subject:"Re\: OT Help, I am so embarrassed"

Well, someone just called me in to the conference room and said I smelled like a litter box. I pulled this dress out of the washer this morning. It was washed in 1 cup white vinegar plus detergent plus oxyclean. There is no way it was peed on unless the cats got in the washer and peed on it. I don't know what to do.

RE: OT Help, I am so embarrassed

2006-11-13 Thread Rosenfeldt, Diane




Well, damn, Kelley, what a predicament. And how 
hurtful!

Okay, was this the same person who called you in the other 
day? Was this somebody who knew, or should have known, that you had been 
called in last week for the same complaint? Did he/she PERSONALLY say you 
smelled, or was it a "people are saying" kind of thing? Did they say you 
specifically smell today, or could it be a carryover from last week 
somehow? I know you've already wracked your brain about this, but is there 
anything you were wearing/carrying that might have gotten spritzed without you 
noticing, either now or previously? Could the combined essences of 
vinegar, detergent and oxyclean possibly be taken as ammonia-like when warmed 
with body heat? Because I'm thinking, if people know you have cats and 
smell ANYTHING that's not Chanel No. 5 in your vicinity, be it Mr. Clean, Lemon 
Scented Pledge or smelly feet, they're more prone to INTERPRET it as cat odor 
because they're predisposed. 

You have my sympathies. I know this would drive me 
nuts. BTW, I'd suggest keeping some sort of written record on this -- what 
was said, by whom, and when, what you have done to remedy the problem, what the 
result is, etc. I'd hate to think somebody was out to get you, but it 
would be good to have some sort of documentation on your end. Is there 
somebody, a friend you can trust to be brutally honest, you can have smell your 
clothing (somewhere away from all litterboxes, with *you* standing at a 
distance) and tell you if it smells? If so, write down what they say as 
well. 

If there *is* a litterbox smell on your clothes, I'm not 
sure how much extra advantage you'd have dry cleaning them -- especially if 
they're not meant to be dry-cleaned. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but 
I don't think that enzymes are used in dry-cleaning 
chemicals.

She was actually pretty nice about it, and said she wanted to tell me before anyone else did, and said you smell funny and I think it is the litterbox.

If I smell *anything* it is a hint of white vinegar. I asked my supervisor if I smelled and he said he didnt' smell anything, but he has a stuffed up nose. 

My best friend is not here today so I can't ask her.

You have my sympathies. I know this would drive me nuts. BTW, I'd suggest keeping some sort of written record on this -- what was said, by whom, and when, what you have done to remedy the problem, what the result is, etc. I'd hate to think somebody was out to get you, but it would be good to have some sort of documentation on your end. Is there somebody, a friend you can trust to be brutally honest, you can have smell your clothing (somewhere away from all litterboxes, with *you* standing at a distance) and tell you if it smells? If so, write down what they say as well. 


If there *is* a litterbox smell on your clothes, I'm not sure how much extra advantage you'd have dry cleaning them -- especially if they're not meant to be dry-cleaned. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that enzymes are used in dry-cleaning chemicals.

See -- maybe she's reacting to the vinegar, if she just 
"thinks" it's the litterbox. Check the sequence of events: You're 
told last week that you smell like cat pee. You launder your clothes in 
vinegar, detergent and oxyclean, which leaves a faint essence of vinegar. 
This person TODAY -- not the same one as before? -- says you smell "funny" -- 
not specifically like cat pee, just "funny" -- and assumes, since it isn't a 
soap smell or cologne smell or other smell you'd expect a person to have, and 
knowing you have cats,that it'sthe litterbox. Now granted, 
it's not the best thing in the world to go around smelling like a salad either, 
but I really do think she's projecting what she thinks she knows onto what's 
reality. Maybe after you wash your stuff you should Febreze it so it 
smells "correct.";-)

2006-11-13 Thread Linda Johnson

Hi - I've been quietly lurking and following this
topic because I've had my cats pee on my clothes in
the past and wanted to see what advice was given.  

I want to share a recent discovery I've made that
makes my clothes smell great! 

I've started using the new Tide Simple Pleasures
laundry soap combined with the same fragranced Downy
Simple Pleasures fabric softener and my clothes smell
lightly scented with a nice, soft floral fragrance all
day!  The scent is strong enough to cover up any
vinegar smell that may be in the clothes.  I
personally love the Rose  Violet scent - very nice!

I've tried a lot of laundry soap because I have an
incontinent cat and I find that Tide has the strongest
and most long lasting scent - more expensive, but
worth it!

Just my 2 cents!

Linda

Kelly, Sounds like someone is just trying to make your life a living hell. Some people just hate animals and think those of us who go out of our way to help them are nuts, and they are going to proove it to us by embarrasing us every chance they get.There are bullies in the office place too!If you have a humane resource manager, just explain what is going on, the steps you've undertaken to protect your co-workers from undesired odors, and ask for help. If someone is having a problem with your "smell" they need to be allowed to move to another part of the office. If you are taking all necessary precautions, and this "someone" is still complaining, perhaps this someone is having auditory hallucinations and needs to seek counseling. (It happens.)If you want to be a smarta** buy a jar of Vicks vapor rub and give it to your
HR person to give to the one who is doing all the complaining. They use itin mortuaries to help cover the odor of rotting corpesjust have the complainer dab a small bit under each nostril...surely that would work for your highly sensitivepain in the patutie coworker. sorry...couldn't resistIf there is nothing in your office's Conduct Code mentioning odors, your coworker has no leg to stand on. If there ARE rules in your office's Conduct Code, once you follow them, you are under no committment to do more than what is specified in the rules. If your coworker still has a problem, it is up to the boss or the H.R. admin to address it with THEM...and is no longer your responsibility.(I rescued a stray dog one day on my way to school fed her and took her to class -art college-dogs were allowed in the studios- she was very quite and stayed still (mostly slept)the whole 6
hours, but one little so and so kept complaining about her being there. He finally raised a ruckus about how badly she stank! Almost in tears, I was starting to lead her out -I was going to leave class early to take her to the pound- when a fellow classmate spoke up and enlighted the annoyed party to the fact that he was painting a watercolor on watercolor paper...MOST of which are treated with rabbit skin glue...and yes, IT stinks when wet. The stink was ACTUALLYcoming from HIM. The rest of the class chimed in and the little twitt finally shut up about it.)Ask your boss or HR rep. if the offensive odor your coworker is smelling might actually be coming from his/her own space...perhaps rancid food forgotten in the desk?In any rate, thank the twitt for his or her imput and suggest that he/she find a way to deal with it.Good luck,

Point out when the other people smell 
bad? Go to the boss and whine every time someone farts in the office? Humm... 
try the Gain with Febreeze (the purple cap one), the Downy liquid with the 
Febreeze (purple caps again), and the Bouce sheets with Febreeze (the lavender 
box). Those both have so much perfume in them you could choke a horse! You 
bought a new purse and shoes, right?

Just suggestions. not that they will 
stop your co-workers from complaining, but maybe it will make you feel better! 
Like others have said, it's probably all in your co-worker's minds 
now

I have a great idea take all your 
skills, and write up a nice resume, and apply at VET OFFICES, maybe they could 
use a person with your skills there, and the smell wouldn't be an 
issue.

LOL Beth, I'm sorry - I had to laugh. These things just happen 
when you have babies.

Embarrassing is wearing a nice dress...then sitting in a melted chocolate 
bar without knowing it...and then prancing off to take care of some business 
down town and the television crews are there. ::snicker:: These 
things keep a girl humble. :0)

  OK, ya wanna know what embarrassing is? Try going out to a nice 
  dinner, wait staff reaching over your shoulder constantly to serve the food, 
  fill the water glasses, clear the plates, and only notice when you are leaving

  to me more than once...
  
  I haven't used Odo-Ban for urine odors, but it did an incredible job 
  getting spilled gasoline smell out of car trunk carpet. 
  
  Another thought, people are so easily influenced by the power of 
  suggestion, if they know you have cats their brains might tell them "cat 
  urine" when it is actually another odor. For some reason my neighbor's 
  pine treeson a foggy day smell just like cat pee to me, even back when I 
  had no cats. I would smell it, then become convinced thatsome 
  beastie must havefound a way into my crawl space and gone potty. 
  Hubby finally made the connection to the trees...
  
  Good luck,

you smell like cat pee. I have some nice kitty tootsie rolls for that

Re: OT Help, I am so embarrassed

I think, too, that it is hard for people to come to you and tell you that you smell bad -- I was told by the person who has been my best friend for 20+ years -- and she said it was one of the hardest things she'd ever done. I am just very appreciative of her doing it! It was kind of funny once -- she and I head off to Dallas for a shopping weekend every so often and on one trip I thought everything I took was clean and smelled like spring! When we got to the hotel I ended up having toleave my leather purse and leather jacket out on the balcony to let them air out (leather apparently REALLY absorbs odor) and having to send all my clothes for overnight cleaning. My friend said the smell nauseated her -- and wouldn't you know I STILL thought they all smelled like spring! I guess it helps if you can find some humor in it -- but it is hard.I now leave my
purse in my car all the time and I leave my leather jacket hanging in the closet at work all summer.Kelley Saveika [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: They aren't my friends though, they are my coworkers.:( On 11/10/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well that's pretty sorry sneaking behind your back like that.

Nina, you are cracking me up :0) I am just sitting here thinking 
about what would happen if I asked my small band of co-workers if I smelled like 
cat pee. My name would officially become "CAT PEE WOMAN"they would 
change my name plate on my door LOL I would hear cat pee jokes for the 
next 3 months...whether I had a trace of cat pee or not ;-) You 
can't have a thin skin where I work. One of us had to get his two front 
teeth pulledthe rest of the gang all wore halloween teeth the next day in 
his honor ;-) Still...I don't know if they would honestly let me know or 
not. I know I showed up one day in an elegant cat pee duster..I had to lay 
low that day...

Re: OT Help, I am so embarrassed

Ember -- my depo-medrol boy with chronic skin allergies -- will pee in the box but poop on the linoleum near the back door (this is the laundry room where we have several boxes). This was wearing on meuntil Hannah arrived. A sweet little former momcat who will poop wherever she stands. I don't get it. The poop is solid. She's a nice cat. No one picks on her. We have 6 boxes in 3 different parts of the house, scooped twice daily. She hasn't a vindictive or nasty bone in her body. She was spayed months ago so it isn't hormonal. It's like she just doesn't understand the litterbox. (Any thoughts/suggestions? She is FIV+ but I don't think that has anything to do with it.) I'm thinking about confining her to a codo cage at night and when we aren't home, and keeping an eye on her when we are around so I can catch her in the act and carry her -- poop plopping as we go -- to the nearest litter

RE: OT Help, I am so embarrassed

2006-11-10 Thread Rosenfeldt, Diane




Oh dear. Have you physically put her in the box and 
"helped" her scratch the litter with her paw, like they tell you to do with 
kittens? I guess it doesn't always come naturally.

Our sweet Doyle, no other health issues, is a big fraidy 
cat. He's low on the pecking order, so is intimidated by all the 
others. Even my mild-mannered Luc has terrorized him from time to 
time. Doyle has taken to staying on the kitchen windowsill or on the 
adjoining counter ALL the time. We don't know how he eats but he obviously 
does. Now he's started pooping and peeing on the floor right below the 
window, he's too scared to zoom across the kitchen to the 2 other boxes in 
adjoining rooms. Tonight we're going to fix up a litterbox under the 
kitchen table, which is used mainly to keep the Fritos off the floor 
anyway. Don't like the idea of a litterbox right in the kitchen, but the 
pee and poop is hardly less sanitary... We've been carrying Doyle into the 
living room for a little while every night, and he'll sit quietly for a bit, but 
we have to make sure to carry him back to the kitchen, because every time he 
tries to make his own way, Tribble ambushes him. Tribble has no claws, and 
Doyle does, but apparently neither of them realize this.

Re: OT Help, I am so embarrassed

People tell me that my house has NO cat odor. I am always surprised and relieved. My house can't stink because I do adoptions (of carefully pre-screened potential adopters) at my home. My house is cleaner now than when I had just my own 4 personal cats when I first moved here. As best that I can determine, here's what works:1. We scoop litterboxes twice a day and ALWAYS before someone comes to visit, and we use scoopable litter. 2.I have Chlorox bleach sheets in every room so that I can get them quick for cleanups. 3. When I scrub floors I use A-33 which deodorizes and disinfects. 4. I am not above spritzing citrus air freshners around before I answer the door. 5. My vaccuum is one of those wet/dry shop vacs with a 5 hp motor -- the kind generally associated with construction sites. That baby could suck up the entire
contents of a litterbox without even burping. (It has eaten a few of the cats' toys but no kittens have turned up missing.) 6. I do A LOT of laundry, and will add bleach to almost any load.This is all with wall to wall carpeting. We are right now in the process of replacing the carpeting with wood laminate. I can hardly wait. Right now I spend way too much time cleaning. The laminate will be so much easier.

Urine soaks into the grout BETWEEN the 
tiles, that's why you're having so many problems. Try drenching the entire floor 
with vinegar, and letting it sit for a good long time before mopping it 
up.

RE: OT Help, I am so embarrassed

I'm working on it. She is such a sweet little cat, and was such a hard luck kitty when sheshowed up on my porch skinny as a rail, immensely pregnant, and MAYBE 10 months old at best. I have never seen a cat with no comprehension of a litter box. I don't understand. So, yeah, trainingthis isn't retaliatory pooping or uncontrollable squirtsshe just seems not to understand. She is such a nice cat that I think, once I get it across to her that I would really appreciate it if she would poop in the box, I'm sure she will go along with it for my sake. She's such a nice little girl.What is even more puzzling is that Sylvia, possibly Hannah's sister or cousin -- another bowlegged, sway-backed, tabby/white, under-a-year, hugely pregnant and very hungry girl from the same location has no litterbox issues. But Hannah does. This is a first for me. We just keep picking up the poop and
shaking our heads. Normally there is a behavioral or physical explanation but here it seems that she just doesn't understand."Rosenfeldt, Diane" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Oh dear.
