Cat for re-homing
Discussion
Unfortunately we need to look to get our cat re-homed, and as all of the local (North Essex) sanctuaries are full to bursting, I thought I'd chance my arm here.
He's just about five years old, and unfortunately, since we had our baby at Xmas he's started spraying - predominantly around his litter box but occasionally elsewhere. Unfortunately, the baby is just starting to get mobile and clearly something has to give - and the baby can't go back! He was neutered, and since this has kicked off, we have had him checked out by the vet, but as per our suspicions he's in fine health but clearly not happy. We've tried the plug-in cat calming things and other suggestions by the vet but to no avail, so he's free to a good home if anyone's interested.

I suspect it is the change in environment - i.e. the addition to the family Becky, so yes it's a concern that it may continue in a new home unfortunately.
No less affection, he's a bit of a loner really and always has been.
Thanks for those Simpo, I don't know as the Mrs has tried those two, so will pass them on.
Edit - missed the magic wok comment when I read your post. Perhaps I should post in food and restaurants for some recipes as well?!

3 cats here 2 elderly, all accepted baby well (now a 2yr old who is really really good with them) but I prepared them!
Perhaps this would be a good place to put up ideas about how to prepare cats for the change in the house with a new arrival. The OP might see something they can do and others might be able to put it into effect.If the OP doesn't object of course.

I would but I did ask OP what he has done in more detail already. There is a lot to write and I don't want to waste time writing about things the owner has already tried. Once I have more info I'll be more than happy to help. Plus I am really drained at the mo. 45hrs in 4 days and very short staffed at work, my brain is fuzzy!
Fair one me dear. Hope you feel better soon.Jasandjules said:
