Why I need a new home

Does not get along with other pet

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Rico LOVES to cuddle!! He will curl up on your lap and take pets and quietly purr for hours if you let him. Since he has his claws, we just put a blanket in lap and he can flex his claws as much as he likes. He also likes belly rubs - it's adorable, he looks like a little black bear. He loves kids too, is loving to anyone who is calm and gentle.

He has a cute little meow that sounds strange since he's quite a big kitty.

We got him from my sister in law who finds outdoor cats homes, he had been outdoors for at least a year or so, but hard to say exactly how long, and he was already neutered. He might be a good indoor/outdoor cat since he's used to outdoors already.

He has very good box manners, always goes inside and covers well.

The reason we need to rehome him is our other longtime, 11 year old kitty will not adjust to him being in the house, no matter what we've tried. She has made our dining room her new litter area but still pees outside the box which is not good.
