Caturday!

I've been told citrus keeps them away. A few products I've used for my cats have all been citrus based. Oranges mostly mixed with lemon. They don't like it, it would seem .

I've tried this too Sadie, but they were ok with it. Peppermint essential oils they hate.

Feliway is also useful if its stress related and maybe that's why the kitties doing it. It chills them out. I've also found washing an area with biological washing powder, drying it and wiping over with the peppermint oil puts them off.

My oldest cat Joe (big 8kg bruiser) loves bleach - its like a drug to him, goes off his heid on it haha. So don't clean anything cat related with bleach. Stardrops is a good household cleaner too for cat related things etc.

This stuff is nasty, and works for only a while, but it's sometimes enough to give them the message.

Don't spray it when the cats are in the room though, or they'll figure out the magic.

Thanks Felix, I'll have to check that out.

Thanks for the tips Kate. I honestly don't know if its stress related or not - but as she's now 18 years old its probably just incontinence. The funny thing is she never peed inside until I put ceramic floor tiles down in the kitchen. I've tiled the hall and the back passage (fnarr fnar) as well but she's never pissed on them. Cats are just weird fuckers I suppose...
 
Old-age rebellion to something new, which might be emitting horrible smells that we don't notice. The tile glue or the tiles themselves, or fuck knows what.

I'd try the Feliway atomiser in a more appropriate place.

Our big boy Joe's been at it too but has the decency to use the bath (easier to clean) but he has a urinary tract infection, so there's some blood in the pee and the rim's of his eyes are a wee bit red. Maybe the kitties are not well - go to the vets. We get Metacam and it really helps.

It can be stress related or just a tendency to have this UTI kinda thing as they age. Be kind to him, he may be not well, poor thing.

And Feliaway - get it too.

Vets - yep :(
 
Vets nope. Every single time I have taken one of our cats to see a vet (and I've tried many) all they do is charge 50 quid for a 'consultation' (how the fuck can you 'consult' an animal?) and an antibiotic injection. Ime Vets are even worse than GPs for snap diagnoses and drug pushing. They can get to fuck.
 
We're taking Joe to the vets tomorrow. The last time it was £57.84 and that included another powder, injection and the consultation was about £24ish. I love my old boy too much, Id rather give up something to make sure he is well and happy. The meds we got the last time lasted over and hence we've been able to treat today to tide him over. Wee soul is on our bed, padding and sucking at a fluffy blanket end. Looks a bit more comfortable.

I don't mean to go on but you have responsibilities if you take an animal on.
 
Damnit....seems I missed Caturday...then again I didn't know about this thread..

18 is very impressive! No cancers or anything?

The cat that had adopted us disappeared for a day but announced his arrival this morning by jumping in the bathroom window and knocking a bottle of Shloer from the top of the cistern. He then proceeded to meow victoriously, like the champion he is.
