Hi. I have adopted a 15-16 year old male Manx cat. He was mainly an outdoor cat most of his life, only coming in when it was very nasty outside. He is now strictly an indoor cat. He is fixed. He was/is litterbox trained, but dosent seem to use it. I have 2 other cats in the house, but they get along ok. I have taken him to the vet a few times, and he is in great health. The vet has recently prescribed Amitriptyline to combat what he thinks is depression, and it seemed like it was working. A few days ago, he started urinationg around the house again. He dosent even seem to use the litter boxes we have set up. We keep them as clean as we can, but it dosent seem to matter. I am taking him back to the Vet next week, but I dont know how long I can put up with him doing this every day.


Thanks for your help!
Chris Serra
