my pain in the butt cat

In a cat's eye, all things belong to cats.
- English proverb

my $500 cat is at it again.  if my husband didn't love the boy so much he'd surely be out on his hind end or at least posted in the newspaper with the rest of the pets up for adoption.  seems mr newton thinks it's ok to pee on whatever he feels like.  i read online that he is looking for something soft and that seems to be what he is using.  my dirty towels laying in front of the washer, my daughter's bedding she used when she camped out on the computer room floor with her friends.  eh gawd haven't i gone through enough pain for this animal???   i also read (thank the Gods for the internet and search engines) that cats do not like the smell of citrus.  so it's off to by some citrus cleaners to clean the pee spots.  i've changed & scrubbed the littler boxes.  i also have closed the doors to the room he likes to use ... AND now when i am not around to watch over the big pain i have been locking him in the cat bathroom.  GOD this animal is a bad boy!  a few years back i had this problem with him and the bathroom jail worked then...it just wasn't so bad back then.  the cat went from not being able to pee to being able to pee way too much.  :::sigh:::  me and my big stupid heart...oh well, i shall win this battle and make my pet once more the lovable litter box going cat i once loved and enjoyed. 

such a wonderful way to spend a lovely, still hot and humid even after the weatherman said it would cool of saturday afternoon. 

otherwise i spent the day laying around the house not doing anything but eat, nap and eat somemore....oh throw in some mindless tv.

this after spending yesterday watching the grandkids...which i enjoyed...time to go back to what i was doing...a whole lot of nothing!

I hope he doesn't have a pee infection. There isn't another male he is competing with, is there?

I like the English Proberb. I use to buy something called Four Paws that was so good for cat urine. Don't know if they still make it or not. My cat lives outside and in the garage since John is allergic. Paula

I have a wonderful cat that has the same problem.  I sympathize with you.  It is a difficult habit to break.  I am still working with my cat.  Good Luck!

I know what you mean it's a pain in the butt when animals don't want to do what we want them to do. I have one that liked to go on the rug in frount of the toilet. I solved the problem by removing the rug. Heaven for bid using the litter box , it's in the same room.

Rose,when I read this I am glad I can't have pets.Your cat cost more then $500 because of all the vets fees.You must love your pets honey,and if anyone can do something to get him on the right track,you can.
Hope that you enjoy this day.
Love
Mickie
