Timely topic.... I’ve got 2 girl cats who are unaware that their lives are in jeopardy right now.
You see, they pee all over the house and I’m so tired of it.
The floors in my 1840 home are about ruined, 2 queen beds have gone, 1 love seat, dining chairs. Rugs? Can’t keep ‘em. Pillows and blankets, lots of other things destroyed, too.
No cat trees or toys, as they get peed on immediately.
Don’t leave a box open, a sock on the floor or a piece of paper - all targets. My house is stinking of cat pee.
The little cat is an inbred Siamese who has peed all over since birth - short bus kitty, aye?
The other cat was my daughter’s. She pees when she’s mad, then the other one has to pee over that, and off we go.
Yep, tried lots of things. I gave up my herb room to have 5 litter boxes with a variety of litters. They use these daily, no problems.
They’ve been on kitty Prozac, tested for UTI’s and whatever else, food changes, crating, separating them - all to no avail. Cat pee odor removers don’t work very well, either.
The shame of it is that they’re both very sweet cats. Loving and snuggly, just adorable wee beasties. But hubby and I are tired of living in a 2300 SF potty box.
I’ve a call in to our vet - 6th call in a year - to discuss their fate. Can’t see leaving them lingering in a shelter and can’t live with them anymore. We live near a busy road so making them outside cats is not a good idea. Yep, we’re talking about putting them down, which is not easy to even think about, but we’re disgusted with living like this.
Aside from these 2, we have a man cat who is wonderful and pees only in his box. I think he’d die of shame to do otherwise. Hates to be picked up but will sit on your lap for hours. The best of a cat.
Our other resident is a new guy - 3-6 year old rescue dog, black lab and great dane if our guesses are right. Sweet as anything and I love him. He won’t poop in the fenced yard - he must be walked and his 5 pound burritos (3 per walk) removed by hand.
I’ve had cats and dogs most of my life - cats ALL of my life. Love them all but prefer doggies - they make my heart very glad.
My heart pees for you.
My heart pees for you.
Potential ‘Cat From Hell’ candidates...there IS a reason; you just haven’t figured it out yet. :-(
Bob the dog knew we didn’t like scooping so he would back up into a bush and hike his leg like he was peeing and deposit his load.
My mother used to use a baking soda & water paste to remove the smell. Can’t remember if that worked.
White vinegar mixed in with the soap and water helps.
I’ve got a similar problem, although they do pee on almost everything in my basement. I’ve got 9 cat pans positioned all over, not sure if some are missing on purpose, or just missing. My husband bought Nature’s Miracle, and not sure if that works, cause I’m still cleaning up every day. If I figure out who’s doing it, I swear I’m going to throw them out the door. We live rural, woods, they can fend for themselves. Not a high traffic area, just raccoons and foxes to deal with...
Back here to add the couch to the list of things
ruined by 2 cats that don’t weigh 10 pounds put together.
Searching all day for the source, I just found the end
of the couch, the pillows, cushions and the blankets stacked there,
soaked - must have been at for a few days.
They gone. They gone tomorrow.
