wow pixie bites if you're talking to a baby..sorry you had to go through this!

I don't know what to suggest, I like the ideas above, something you can do about behaviors but not all of possibilites may work when you have a baby, a lot of time required. everything may seem impossible to you right now but don't forget to let us know what we can help you with! do you have any spouse/friend that comes over often could help with your furkids and share extra attention? have all of this happened just right after you had babies or probably it's because of new apartment you moved in last week? any previous tenants had furkids? that, old smells may cause troubles too.

meanwhile, don't forget to take care of yourself, jods. (((hugs!)))

The only one thing I might suggest is to bear with things for another 2 months. You might find that the stress of a new baby in the house (and the stress you are feeling from alot of sleepless nights) might be making things worse than they are.

I rehomed Pongo he is a kitten so i knew he'd find a home fast, I love him but I had to do it. It was a long day one of the worst I've had in a long time. Pixie is getting another chance. She is enjoying being an only cat right now and even though she loved Pongo she has been on my lap all night. I've been going to my moms alot since I had the baby and I've decided to stay home more often and spend more time with her it may help. Anything so I can keep her, but I'll tell ya I'm in the dog house with hubby tonight

LOL I bought another spray for the wires its called bitter lime we'll see how she likes that and hopefully it was Pongo anyways and not her and the problem will be solved. Thanks for the caring words and love I need it.

Well...kittens ARE friskier, so hopefully it was him. Hopefully Pongo's new owner will give you updates and visits.

Can your mom come to your place more often?

hugs

This must be such a hard decision for you!! I am happy you already found a solution for Pongo

. Let's hope that Pixie isn't jalous anymore, now that she is the only cat around! Be careful though..
Hugs!!!

ps. Your little baby is sooooo precious!!!

My oldest cat Ebony has been a snot lately; I think I've figured out that he was protesting that I didn't feed him Poultry Platter food! He peed inappropriately twice, then gave me "questioning" looks. When I was dishing up another food this morning, he looked disdainfully at it. The penny dropped, and I provided another choice, which he dove into. (He's 15 so I'll indulge him.)

I'm so sorry to hear about your tough situation. All of us here understand your position right now. You want to do the right thing but you just don't know what that is. You did the very best thing you could possibly have done, you told us about it. I respect you for that. I wish I could offer more than just my support. Knowing the gang on PT, you can be sure of getting some great advice. Keep us upated, okay?

I'm jumping in with a suggestion about those wires. Get some long pieces of clear plastic tubing (probably any major hardware store will have it) and carefully cut the entire length of the tubing..measuring how long it needs to be first. Slip it over the wires (as many as you can bundle together inside it) and hopefully this will solve THAT problem.

The parts where the tubing doesn't cover, I'd spray with the bitter stuff. Sleep deprevation and a brandy new baby I'm sure are adding to stress all around. I lve the idea of a cat room as well that Pixie can feel secure in. Wishing you luck, and hoping you don't have to rehome her too.
