My cat PEED on my chair.

[heatherrae]

I HATE my cat. I can't even tell you how much. She has peed in my bed, scratched up my furniture, scratched my carpet up, gets her nasty hair EVERYWHERE and you can't vaccuum this stuff up. It's like crazy glue. It is mere guilt that keeps me from dropping her at the pound TODAY.

Yesterday, I came home and sat down on the chair with devin and thought, "Hmmm..why is my butt wet? I must have let a bottle leak on the chair?" Then, I thought about it more and realized that I KNEW I didn't do that. THEN THE SMELL HIT ME!!! Holy crap! I wanted to KILL that cat. So, I took all the cushions off and sprayed them with an enzyme cleaner made just for that purpose and aired them out in the sun for hours. JESUS that is NASTY! Thank goodness this cleaner actually was the bomb and took the smell out, but that is just gross. I want to strangle this cat on a daily basis.

I HATE HER HATE HER HATE HER!

 

[mrplunkey]

Get rid of it. I'd never deal with that. Now that it knows it can get away with crap like that, I bet it happens on a regular basis.

I've had her for about 5 years now. I rescued her from the pound when she was TINY. On the first day I got her home, she peed on a $300 down comforter, and it has been nothing but bullshit since then.

Give her to someone who will love her. Seriously, heather. Animals are messy, it happens. If it makes you hate the animal, you shouldn't be owning it in the first place. Don't bring her to the pound, take her to a rescue agency that has a no kill policy.

 

[Mr. dB]

Have you ever talked to your vet about this?

I'm an animal lover. don't get me wrong, but this animal is DESTRUCTIVE and NASTY, and too dirty to have around a baby. If I leave his door open, she gets in his crib. I've been trying to find her a home for a YEAR now. No lie. No one wants her.

good advice Nef

 

[nefertiti]

By the way, cats are not dumb. Usually when they pee in places they shouldn't, they are sending a message. Or she could be sick somehow. peeing all over the place is not normal behavior.

Take her to a rescue agency. They will foster her as long as she needs to be fostered till they find her someone who will love her.

She did it the first day that I had her and she is and has been in perfect health.

I've had her checked by the vet -- no infections, no problems.


Another thing she does that makes me nuts is she throws all of her litter out of her box. She will literally stand outside her box and dig it all out on the floor.



I'm at my wits end with her. Truly I am.

the first day she was probably scared by a new environment. Then she probably sensed your displeasure and has been uncomfortable since.

Cats peeing out of the litter box is a way that they tell you that a) they are sick, b) they are pissed off and c) you are messy and your entire house is like a litter box.

The litter throw is kinda common, though not usually from outside the box lol. there are tops you can put on it to prevent some of it.

 

[blueta2]

ugh.......your cat is obviously sick, Instead of using your energy to HATE the poor cat, take her/him to the vet to see if the animal is sick

[heatherrae]

She is a SNEAKY little bi-atch. I don't think she hates me. I think the issue is that unless her litter is 100% new, she doesn't want to go in a dirty litter box. So, if she goes in it and I don't immediately clean it, she won't step foot in it again. She will just go on the sofa, chair, bed, wherever. Being that I work 10 hours/day, this is a PROBLEM.

Plus, she is the first cat that I didn't have declawed, and she instead has ripped up everything.

I will never get another indoor cat again in my life.

I loved animals so much as a kid that my relatives called me "Ellie May" but my cats were all OUTSIDE on a farm. I had 13 at one time. I will never have another cat indoors after this cat. They are NASTY. Freaking hair EVERYWHERE. I can vaccuum for an hour and then put devin on the floor and he get hair all over his face and hands. It's GROSS

 

[Raptorex]

Fire her!!!

 

[velvett]

You could borrow our SATAN cat he's about 22lbs and hates all other animals.

I feel your pain, although I thibk your situation is worse.

Ours is a shelter cat with big issues, he always feels he will be without food and every AM as I stumble to the girl's room if I don't put food in his bowl (doesn't matter if it's full or empty) he will puke in all the areas of the house that we could step in it or all over the rugs. At first I thought no it can't be on purpose then a few times if I was in the kicthen making coffee and not paying attention to his food requests he would puke right behind my feet. If I would pet him while he was trying upchuck he would boom stop the need to puke.

Go figure.

 

[blueta2]

Did your cat have a blood test to check her kidneys?
Most cats pee in strange places when they have kidney issues.
I've had MANY cats in the last 14 yrs, I've seen it all. Every time one of my cats started to pee in strange places, it was 99.9% of the time the cat was ill.

 

[heatherrae]

She isn't sick. She's ALWAYS done this. She has been checked out once per year every year and is super healthy. She has a super nice shiny coat, healthy as can be. She's just a crazy little wench.

I think you are reading way too much common sense into her. You would just have to know my evil cat. She is often a bad girl. When I leave her at the vet, they have to sedate her because she tries to kill everyone who touches her...LOL.

Of my kitty peeing outside the box incidents, I had one who had a kidney infection....one who was diabetic....and the third did it because I went on vacation for a month and she was MAD AS HELL at me for it lol.

nope, no cat is crazy to pee anywhere but a box.
A shiney coat means nothing. The 3 cats I had that were dying of aids all looked healthy.

This cat needs a blood test to check for kidney issues and to get checked for cystitus

Cats and cystitis
Inflammation of the bladder (cystitis) is a relatively common problem in the cat. The symptoms include frequent urination, or repeated attempts at urination with passage of only small amounts, plus difficulty and pain on urination, and blood in the urine. Other signs include urination in places other than the litter box (often the bath or shower), or behavioural changes such as depression, aggression or urine spraying.

Cystitis can sometimes result in a blockage of the urethra (the tube connecting the bladder to the outside), particularly in male cats. The bladder then fills, becoming painful, and potentially producing damage to the kidneys. This can be rapidly fatal, within 24 hours. It is vital that any cat that appears unable to urinate is seen urgently by a vet.

What causes it?
The precise cause is unclear, but factors that contribute include stress, a low water intake and the production of urine containing mineral crystals. Unlike in people, cystitis is not usually just an infection, although this occasionally occurs in older cats, especially those with kidney problems. Overweight cats and indoor cats appear to be more prone, possibly because they are less active

Oh yeah, I forgot to even mention the PUKING. She pukes up food when she eats too fast. I pick it up all the time. This I dont' mind nearly as much as the fact that she has decided to bang on my door with her paws at 2 am every morning for the past 2 weeks! She wants me to go look in her food bowl, which is already FULL...lol.

When I don't open the door when she wants in she claws at the carpet. Now the carpet is pulled in the corners of all the doors. There goes my security deposit!

 

[nefertiti]

heather, there are actually kitty boxes that will sense weight and when the kitty leaves the box will self scoop. We had one for a while and it was great. Kept right up with all three of our cats.

You have never seen a bigger animal lover than me. Seriously, I have rescued so many animals that it is crazy. I've NEVER dumped an animal at the pound or just abandoned them, etc. Nor would I. I just can't find anyone who wants her and she is destroying my house.

I believe that infanticide is regularly practised in India. To circumvent that government had begun placing cribs in areas around the country hoping that people will leave the children that they don't want and/or can't care for instead of just killing them. I also know that they have sonogram/abortion packages where the mother makes the doctor show her the dead fetus to make sure that a mistake was not committed by her aborting a son.

... just sayin is all.

Will the local vet take it off your hands?

 

[cindylou]

Heather, I totally can relate to your situation,

my two cats are my first indoor cats. I've had cats my whole life, but they were outdoor cats.

These two cats will be my last. I will not own another pet unless it is a very smart dog.

I have two very good kitties, but even being good kitties, I cannot STAND cat litter in the house. Its NASTY and dirty. The hair, I vacumn every day for every person and animal you have. I have to do it 4 times a week to stay on top of the hair situation. Granted, I have two long haired kitties.

Plus, (lol) being indoor cats, they live forever! When I was a kid, a pet would last 4 years tops! My cats could be around for another 15 years! lol Holy hell!! hahaha

 

[heatherrae]

Will the local vet take it off your hands?

I will try. I haven't had her to the one here in G-town. Last vet was still in B-town, where I lived while I was prego. I'm going to try to post flyers at the vet to see if anyone can take her.

OHHH, that is the only one that I knew about but I didn't realize that they were a no-kill shelter. That is great to know.

Actually, I don't know if I have the heart to take her there. I don't really hate her. I'm just very frustrated with her. I would rather find her a family on my own if I can. I would feel guilty having her stay in a cage forever, if they don't find her a home. Bleh. I hate this guilty conscious of mine.

Devin IS allergic to her, too, though- a problem I failed to mention.

He does have to come first with me.

I'm conflicted.

Can you tell? lol.

 

[heatherrae]

i could never go through with dropping my kitties off at a shelter


cant say that the thought has not crossed my mind though on occasion.

LOL...

I think you know EXACTLY how I feel, then. I'm no bad guy, just a frustrated kitty owner.

She wouldn't be in a cage. They have no main building and all their animals are fostered. Meaning she would live in a home. If devin is allergic you definitely need to drop her off. she will be loved and well cared for.

OK on top of everything else, your son is allergic and you feel guilty dropping this cat at a no-kill shelter because.....?

Just find some random dood and tell him you'll sleep with him if he takes your cat.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

I'm going to go home for lunch and get her.

first some dood would have to want my old kitty...oh yeah, and the cat, too.

 

[heatherrae]

OK on top of everything else, your son is allergic and you feel guilty dropping this cat at a no-kill shelter because.....?

heck if I know. I think I need therapy.

 

[blueta2]

OK so your son is allergic and you feel guilty dropping this cat at a no-kill shelter because.....?

you know what, I never thought I would say this to you, but put a lid on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HR has a conscience, it's what makes the world a better place.
Most people would feel guilty about taking something they love and letting it live in a cage

Jesus woman!

 

[nefertiti]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

I'm going to go home for lunch and get her.

Make sure you specify you are leaving her with the humane society and not the shelter itself. The humane society works through the shelter, but is a separate entity. The shelter is no kill, but it's the humane society that fosters the animals.

 

[Bikini Mod]

heck if I know. I think I need therapy.

You know... that might not be a bad idea.

Not a personal attack... but think about what you just said. Take it from a woman who used to feel so much like you on so many levels, a good therapist will help you to realign your thinking so that you will be much happier.

And Nef - i want to thank you publicly for offering a REAL SOLUTION to this problem. My girls all have cats and sadly they will not be able to come to my home as my husband is deathly allergic. So it will be good to know that we will be able to take their pets to such a place knowing that they will be loved and cared for.

I used to volunteer with a rescue agency when I was in high school and had a lot of experience with these kinds of things. I helped to socialize feral kittens and let me tell you! That takes some kind of patience, love, and willingness to get scratched up. But it was always so rewarding when they would end up in good homes. All of the people I knew who fostered the animals loved each and every one and they made absolutely sure that the animals went to good homes.

Excuse me?

You should really chill. No need to keep pelting me with venom. I've not given you any.

You called me (and people like me) delusional because we value the life a human children more than we value the life of animals. Now you are going off on me because I was pointing out to her that there was something a bit off about her thinking that she was agonizing over the wellbeing of a CAT OVER THE WELL-BEING OF HER CHILD, something that was not made clear in the beginning.

I did not question her consciense. I was pointing out to her that in such a case she need NEVER feel guilty.

 

[Raptorex]

Maybe he will find a more loving family.

I will be sure to pass this information on to my girls so they won't be too heart-broken when the time comes they have to give their pets up. They all know (I don't need to say it) that their pets will be abused, neglected or *disappeareded* like OUR cat did the next day after my girls gave up how he was abusing them over 4 years ago) their pets can't stay behind in Jersey. It will be VERY comforting to them and makes me feel better that I now have a good solution for a problem that I KNEW would cause a tremendous amount of hurt for my children in addition to all the other hurting they are and will be going through.

Thank you Nef.

 

[Bikini Mod]

My point exactly. It is a win-win situation for all involved. What could be better?

I think BM and Blue should get naked and mud wrestle

[blueta2]

I can't post in here anymore, This thread went from bad to worse to ridiculous

HR good luck with the cat and please let me know how she is ok. If you need any more help if she is ill, let me know



NEF = good heart

 

[Smurfy]

Give her to someone who will love her. Seriously, heather. Animals are messy, it happens. If it makes you hate the animal, you shouldn't be owning it in the first place. Don't bring her to the pound, take her to a rescue agency that has a no kill policy.

or put up a free ad on Craigs List

 

[hog#head#cheese]

Gators by my house love cat

 

[calveless wonder]

i hate this thread

cats are great.

you...not so much

 

[calveless wonder]

leave it to BM to talk about killing a cat that's been a member of the family for 5 yearas

 

[heatherrae]

Maybe he will find a more loving family.

Jesus christ, you guys act like I abused the freaking little monster.

Nothing could be further from the truth. don't forget I RESCUED HER from the pound, have fed her, gotten her shots, petted her, doted on her, etc. In return she had RUINED thousands of bucks worth of stuff.

and I'M THE BAD GUY HERE?

SHEESH

There you go.

I just came back from the shelter with her. They said that this information was WRONG. They are a kill shelter and they said right now they only have a 30% adoption rate on cats. SIGH. So, I didn't leave her there. Frick. I do have a conscience, but my son is allergic and she is destroying my house.

I've put ads on craigslist so many times. It doesn't work. Maybe I will try an ad in our paper.

 

[Bikini Mod]

Where did I say that?

I said IF my kids needed food I would have NO HESITATION feeding us the family pet. I can't imagine such a circumstance occuring but if any parent couldn't make such a decision easily then there is something wrong with them. period.

If you would rather let your kid starve, then hey who am I to say don't do it?

LOL

The example is extreme to most of us in the united states but those who live in countries that aren't as abundant in wealth share my point of view.... except Indians. I don't understand being so poor that you would elect to abort a female child because you can afford it (female child = financial drain while male child = security) but wouldn't eat a cow.

Not my family or my life or my child, so I really don't give a fat rat's ass either way.

Oh and btw I would have the same feelings if it were a dog, a goldfish, a cute fuzzy duckling or an ugly crocodile. All animal life = one tier and all human life = a separate tier.

If a body doesn't share that viewpoint, good for them as it does not affect my life one iota so I am trying to understand all the venom and hostility because I think a different way?

My dear lady, you do not have to make excuses to ANYONE especially not on an internet discussion forum inhabited by people who aren't going to come to your home directly and take the cat.

You have a son that is allergic in addition to the fact that this animal that you have been keeping alive for YEARS is destroying your home.

Again, will the local vet take the pet off your hands?

I will ask, but I doubt it. They will probably put up a flyer for me, though.

I don't get everyone's hostility toward me, either. It isn't like a beat the damn animal. I did RESCUE her butt from the shelter afterall, or she would have been dead years ago.

I'll look around some more....sorry about that. I did specify the humane society over the shelter, but I'm not sure what difference that makes.

That's okay. They said that they don't know of any no-kill shelters in Ky. She said it "just isn't feasible." She said that there used to be one in Frankfort, but that they are stringent about the requirements of what animals they would take. It was very hard to get an animal in there. SIGH. She didn't think that they even exist anymore.
