I have two cats. The girl cat is terrific, never a problem. The boy cat has become increasingly bad at peeing outside the litter box, specifically spraying against a wall or other object. He was neutered as a kitten. No, it is not a UTI; had that checked. Prozac helped for a while then stopped having any effect. And now, we just moved to a new house which previously had 3 cats and a dog and he's more angry than ever. I have been keeping him in an unused bathroom since the containment seems to calm him down, and he won't pee on the wall if he's kept in there. I experimented with letting him just stay in a blocked off laundry area (a 7x7 room connected to that bathroom and blocked off with cardboard)... didn't help, he sprayed 3 walls of that room. Now he's back in the bathroom.
Oh, in addition to spraying, he growls and hisses when he does not approve of the smells.
I can't think of anything else that has any hope of working, and I'd hate to put the poor thing down. How about if I buy a large cat cage and leave in a window that faces the bird feeders? I don't really want to keep him like a bunny rabbit but I don't see any other options here. Any cage suggestions? I'm thinking one that is tall enough to walk into so I can pet him and interact with him, maybe 6 feet long with several platforms. Does anyone have recommendations?
