Tobi is MAD!

So i was going to post today about our London themed tea party this past weekend...and then Tobi went absolutely bat crazy and it is honestly all that i can think about.
Let's rewind a moment. 
February 3rd i posted this picture on instagram:
This cute stray cat that was overly friendly was up at my porch meowing away. I decided it was probably starving and decided to feed it, problem #1.
The cute friendly cat kept coming back for more food and love and i felt so dang bad for it that i didn't want it to starve. 
Insert picture #2:
More food for the cute kitty that we had affectionately named...Binx (yes like hocus pocus).
Well i thought we'd be able to do this, you know having an outside cat that we could take care of. 
One that wouldn't come inside, we would pet it while we were outside and make sure it had food/water, give a stray a little piece of home.
I. was. W-R-O-N-G!
Insert Tobi:
I had been outside petting Binx and when i came back inside Tobi smelled my hand. 
This led to him running away from me and when i finally caught him, he swatted at me...multiple times. 
He then continued to run from me and be all pissy and attitude'ish. I decided maybe he need to just suck it up and deal with Binx. So maria was on the front porch petting Binx and i opened the door and held Tobi. He did alright for about a minute and then started to grunt and get aggressive so i shut the door. He then ran from me some more and wouldn't let me touch him. 
Yesterday we were gone most of the afternoon and when i got home i saw that he had PEED OUTSIDE OF HIS LITTER BOX. You see he's done this before when my brother left for school, he is apparently very temperamental and loyal (minx cats are). So when he peed outside of his box this time, i knew it was because he was furious with me for petting this other cat. 
Then as i was cleaning in the living room/foyer area i smelt it.
TOBI FREAKING SPRAYED somewhere.
I was furious.
Seriously all because of one dang stray cat he gets all territorial and has to mark his spot. UGH.
So tonight i'm going to try to find some home remedies to help combat this spray smell, as well as cracking the windows open. 
{pssstttt anyone know of a solution for this spray smell?}
So now i'm stuck with a problem. 
What do i do with Binx?
I've been told i need to box him up and take him to the SPCA; because he can't stay outside of the house if Tobi is going to continue to freak out like this. 
I'm so torn.
I dont want Binx to be potentially put down, but he isn't my cat, and my cat is stressing himself out.
=(
Maybe i can get my grandma to come get him?
She lives out on some land and they could always use another cat.
I'll keep y'all posted.

Yikes! That's not a fun situation at all. Hopefully someone will want to adopt the little kitty! Or if you know anyone who lives out in the country, maybe they could take him so he can roam out there?

You could post flyers/ads for a free-to-a-good-home cat. Then you would know that he is not going to sit in a shelter, or possibly be put down in the future.

I would ask your grandmother or a friend! Facebook, Craigslist, etc. I got my cat from Craigslist and you'd be surprised how many people might be interested!

We gave Michael's cat away on Craigslist. It didn't take but an hour or so, and he had a new home!

Binx needs a home at your Grandma's and Tobi needs counseling! ;) We had an issue with a cat that sprays when big changes happening. Thankfully, he's mostly outside. Sometimes his sprays do happen in the garage though. :( For that we got some kind of pet deoderizer spray at Walmart. It works surprisingly well. Let us know what you end up doing!

Aww Binx is a cutie! Too bad Tobi is pissed.

OHH man. Tobi! Chill out! :)

Laura Darling said...

Oh no! I hope you find a home for him!

Ahh that is so sad! Poor Tobi AND poor Binx. Sounds like Binx needs a new home since Tobi was there first. I hope your Grandma can give him a home!
