    An Olivia Update :(

    Livvy is still peeing and pooping in our apartment. Our couch is ruined and we'll have to re-upholster the chairs for our dining table.

    We've now tried everything at this point. She now resides in our outdoor enclosure from the moment I feed the furkids in the morning until we go to bed at night. Thankfully, she LOVES it out there. She runs out before I can get the screen opened and at night, David has to go in and carry her inside.

    Our new plan is to keep her outside at all times. Even with her on her kitty anti-anxiety meds and being outside for what, 14 hours a day, we are waking up to poop on our couch and anything else that isn't carpet or table.

    I need ideas on how to keep her warm at night. She has two small cat trees in there, 1 large lounge type bed, 1 cat tent, 1 orthopedic bed and a "carpet condom" on a chair for her to lay on/in. I want to put a fleece blanket out there for warmth, but I'd like more ideas.

    In the mean time, we're trying to find a good home for her. While she may enjoy her time in her little outdoor apartment, she deserves someone to cherish her.

    Pictures of the Run

    These are older pictures, but it looks like this, without plants (Noel ate them all...) and with a thick tarp covering the top...

    That enclosure looks great - a real kitty hotel! Don't you get cat "electric blankets" or heated beds? How cold does it get out there at night?

    Thanks Kay for my great sig & avatar!!!

    That is such a great idea!!!! I"ll have to check that out, thank you!!!

    It doesn't get very cold in the Spring/Summer. I guess around 50-60 at night in the spring, much warmer in the summer. I keep ice water out there for her in the day as well as a frozen gallon of water to lick/lay against in case it gets hot.

    I am sorry to hear Olivia's problem hasn't improved

    Have you got her on the same meds as Jen uses on Jim & Sterling ?

    It looks very nice out there. You could put a couple of fluffy fleece blankets in the tent enclosure and she should be fine.

    Olivia has a wonderful place and she seems very happy there.

    I highly recommend the Snuggle Safe product for warmth
    http://shop.petmarket.com/snugsafmiche.html

    You nuke it in the microwave for up to 4 minutes and put it under her blankie and it stays warm for up to 12 hours.

    What more could Princess Olivia want?
    Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.

    Kelly, I'm so sorry to hear that Olivia's problem has not gotten better, however here are a few ideas for keeping her warm....


    you could try the heated cat cup from drsfostersmith.com
    http://www.drsfostersmith.com/produc...69&N=2002+2008

    they also have this a heated kitty pad http://www.drsfostersmith.com/produc...36&N=2002+2008

    or what I did in the winter for my RB Cleo was to get a small dog house from Wal-Mart and line it with hay and cheap blankets. The hay works as insulation and the blanket just is something softer than the hay to sleep on. I have also used cheap down comforters to line the dog house with or even flannel sheets. I hope this gives you some ideas. I wish you the best with Olivia. --- Meg

    Great ideas!!!!

    I'm going to shop around for a small dogloo to put out there. I think I'll add one of those heating thingys to it so she'll be protected and warm.

    Thanks so much everyone, I feel so much better with these ideas.

    This morning after eating her med-laced food, she demanded to go out. That makes me feel so much better knowing she likes it out there.

    I am really sorry that Olivia's problem is still there. It is certainly not from your lack of trying!! Goodness knows you have tried everything! I commend you for your patience because Olivia would be in loads of trouble in most homes.
    I think the enclosure is wonderful!! My cats would love to have something like that!! If Olivia wants to live outside and is happy then I would let her be. You have provided her with anything a kitty could desire plus she can come in if she wants to! I think you may have the solution for both Olivia and you!!!

    Good job Kelly! Thanks for loving Olivia and working so hard to find a solution.

    Olivia is absolutely FINE in your enclosure! She obviously loves it, and there are easy-enough solutions to providing warmth in the cold weather! I would say, keep her! Most likely the change to a new home, would only intensify the naughty poopy behaviour, and the new owner may not tolerate it at all!!! Just my opinion, you are doing a great job with her!!!
