To those with cats: I need advice, as soon as possible ( at least before I go and strangle my cats). Since I have begun to feed our former neighbour´s four cats, in case the lady who originally was entrusted with that task is absent again, my cats´ behaviour has changed drastically: they are less affectionate, picky of a sudden when it comes to cat food, they fight with each other all day long, and when they miraculously do not fight, they search for the neighbour cats´ kibble. And they pee: onto piles of laundered clothes, into flower pots, on plastic bags. The male one even climbs into the cat toilet, puts his posterior out and urinates directly in front of the litter box. The litter box is cleared out twice a day. Today I had to mop the bathroom floor thrice. And when I was finally done and went back to the living room, one of the cats had pooped into the ash tray, right in the middle of it. That does it. My cats get their fair share of affection, the cat tray is clean, I buy the food they liked before, but I won´t give them dry cat food, as I do with guest cats. I have paid money enough to cure the cystitis they got from it. I have a good mind to grab them and chase them out ot the house. Only that we do have a lot of fast driving cars there. I´d really like to know if they are misbehaving because they have to share my affection with other cats, and if there is a remedy for that.
