Dominance Issues

2/28/2014

Do you have a dominant cat that suddenly has litter box issues?  Here is my recent experience.  I have an 8-year-old dominant-prone male Ragdoll cat.  All the others recognize his dominance and give him plenty of room.  Recently, I rescued a 1-year-old Tortie Ragdoll female.  She wants to rule the roost.  She doesn't recognize dominant boy's territory. 

The other night as I was cleaning the litter boxes (3 were clean and I was working on the last one), dominant boy peed in the lid of the litter box right in front of my face.  I laughed and figured he couldn't wait.  The next day, he pooed right outside one of the boxes while looking at my face.  Now, that's just not right.  What's going on with dominant boy?  Maybe a visit to the vet is in order.

Today, he has been asking for treats and came for his petting time.  I groomed him and told him what a beautiful boy he is, gave him treats, and spent some time loving on him.  Today he has used the litter boxes just fine.  Maybe he just needed a little reassurance that I KNOW he is the dominant one!

That is just too funny! I guess sometimes they have a way of making their point!
