We recently received a kitty from a friend who had been fostering him for 18 months. He lived in a house with other cats but was too dominant to stay there. We are loving having Elliot here, but I don't think he's adjusting too well... he is using his litter box, but also is spraying... He sprayed in DS's closet in a basket of stuffed animals! http://www.diaperpin.com/forum04/icon_smile_dead.gif How can I wash these and get the smell out? I have some bedding and a rug to clean too.

Other than the spraying he's doing well - very good with CJ and friendly with DH & I - although he hasn't let either of us pick him up to cuddle at all.

HELP! I need some cleaning tips - maybe some tips to prevent spraying... We really want this to work, but I rent and if it smells like cat urine when they come to do the fire inspections (2x a year) then we won't be able to keep him here. http://www.diaperpin.com/forum04/icon_smile_sad.gif

Could he be smelling our other cat and rebelling? (recently got hit by a car)

Is this cat neutered? If not get it done ASAP. Sorry about the spray, that does stink! I want to say there is a cleaner you can get, though I can't think of the name. I think you can get it at any pet store/ walmart etc. Natures Remedy or something like that.

yes the cat is neutered...

I'm going to look for the spray this afternoon.

DS is in love with this cat. He actually said "HiyaElliot" today. It was the first time I heard him say hi with a name after it. I really want this to work. Our cat got hit by a car a few weeks ago - and this cat just sort of fell on our laps right after it happened. I still have the option of returning it to its foster mom (she's an animal rights activist) so I know she'll take good care of him if we can't handle the situation. I just don't want it to get to that point.
