1. A few thoughts....
First, any time there's potty issues, you may want to take kitty to the vet and make sure there's not something health-related going on.

Second, does kitty sleep most of the day? This may be part of the problem. If you can't keep him up during the day, make sure he gets plenty of playtime and stimulation in the evening. Then feed him right before you're ready to go to bed. This sort of simulates a natural cycle of a cat, which they go through several times a day: hunt, kill, eat, sleep, repeat. Maybe this will settle him down enough so that he'll sleep through the night.

Also, if you're going to keep him away from you and your other cat when you sleep, he's probably lonely. I'd leave radio or TV turned on for him.

Just a few thoughts, sure there are more! :hi:
