He's my first cat. I have 4. For the past 3 weeks now his behaviour has become really troublesome. He has started pooping on the carpet floot on the section between the 2 staircases between the first and second floor. For the past year now he's been peeing there too and a few other places as well. I have 3 litter boxes in the house, one at each level. The other 3 cats go in the boxes but he's a problem. He's declawed and operated the other 3 and not declawed and the yougest is not yet operated. He's 5 the other 2 are 1 1|2 and the yougest is 7 months. They all go outside as they please.
Any suggestions$ Any cat lovers here at Toms
I take it you bleach the areas that he poops in every time you clear it up?
I am a cat lover, my cat brought two kittens home a couple of weeks ago, they are gorgeous a ginger tom and a tabby queen. Ask AV how cute they are.
skin it alive in front of the others to teach them a lesson.
At the risk of sounding like a right wus.. Cute as hell.
I'll have to find out how to post a pic of them. Kittens are cute for sure. My pooper is black and white with a serious look all the time. The other 3 are "Garfield" lookalikes.
He's getting old and pissed off from something.
Pour white vinegar on the spot where they piss and poo, blot it with a towel, paper towels, something.
That removes the scents so dogs and cats won't smell it. Both animals tend to use the same spots because of the smell.

I plan on taking the carpet off on that 6' X 4' spot and just paint the wood underfloor. After that i'll try putting a fourth litter box which could be just for him. The thing is: will the others use that box also and what then. Someone told me that you need to have as many litter boxes as you have cats.
yeah vinegar could be a good idea for the other places
no one likes a sour puss...hi hi
Two pussies on a work bench..... [snicker]
*too obvious*
but only one of them is female, at least that proves it, you have to be gay to like Coors

Are you on happy pills or something?
I find your postings rather erratic (spelling) and much lighter than they were before. Personally I prefer the more hippy types of posts (always good for a laugh) but when I saw your latest posting spree coming in, my first thought was that someone else hacked your account. You sure you're still the same Pike?

1. I hate cats, so I like the "skin it alive and make an example of it" answer. I'd never do something like that, but I'd never let a cat in my house. Poo on them!
2. If you do paint the floor, you will need to prime it first with an oil-based primer (such as Kilz). A quart will do you fine. Follow the directions, make sure you have good ventilation, and plan on throwing away the brush or roller. A latex-based primer / paint won't seal in the odors, but the oil-based will. I'd go two coats to be safe.
3. DEATH TO PUSSIES!

So you like dead pussies? You start to sound like the WingDing if you ask me...
@ Jef
I hope Brown comes through for me tomorrow..... Ordered parts for 2 machines yesterday morning @ NewEgg.... The stuff went out yesterday afternoon.... Monitors coming from TN, the rest is coming from NJ.... We are a UPS hub at the airport, so I usually get stuff real fast..... I really don't want to wait until Monday.... Go Brown!!!!
@ BigMacDaddy - Pussies as in cats or guys acting like girls. I like my female to be quite alive, thank you very much.
@ RC - I don't remember your address, so I'll use Jackson. I remember you lived west of Detroit. It looks like both TN and NJ are two days ground for you, so if they did actually ship out yesterday, you will have them tomorrow. We are quite good at hitting our commitment dates, so if NewEgg got it to us in time, you should be fine. *I'd be one day to your house via ground... =o)
It always cracks me up when I order stuff and people say "Well, we have no idea how long UPS takes, but I'd guess it will be two or three weeks." I actually had someone tell me that! I was like "That's funny, because UPS can get to my house in 4 days or less from about 95% of the lower 48 states. If it takes two or three weeks, I know it's not their fault."
Looking at the map, Texas is strange for me... North / Central / East TX is 2 days, and the west end is 4 days. There's actually a spot where it's 2 days, then if you go further away from me, it goes to 4, then it goes back down to three as you get farther away...
Seattle is 4 days, but central Idaho is 5 days. The entire east coast (other than the tip of Maine) is 3 days or less.
I'm in Lansing....
UPS always seems fast to me here... Like I said though, they have a couple big UPS jet cargo planes that are based at the airport.... I seem to get faster service that way....
Well, if you don't order it air, they won't get on the planes.
Hell, even if you ordered those Second Day Air, they'd still likely go ground. We only put stuff on planes if we have to. If you order it 2 Day Air, and we can put it on a trailer and get it to you in two days, it won't get on a plane.

I hadn't thought about that....good advice
Cat problem.
We have something similar. One of our cats is getting fatter and having trouble getting into the litterbox house. That and she is being chased by the other when she comes out. Not something she really likes.
So she has started pissingin the hall. About 5 times now in 2 months.
Things we were told to do:
1. Dry up the piss (obviously).
2. Use an enzymatic cleaner for the piss smell. We found a good one that seems to work better than vinegar, alcohol, detergent or anything else. I will have to look for the brand name when I get home.
3. Place a sheet of tin foil on the stair/area where he is doing this. Cats do not like the feel of that and will not step on it.
4. Try moving the litterbox to the area (stairs would be hard to do). If they use it, gradually move it away from the area until you get it in a good spot. Hopefully the cat will keep pissing/crapping there.
Hope this helps!
This probably has been said before, but I'm not doing the prereading (time constraints) so...
Based on the numerous cats that I've been allowed to live with (Siamese, Maine Coon, Persian-crosses, Norwegian Forest and several randoms) they will repeatedly use a spot that's already been used. The only way to solve this behaviour is to thoroughly clean the area, bleach it, and if it's carpeted/wooden floor, replace the affected area. Otherwise they return to that place.
Mind you, all of my cats have been very good about doing their thing outside. Only time I've had this problem is if they're pissed about something or the weather is consistently wet. Cape winters, you get that for about two months of the year.
Deadcat (a vicious bloody-minded half-Persian and my current little puddy-tat) used to indicate her disapproval of my former girlfriend in this manner as well. And the one before that, now I come to think of it...
Get a large savage dog, end of cat problem.
You don't want to know what my former next-door neighbour's mutt looked like after Fatty was done with it. And that dog was large, and very vicious.
Hole appeared in the fence, dog enlarged the hole in its efforts at getting at the cat that had been taunting it for two years, and dog proceeded to get torn apart - after going back through the hole twice as fast as it came through.
We had to get the vet out to convince the schmuck that, yes, a 7KG Siamese fatally tore his prize-winning mutt apart. The cat got under the dog, held on with his front paws, bit the dog's throat out and kicked with his hind legs, ripping it's intestines out/apart.
Same cat later went on to attack some a-hole who attempted to break in. Not fatally, sadly, but inflicted so much harm that the bastard was virtually unrecognisable as being human. Apart from the smell, that is...
I'd have killed that cat, you and any relatives I could find on general principal.
Mugz, funny thing. We had kamakazi-Golden Retrievers when I was living at home. they always used to pin the cats down and "mousse" them (groom them to a spiky dog-saliva chic!).
One cat did not like it, so he decided to show his mettle by swatting at her (female dog).
He managed to catch the dog mid-swing. His claw got caught in the dogs chest and the dog jumped back (no yelp). The cat got dragged along with the dog.
She them pinned him to the floor and groomed him.
I can see where this scenario would be different depending on the feral nature of the cat or ferocity of the dog, but it was funny as hell to see at the time!
that's class!
I am SO dissapointed in you TV!!!!!
You had a story about a bitch licking pussy and you let it go?
>sigh<
Sometimes the intelligent thing is to let things go dear NH
*throws left overs to the Wingding*
...*ravenous munching sounds*...
*ignoring the messy by-play*
Unfortunately, I happen to only accept dogs over 65cm at the shoulder, dislike dogs under 65cm at the shoulder, thoroughly despise mutts under 45cm at the shoulder, and 30cm or less I consider as being loud, untrainable cat food.
I don't mind dogs, provided they're trained, calm and clean. Not these bloody filthy, aggressive, noisy things that everyone seems to go in for these days. Those aren't dogs, those are penile supplements, like the great big truck to go to work in or the [insert other relevant keep-up-with-Joneses abominations here].
'nuff rant.
Tore up the carpet yesterday and "YUK" lots of cat piss under there. Let it dry up and put a fouth cat litter box there. He went in it right that afternoon. Now we'll have to wait and see if he keeps going there rather than the carpets.

I assume that you know they declaw them by cutting off the last knuckle. If you did that to me I would sh!t and piss all over your house too.
| ninjahedge wrote : One of our cats is getting fatter ... |
If you cat is getting a lot fatter and is lethargic you might want to test it for diabetes.
We adopted him from a shelter, he was already declawed.
My girlfriend has four, was five. She had them all declawed before she understood what that meant.
Good point, but she seems to be getting the swagger-paunch, not all-over fat.
That and she still chases around, and is chased by the other.
So she is not obese yet, but is certainly not a svelte pussy anymore!
@Mugz - I like dogs you cant kill with a frisbee or tennis ball.
Without trying really hard that is......
My sister has a little dog (Japanese Chin / Poodle mix). It's a small dog, but fearless. It's quite a lot of fun. I bring it home on occasion to visit with us for a day or two, but it's all I can take of the dog.
I'll take my lab / chow mix any day.
I have syphillis.
Among other things...
Such is the delight of a Wingding. They're a great Christmas gift.
To your enemies...
Speaking of which, I'd like to send a gross to NH. Can I get a few discounts?
Only in return for hand relief.
I have a blue coffee mug.
...*volunteers Riser for Wingy's hand shandy*...
...*awaits grim knuckle shuffle*...
But it is necessary to have them sterilised
spekaing of riser, i have not seen him post lately, where is he, hiding in a toilet?
No doubt.
