What should I do with my cats?
I don't really know what to do with my two kitties. They're brothers (both fixed at 6 months), and even though they're no longer kittens, they're still wild (I love them exactly how they are, though). One doesn't like the box, he'd rather pee on the carpet no matter what we try, and we've tried a lot. The other attacked my landlord. I mean he assaulted the poor man, who had to fend him off with a folding chair. My sister and I moved back home to save up and our kitties moved in with my friend (family wouldn't have them), who has a spare bedroom in a separate building than her residence, so it was perfect. We'd like to stay at home until we can get lots of money saved to buy a nice place where our kitties can destroy whatever and won't have to worry about landlords walking in, but we can't keep our cats in a room forever.
There are no windows or heaters and we can't leave the lights on all day, so they have nightlights 23 hours a day, and we have to drive 45 minutes from home (10 from work) to visit. Both of us have full-time jobs, so we can only see them for a little while every day. We could deal with parting with them if it meant they had better lives, but would anybody take cats like that? An attack cat? Really, I don't know. We don't want them to be destroyed. The peeing would be fine if he were an outside kitty, but he's so passive, I wonder if he'd be easily hurt? Maybe not, but I just don't know what to do!
Oh, these cats were raised to fear the water bottle, but that doesn't stop them. Also, you can't watch your cat's 24 hours a day when you work, you know? I can't ask little Artie to only pee on the carpet when I'm at home.
Seriously, we've tried the water bottle (runs away, then tries again later, all sneaky-like), we've tried pet repellent (finds another spot to go), aluminum foil (thought it was a toy), two litter boxes, different brands/kinds of litter, and we clean it at least twice a day. We give him positive reinforcement when he goes in the box, and negative reinforcement when he goes on the carpet. Now what? I think he just likes it better.

If i were you i would spray your cat with water every time it is doing something wrong that way the cat should go and hide away from the bottle.......
This is not crule ....
When the kitten eats or drinks put it into the kitty litter straight away..... it will then realsie that after eat/drinking it goes to the toliet.
I hope this helps!!!

Oh sure! All the time lol, it makes me soar up with fright and make an apology (cats title) after which I comprehend it's only some of the cats rubber balls that I am stepping on. It is so humorous whilst that occurs! lol

Teach your cat by spraying them with water (whenever they do wrong). Love and effort will work out! You don't need to spend too much money to your kittens.
Peace!!!
