Very true; he was urinating and defecating everywhere. He didn't start doing that until about three months before we got rid of him.
Other than that he was a great cat; very well tempered, playful and loving. Plus, I've always liked Russian Blues, the color is just real kewl and their eyes are always mesmerizing. Still, I don't like the fact that he more than likely ended up being euthanized because of us.
