Felispray and my house of cats.

Well, it turns out the felispray gives me asthma. I cleaned pee off of the fridge, and near the garbage can and washed a pair of flipflops that had pee all over them. I cleaned up some other spots- last night, the orange couch again, for instance. It is just Jake at this point. I don't think it's any of the other cats. I am seriously contemplating putting him on prozac.

More Pee and some barf

I found some interesting pee- on this radiator in the living room where jake used to pee all the time because he would sit on it and look out the window and see this other cat who could still get into our yard (we put up some serious fence) and then he would pee all over the radiator. So it's been a while since he peed there. (BTW- cat pee on radiator in summer- bad. Cat pee on radiator in winter- I WANT TO DIE _ HELP! I scrubbed it like crazy with Nature's Miracle. Toby then threw up twice- I cleaned that up.

Where, or where, could the cat pee be? Oh, where o where could it BE?

I am washing another set of curtains. I mopped around certain areas that I know they like to pee on. I cleaned the window to the downstairs door and the kitchen door. I lit candles and put them in the fireplaces, because for some insane reason, the fireplace area and their fire screens are favorite pee places.

I was away all weekend and came home to a house that stinks of cat pee

I have done more research and await my box of Feliway spray, diffusers and cleaners. I have researched things like "Crating and retraining" and prozac for cats. One day at a time, my friends. More very soon on the cat pee wars and all of the great info that I am gathering to help me in my fight. In the meantime, read this endlessly fascinating cat pee discussion! It's been super interesting to me:

cat faeries

Is that how you spell it? I ordered hundreds of dollars of shit from their website to help me with my problem.They have this spray that is a happy pheremone from the cheeks of cats that you spray on the bad pheremone, the pee. And then your cats stop peeing? Please Lord, let it work. And I ordered their diffusers, too, which you plug into the wall and they do something to make your cat not pee. And I ordered a clean up spray that claims it's the best. And I ordered a homeopathic medicine called something like "multiple cat happy formula". I can't wait for it to come. HOPE! HOPE!

there was pee on the red loveseat in the boys' room

It smelled really badly in the boys's room. I saw a big wet spot on the red loveseat and sprayed in with "nature's miracle", really soaked the spot with tons of that stuff. But I did not have the energy to scrub and then rinse and scrub. I just sprayed. Tomorrow, I won't be as tired so will do lots of pee cleaning.

I found the hidden cat pee downstairs

Yesterday, I smelled new pee and it was very strong smelling. Today, a new babysitter is coming so I did some serious pee searching. They was a bunch of pee next to the piano, where we had some extra shelves stacked on the ground. Lots of stinky pee there. I guess they've been at that place for a while. So I sprayed "Nature's Miracle" all over it. Also, I am washing the curtains in the dining room as we speak. Man, they stunk. And I removed the fireplace grill and set it in the backyard. It was stained orangy with tons of cat pee.

Lord help me. I also mopped - smells like mop soap a bit. AND I lit two very strong smelling candles- one is called Tocca. Nice. And I have the fan going in the kitchen- keeps the air circulating.

Toby peed right in front of me

Yesterday, I was sitting at the computer and Toby peed on the dining room curtains and all over the wall and floor and electrical outlet. I screamed at him and put him in the litter box and he was sheepish and ran off. Then I cleaned up all the pee but I have yet to take the curtains down and wash them.

I cleaned up cat pee today

I have a few things I use to clean up cat pee. One is "stinky pet spray". It helps. I forget the other name of the cleaner thingy I used. I sprayed and I sprayed and I sprayed. Then I scrubbed and scrubbed and scrubbed. This was on the orange couch. And you know what? It helped a little bit. But man, my house stinks.
