Ladies, I am in your cat pee club! It used to
be just Antonio marking and Elavil then Prozac helped ... didn't stop
altogether. Then after a couple of years why spend the money or give him
the drugs since he didn't stop and others started. Sam never peed outside
the box but I witnessed him fully dosing the (towel covered) toaster so I
suppose he is the guilty one for hitting the back of the cupboard. Minnie
Lu pees on the stove during the night or early morning. Now Emily (?)
began a spot in the garage. I think she is upset because the present three
kitties there with her harrass her and the past three liked her and either
played with her or ignored her. Most everything in my house has been "hit"
either marking or all out bladderful. Feliway didn't do anything. I
love them though.

Hi, Nina, I am sorry it's probably not supposed to, but your
message gave me a good laugh :) -just because I go through very very same
thing with Bruce and you. I put clothes on to go to work and start
sniffing at work, huh...I smell like a cat pee and I realized that my cat
had peed on my clothes and I was too dull to realize right away - and
this happened more than a few times..
I used to have the feliway
diffusers everywhere in the house, I had, I think about 8 or 9 diffusers,
and of course they run out every several weeks and I either forgot to
replace or couldn't afford at that time or something,, and haven't been
diligent about it - but I think I should use it again if it's working for
you guys.
Now I put cushions from the couches laying on the floor after
Oreo and JoJo's disk/back surgery - I don't want them to be jumping on the
couch since it's too high for some of them, and my vet told me that jumping
is a very bad thing for their back..so I started putting the cushions
on the floor so that they can use them as their bed or to use as a
step stool to jump on the couch - and now some of my dogs start peeing
on these ----ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! But, when I am about to go nuts,
I always try to remind my self of my priority - as long as they
are healthy, I shouldn't complain - though my house is never gonna look
(or smell like for that matter) ones from country living magazine
or architectural digest - but they are my angels and my very reasons
for living - I just have to continue to be creative or develop a
really tough skin so that I am not too irritated by these
things...

Re: OT - 2 things
That's a good idea Hideyo. My Queen Ursula is a
sprayer and the feliway does help with her, (as long as I remember to keep
spraying the stuff). I know what her problem is, she gets pissed,
(literally), whenever, we, her humble servants, displease her. Gypsy is
the one who all out urinates on soft bedding, (poor Zevon, his bed is her
favorite spot!). Gypsy started the behavior when she was very, very sick.
I think she preferred using cloth to the litter box, because she had sores
on her legs and the litter was irritating to her sensitive skin. She was
also so weak, that I'm guessing, that whatever was close by and absorbent
was
fine with her, she too enjoys sleeping on the same stuff she will
later pee on. (It ain't dog behavior, I'll tell you that!) She's so much
stronger now, but she will still urinate on the occasional laundry
pile.
Even Ursa does that though. Poor Bruce was sent screaming from
the bedroom the other week when he unknowingly tried to slip on a pair of
pee-soaked jeans he'd left lying on the floor next to the bed. It was
right after he'd taken a shower too! You'd think we'd become better
housekeepers around here, but so far we're being slow
learners. Nina
