I'm having a real problem with my cat. He's nine-years-old, neutered, deaf, and kind of an idiot - I love him, but it's true. Prior to the puppy coming home, he spent most of his time in my bedroom with me, but he can't now since the puppy stays here. I leave the door open for the cat to come in at night when the puppy is crated, but lately the cat has been coming in just to pee and/or poop on and around the puppies things - his bed, his toys, etc.
He isn't ill, he just had his annual wellness check-up and is in perfect health, so all I can figure is that he is being spitey, but he's going to have to get over it. I can't have him peeing in the puppies beds every night. I can't really lock him out either, though, because he'll spent literally the entire night screaming bloody murder outside my bedroom door unless I let him in.
I'm hoping maybe there are a few cat people who might be able to give me some advice.
