Cat question

[trent4]

For those that have cats or know something about cats.....

I have one that I think is jealous of my daughter....he wets on her stuff.
He has been fixed but for whatever reason whenever he feels like it he does it.

He is my favorite otherwise I would have already kicked him out!

I wondered if anyone else has ever had this problem and if so what did you do?

You could get rid of your daughter. :)



:D

[CC1]

Considering that cat pee is the absolute worst of all pet urine I would have a serious talk with him and if he doesn't stop it would be the no kill shelter for him!!!!! (or life as an outside cat if your climate is good enough)

The best thing to do would be to get rid of it and replace it with one of the 15 puppies in my upstairs bathroom that were worn about a week ago!

[Cindy]

Does the cat only do it in your daughter's room, or anywhere in the house her stuff is?

I have had talks with him...rubbed his nose in it and nothing seems to work.
I have thought about putting him outside but right now it is too cold.

My kids would love to have a dog but then I would have to get rid of my husband cause he is allergic to them.:)

...the obvious answer.

[trent4]

Only in her room.

He has another favorite spot but I keep something there so now he doesn't wet there.

What kind of puppies?

[trent4]

...the obvious answer.

I wasn't sure how to respond....she is only 6 so I think I will keep her at least until she becomes a teenager then that might be an option. :)

[pastorswife]

Once a cat start using something other than the litter box...you will never break it from it.
If you plan on keeping it in the house...The best thing is to try to get you daughter to keep her things up and behind a closed door.

[Hoovie]

Catshew "chicken" is an excellent dish.

nuff said.

[Cindy]

Sorry, if it was a dog you could put up one of those kiddy gates to keep him out. I have heard of dogs doing that also.

[Mrs. LPW]

:toofunny

Of course we're just being stupid... I'm not a cat person so I can't relate, but I am a mom.
What kind of dogs do you have?

[Mrs. LPW]

You know they eat Cat in Korea...

[pastorswife]

Have you ever heard the song
There's a cat in the kettle at the peaking Moon a place I eat every day at noon ; )

he doesn't do it all the time. it's like he gets mad and then does it.
he can go weeks without doing it. that is why it is confusing.

[Ron]

Cast the Jealous spirit out of it!:hypercoffee


Seriously, when Cats get like this it is either get rid of it, or put it down.

Sorry.

[Hoovie]

You know they eat Cat in Korea...

And America - several restruants have been busted for serving them.

It's like anything else - it's all in how they are fixed. I like them on the rotisserie with an apple in the mouth...

Come to think of it there was something funny about the last somosa I ate.

[simplyme]

Don't you know that cats pee on stuff to mark their territory AND or mark something that they CLAIM to be "theirs" alone? Seriously I've even had one back up to me, and pee on my blouse :reaction just because he LIKED me?
:runhills

We have had, and still have several cats I guess I'm now an 'expert' on them; and when they get to a point of no return,
like just recently I put TIGER out in the garage with RED even though they don't get along, 'cause evidently he {TIGER} has matured to the "reproducing" mode and the litter sooo STUNK like a SKUNK..{it hadn't been THAT bad before} it affected the whole house, I couldn't stand it anymore, [he is on the list to get neutered], :D
you cannot change them you just have to readjust things.

Putting your cat OUT is best, seriously 'cause they are not prone to being told what to do or not do., very stubborn beasts., they just don't understand human ways, they are just being what they are - CATS., BUT if its too cold outside, perhaps temporarily in the garage [if you have one] only? [run a small heater if you have one]

Cats are cute at times, but mostly strong-willed, narcissistic creatures., and I strongly believe that they are happier as GOD meant them to be., outdoors., its in their nature to stalk, hunt, run, climb, play and things that they can't do as readily (and without bothering humans) inside. I've seen the difference in mine as they morph from inside cats to outside cats.

Worn? Are they warm? What sizes do they come in? Are the an all-weather type of puppy or just something for colder climates?

[TrmptPraise]

I love cats.....they taste like chicken!:bliss

He's marking your Daughter as his territory, once they start that spraying it's hard to stop it.

Simple Green cleans it up pretty good.

[MissBrattified]

Keep the door to her room closed. ;)

This is why we only have GIRL cats.

I had to give mine away. I could not break him of doing that. He was fine until I brought the dogs in that was here first.

Good luck.

Sis. Trent. Good to see you posting. I used to have a cat. She was nice when in heat, but other wise she was meaner than a rattle snake. My tough bro-in-law called her satan. Which the name satan fit aptly. But she would wet on everything that was not mine she loved me. Though she did attack me a couple of times she was my cat. I had to give her up when we found that we were having a child. It was that or I had to shoot her, NOT REALLY!!

I have been told to get a water gun and shoot the cat everytime she/he goes to wet, mess or scratch on anything. If help us, but it took a Super Soaker 5000 or something to teach our satan umm I mean cat.

OHHHH, That there's a "Devil" eating that food!!:club

[Ferd]

I have a cat. he almost died the other day.

he escaped and when I went out to get him, he tried to bite me.

Good think I know his tricks. had he broken my skin, I would have put a hole in his...hot lead.

[Ferd]

Trent, let me share a little story about my great grandfather.

Many years ago, our family owned thousands of head of sheep on open range (back before barbed wire fences.)

Stray Dogs would from time to time find there way into the area and could really play havoc on the herds.

One day, a stray showed up in my great grandfather’s yard.

Grandpa Wellborn caught the dog and tied a wire around its neck.

The last thing that anyone heard was grandpa walking the dog back behind the barn with his .44 pistol in hand saying

“Here pup, I’m going to make a good dog out of you!”

thats the ticket , take care of business, lol,dt

It may even be something like this, as per my husbands WISDOM -
The cat may get mad when he doesn't get ENOUGH attention ( they can be sooooo demanding ) and gets back at her, this way., we've seen this happen as well, we've had one poop right in the middle of the bed, as a "get back atcha" strategy, and once they start doin this its really hard to break them of it, just get that smell OUT as soon as possible, or it'll be back to that same or nearly spot to do it again and again.
Maybe that tip about the GREEN stuff will help, haven't tried that one yet, but try Natures Miracle available at pet stores that works OK., but nothing short of enzymes treatment will get it out of carpet, 'cause the pad must be removed, and then the concerete or wood under it must be treated as well.
CATS can be GROSS! Their spray is akin to skunks, nearly impossible to get rid of permanently. *sigh*

Another reason for keeping them outdoors if at all possible, if inside use the best cat litter you can get., I have never let my cats roam all through the house either I keep bedroom and bathroom doors closed., only kitchen, and living rm and den.

All 3 of our cats are "fixed" and have been for as long as we have had them.

This is something that just started that is why I don't understand it.

I found something on line that I can get at PetSmart so I think I am going to get that and try it.
It is called Feliway....there is a plug in that I think I will get and put in my daughter's room.

Thanks for your input.

I wondered about the Natures Miracle stuff.
We don't have carpet but we have had to throw some rugs away.
We have hardwood and tile floors.
I wish I had a room that I could lock them up in....I have thought about shutting her door when we leave.

[commonsense]

We have our third cat. So far he's been good, but he is allowed to go outside and that helps get rid of his excess energy.
Our 2nd cat ( lived 19 yrs) didn't like our son. He would go in his room and pee on his clothes; nothing else. It was very annoying but we felt our son shouldn't have left his clothes on the floor . The cat knew he was being bad .

[Hoovie]

As usual, China has the answer to the cat question.

that is what I was gonna say....keep the door closed....maybe turn the cat into an outdoors cat (where I believe they all belong anyways, not in the house)

Hardwood?? :reaction

LOL! Maybe he doesn't do this but once they pee on the wood, that 'stain' won't come out., we've redone wood floors and no matter how much you sand, it goes down deep.
I am glad most of our house is tile, it is the best thing (or vinyl flooring) if you're gonna have indoor pets., oh and no "fabric" furniture, ours are leather..although one cat did ruin our recliner with his claws.
Even when fixed some males will still be able to spray., one of ours does., its better to get them neutered while very young., if possible.

Waaaay too complicated!

Just dump the cats.

This is a good point--the younger they are neutered the better, before the spraying instinct has a chance to kick in. Still, call me gender biased, but this is why we always have GIRL cats.

[SOUNWORTHY]

I feel for you. My cat never comes inside. If it just goes in your daughters room, try putting some moth balls in the room. We lived in a mobile home park years ago and the owner loved cats. We kept moth balls under the mobile home and it seemed to work. As soon as it gets warm put it out and it will grow a coat to protect it in the winter when the time comes.
