Well, at least it looks like the rug isn't seriously damaged by the washing machine, but I don't know how often it will survive such a procedure.

Kim, it's true, many decoration ideas I have do not work because they are
a) a danger to cats
b) they would be destroyed

So, no matter how much I love decorating: the cats come first!


Gary, a vcr? That's really annoying, I would have been mad, too. But then again, when you compare the value of a vcr to a cat's life... I always try to look at things this way, when anything material gets destroyed.


Andrea, I can relate to what you're going through with Onyx!

I tried so many things:

- I set up litter boxes all over the place
- I sprayed my rugs with Feliway
- I tried Bachflower remedy
- put food to the places she has peed on
- and of course the medical treatment of her bladder problems

I have also covered my sofa and the mattress of my bed with synthetic leather and plaids.

I take her to her litter box and try to encourage her to use it. I never scold her and when she's using her box, I tell her she did right.

And lately, I even bought a book on animal communication and I try to "send" her the right "pictures", pictures of Luna using her box.

What else can I still do?
