Oh Jen ... I can certaily understand your frustration. If it makes you feel any better ... we have a poodle who will still randomly poop by the door rather than asking to go out! She is 4 years old, and "housebroken". Trust me, dog poops smells MUCH worse than cat poop!

I gave up on having clean carpets a long time ago. As you know, I have a house full of kitties, like both you and K&L. I don't think there is a single spot in my whole house that hasn't been peed, pooped or barfed on by at least one kitty. There are days when I get really down and out and feel like doing something drastic, but then I remind myself that this is the price I pay for having the unconditional love of my babies!

I hope this helps a little bit!

HUGS!
Kim

Because Cats aremore important than carpets.
Imagine how badly you would feel,if anything happened to One Of Your Cats,while you were angry with them.
You would feel badly about that for years.
Tubby2,still sprays as he is an Older Tom,and I understand that he will do that for a while,its the price I gladly pay.
Jen,I think we know you well ,that you dont really mean that.
You are a True Cat Person,just venting a bit.

Reason #1 is I'm not sure they have electric chairs small enough for cats yet!
Reason #2 cats will be cats and that's that.

I have an ongoing problem with my 3 legged hellion Impy who whizzes on everything he can. I know the biggest part of is problem is he's picked on by a few of the other cats, so he retaliates in his finest fashion GRR! And having 3 legs does not stop him from climbing on counters etc.

Is there a room you could segregate Sterling & Lucas into until things calm down? I have had to resort to keeping Sweet Pea (PEE?) in the bedroom so she doesn't pee (and sometimes poop) on the counters...she's another low cat on the totem pole.

She's happy and relaxed, does not pee in the bedroom, so it works well for us all. I invested in a Hoover Steam Vac a few years ago, and I have to say it works wonders! It sucks the pee out (along with other nasty bodily icks) instead of spinning it around like a shampoo machine. And it has upholstery/ stair attachments too. Our 120 lb. dog Greta has UTIs sometimes...and talk about flooding! I highly recommend them.
