The place where reality meets I take it back.

I have 5 cats. I cant stand any of them. If you have a pet, you know exactly what I mean. You love them like you love your children, they are your children, but they drive you up the wall.

Our five are:

Sebastian: Oldest Male, dominate, meows at 4 am and runs if you open your door, big big cat. Wishes he was outdoors. We adopted him from the human society when we were in college. This was the beginning of the end for my DH..he should have known we were getting married after we adopted a pet together.

Little Kitty: Little kitty came into our house from a newspaper ad on a ‘wild kitty caught’ back in college. Bastian needed a friend so we adopted this cat. He is skittish even after 10 years so the wild never left him. He is about a year younger then Sebastian. He pisses on my piles of laundry if they are clean. I could kill him. He loves chris to death and I think he is jealous.

Napolean: He is our orange big fat baby. He was a kitten when we found him abandoned in a parking lot. I lured him into a cage with my Chinese food and once I got him home and gave him a bath, discovered he was orange, not brown. Our most loving cat.

Mei Sei May: We adopted Mei Sei 8 years ago on our first military tour. She was a part of an abused animal network and removed from an abusive home. She had a rough life before us. She spent the first 2 years of our family UNDER our bed-literally. She spent the next 5 years in our bedroom ONLY.  We used to have to fight over who got to snuggle with my DH. This year she finally moved into the rest of the house. She is 16 years old and our oldest cat.

Paprika- We adopted her from a trailer park of 100 kittens and cats roaming. She is our youngest and is not yet a year old. She is constantly jumping on the other cats and its hysterical.

My post is about Mei Sei. Several months ago, out of the blue, she started peeing IN FRONT of the litter box. So we moved it, got her a new one,  whatever we could do…eventually put in a cat door to put it in the garage…no matter what we did, she still continued to pee on the floor in the laundry room. If she bothers getting into the litter box at all, she turns around and pees OUT of it. She did this recently in the upstairs litter box and now I have a big pee spot on the floor in my guest room I am trying to figure out how to get up.

I just discovered she has been peeing on the comforters in the guest room as well. She is very old, like I mentioned before she was prior abused, and I think she has just had a rough life in general from all of it.

The peeing thing is driving us BATTY. We clean up cat pee off the floor 5-6 times a day. Sometimes poop off the floor.

I keep threatening to put her down or kill her myself.

But recently she has lost a lot of weight. You can feel her bones through her skin and she is barely eating.

We think she may be dying.

Tomorrow I have an appt with the vet and I really don’t want to put her down if that is the case. I just want her to get better.

Sigh.
