I tried everything.
I tried love.
I tried patience.
I tried plugins.
I tried treats.
I tried locking him up in the garage to “think about what he did”.
I brought him to the dr.
The dr called him “the spawn of Satan”.
I kid you not.
Yesterday when the Dr suggested meds, my DH said no. No, we want alternative methods. No meds!!
Today we changed our minds.
This morning at 6am, I was awakened to the sounds of a cat yelling outside my door. When I didn’t rush to let him in, all went silent. Then I heard the tell tale sign of scratching the walls. I jumped up and opened the door in time to see the flash of a tail heading down the stairs. At my feet was a pile of cat urine.
That little doodoo-head of a cat pissed at my door. Again.
Then when we got up, we could smell poop. We couldn’t find it. We blamed it on the fishtank. There I was, cleaning out the fishtank at 7:30am. Poor fish. Then DH went to put charlottes shoes on. Sebastian had pooped in Charlotte’s shoes.
So we relented and I went back to the vet this am. The doctor wrote up a prescription for Kitty Prozac. I think they actually felt bad for me. They said he can be on it for a lifetime if it ‘helps’.
Something better help because otherwise my foot is going to go through his throat.

Unfortunately I have a cat that can be a pain in my bootie too. I have to buy these difusers that plug in like a scented plug in. It is supposed to make him “Happy”. I really don’t care if he is happy or not. As long as he is not peeing on my floor I will do just about anything. I would give you the name of it, but it is not on the device and I don’t have the box, but I do get it at the Vet’s office. It is kinda expensive though but hey it’s either that or stepping in cat pee. And it smells really bad.
Good Luck with your kitty and please don’t put your foot through his throat, it will make a big bloody mess:(
I didn’t know this type of help existed for cats. During my first pregnancy our cat peed on everything in site and then ran away. Thank goodness he ran away before the baby was born.
But we had to trash pillows, papers, bags, all kinds of pee soaked goodies.
