He's still very shy and I rarely see him. I hope he feels more comfortable soon.

Dog fleas are endemic, really. That's why it's best to use systemic flea (and tick) killers to keep them at bay.
Metope:
Can this thread be used for pet advice too? We have a cat who likes to stick her butt over the edge of the cat box and piss on the floor. It has nothing to do with how clean her box is, in fact she prefers to do it when the box is clean. She's always done it occasionally really, but the past few weeks it's been almost every day, sometimes several times a day. We can't have a bath mat and we're sick of buying paper towels. Things we've tried are:
Covered cat box - she hates those and ends up also crapping on the floor instead.
Putting the box on a tray so we can clean the tray instead of the floor - she ends up sitting on the tray and pissing on the floor.
Next thing on the list is getting a new box with taller edges so she can't stick her butt over, but I don't know how humane that is because she's old and I don't want going to the toilet being difficult for her. Any suggestions?

My cat likes to piss in the shower when something's bothering her (thankfully a place that's easy to clean). It can be all sorts of reasons, not just the litterbox being empty. Last week she did it (I'm assuming) because the food bowl was empty over night. Can you think of anything that might bother your cat, besides the litterbox?
Metope:
Not really anything bothering her that I know of, even when she was stressed because we moved houses she didn't do it this much. I think she does it accidentally, she pees up against the wall of the box and ends up aiming outside of it instead, usually at the place where the wall is at its lowest. I guess getting a tub with consistently sized walls all around would work, as long as it's not too tall. Fingers crossed.
