That's good news Melissa. As far as I'm concerned, no good news is trivial, we need as much of it as we can get! There is nothing like the pungent aroma of intact Tom cat! Before I could my FIV boy Starman neutered, I had to take him back and forth to a long-distant vet several times. He was te

Great news-we were able to sleep last night! The smell has already dissipated (knock on wood). Maybe he just had some squirts of really stinky stuff to get out. We can only hope.

Phaewryn, you have such useful advice! My screen is in no danger of falling out-unfortunately mine are so old that they have no fire safety mechanisms! Well, our house really isn't that old, but it was built cheaply in the early 80s. The people didn't care much for quick escapes! Someday I'll have

If you just prop lattice up against the screen frame, be aware that some screens will actually pop out if pushed on too hard (many are designed to so to make escaping fire easier). Be sure yours are nice and secure before you trust it too much. Definitely don't just lean it against the screen itsel

He may be dehydrated, which will make the urine more concentrated. Feeding better (no corn or by-products) food will also help with the smell, but it will take at least a week to smell any difference if it's food related. Phaewryn http://ucat.us/domesticcatlinks.html Special Needs Cat Resources

Nina, no cat wandering around that I could see, but there very well could be. But, his piddles are always in the litter box. At first he used the carpet until I switched to clay. Luckily I caught that right away. Now, he's goes very nicely in the box-which is very large. I always buy those storage

You know Melissa, you got me thinking when you mentioned Cassidy staring out the window like that. I wonder if there is a cat coming around that he can see out the window. Is he hitting the litterbox, or is he spraying the walls with his perfume? One of my sister's friends was threatening to th

Thanks Nina! Cassidy is about one year old and he just got neutered last week-so I assume it will be a while before the smell dies down. My husband is not a happy man today since he didn't get much sleep last night what with our baby Smokey running around all night and bringing all kinds of toy
