Somebody PLEASE give me just 2 good reasons why I shouldn't........

send a couple of BAD cats to the electric chair????

(and I just today, shampooed 2 carpets, and he had loose stool on BOTH!!)

Murphy's law Jen. I think we can all attest to that. Occasionally Ripley will throw up in my bed in the middle of the night. It is more of a reflux thing and happens with a burp and not the urping sound (so no advance warning ). I have found that he is more likely to do this right after I have just put sparkly clean new sheets on the bed.

A furmommy's work is never done. *sigh*

MY boy Sterling being bad????? Tell him if it continues you'll send him to boot camp with Aunt Kim!


Seriously Jen, I have been to your house.... yours is probably like mine: good wood floors under all that carpet. Have you tried to pull up a corner in a smaller room to see whats under there? You might even have oak. We had pine, and for the most part they were in a pretty good shape. We lived without carpet on them for over a year, but got carpet when the few bad patches got really bad. Somedays I wish I could go back to the bare floors and spent the money on repairs instead of carpet.... ah, but that was when I was un-informed about cats and carpet

A friend of mine had two unspayed females; the one had peed all over. When she tore up the carpet in her apartment, she could hardly believe the extent of the stuff!

So if Sterling and Lucas are otherwise healthy and neutered and all that - they could be picking up 'cues' from what is under the carpet.

It's a thought. Get a gang of friends together for pizza and carpet ripping, and get some of that industrial-strength deodorizer!

Worked wonders for my friend - and a surprise cash gift allowed her to get her cats spayed(even low-cost was expensive for her!)

Good luck!
