Hello everyone,

I have tried to cover the spots (being treated with the enzyme remover) with tin foil. It worked for the first little while, but lately she has started to pee on the tin foil. So I guess that option has been worn out.

She is not declawed and I would hesitate to do that (it is amputating their toes and I think that would be painful). But she doesn't usually claw the furniture. She was extremely easy to train to the scratching post (a little catnip can be a wonderful thing ).

The strange thing is that she usually does this when I am at home. (For awhile she was peeing in my shoes if I got home too late.) So I have no problem leaving her during the day (i.e. when I am at work/school). I have even put up a bird feeder to keep her occupied while I am gone.

But I am starting to reach the conclusion that I don't have many options left if I want to avoid the drugs. Valium and Elavil only provide temporary relief for the problem (approximately 50% of cats will start up again once the medication is stopped). While products like Ovaban and the such are hormones, so I want to avoid those. But the Buspar is supposed to have quite a good success rate (only a 20% relapse rate according to the literature).
