and the older cat was cleaning the kitten.



The kitten might be Satan and bites and claws a lot (not agressively -- well, he purrs when he does, so maybe he's just sadistic). He'll bite me when we're playing, but that's only if I'm an idiot and start rubbing his belly.



Three weeks ago, my boyfriend left for two weeks. The first week, the older cat walked over to his side of the bed and peed. The moment he got in the door and dumped his dirty laundry out of his luggage, she walked over and peed on it. Last night, she, again, peed on his side of the bed. This morning, she peed on the comforter (that was on the floor staged to go to the dry cleaners -- I'd hopped in the shower with it and laundry detergent the night before so I don't know if she could still smell whatever I didn't get out). We clean the box daily (and I'm getting another today).



Ok, so she's just the crazy pisser. And Crazy #2 has taken to biting my boyfriend, all the time since he got home. I feed him and play fetch with him a lot, and, as I said, he only bites me when I instigate it. He bites my boyfriend when we're sitting on the couch. He's like, ohhhh an ankle, Chomp! He bites his legs, feet and toes mostly (though he's more often getting him in a more private area), and he'll also bite him in the middle of the night when he's sleeping.



Do my cats hate my boyfriend? Is this normal? Any suggestions of how to stop it? (The squirt gun doesn't work on the little one. He likes to play with it.) And I don't know that I'll have a BOYfriend much longer if the middle of the night private bites keep on!
