Matt D
Savannah Teenager
Hello all! My name is Matt and my girlfriend and I are newcomers to the Savannah family. We adopted Luxor (formerly Benji) about 3 months ago. He is a VERY warm and affectionate cat and loves his walks (we have a retractable leash for him to be able to run). We have a lot of different toys and a couple of cubes which he absolutely loves to run in and out of and he follows us around constantly (to the point that we think he has separation anxiety).
After we got him we had to move apartments due to our lease being up and my girlfriend finding a new job. When we moved he was totally fine, still very affectionate and energetic. We have (2) cat trees and a few cat shelves (which he is still getting used to).
We have (2) cat litter boxes which we change and clean totally anywhere from every 1-2 weeks. We feed him blue buffalo grain free food and have had his pee checked for a UTI and anything else that could be medically wrong with him and they have found nothing. We believe he is about 2-3 years old.
It started in our last apartment. My girlfriend and I were getting ready after work for a dinner with my co-workers. We normally come home and give him a lot of attention but we were in a rush. He jumped on the bed, looked directly at me and peed on the bed. I used natures miracle on the spot and washed the sheets and comforter with both Tide and more natures miracle. He did it again less than a week later. Due to the pee, I slept on the day bed we had at the time and I found after the fact that he had peed on that bed as well after I had slept there.
After that we kept him out of our bedroom unless we were in there (as he likes to sleep with us every night and lounge around on it during the day). When we moved, we decided that since he had been good, we would allow him in the room BUT we would put a plastic sheet over the bed (which we had heard would stop the act as they don't normally like to pee on plastic). Since that time he has peed on the bed, on the plastic sheet 4 times.
We have tried a different litter and the cat attract litter and nothing works. He does pee outside sometimes when we are on our walks and he uses the litter boxes most of the time, except for the few times I mentioned (I would say 8~10 times in 3~4 months).
We have gotten rid of the daybed as we wanted to get rid of anything that may confuse him (thinking he was more confused and getting used to peeing on the beds).
Today my girlfriend came home and she was in the bedroom changing after saying hello to him and he peed on the bed again. He did not pee since late yesterday evening which we thought was odd.
Our other issue with him is that he seems to want to play but he uses his teeth to get our attention. I have tried a spray bottle, which worked for a while. But even when he is exhausted, he still uses his teeth sometimes to the point that at night I am walking around at night and have to look over my shoulder because he likes to stalk us. Again, this isn't all the time as he is normally VERY affectionate and lovey.
Any help would be appreciated! Hopefully I put enough info in there to give a general idea of our situation.
