I have laminate floors and 12 cats. A couple of the cats like to leave puddles.

I worry ALL THE TIME about wet spots causing lifting at the edges of the laminate. I had a couple of places get wet and buckle where the seams are. I opted for vinyl that looks like laminate when I re-did the cat room recently.

Maybe others have had good luck with laminate getting wet, but I can't recommend it.

I have one litter box for each cat and one extra. I scoop once or twice a day and replace all litter weekly. I recently added one more in the den where I find a puddle most often. Only time will tell if this will solve the problem.

I also have a call in to Nancy, the pet psychic, to get a little insight about one of the worst offenders. In the past she has said that she was picking up the feeling that some cats think there are "too many cats". Since none of mine are going anywhere, they'll have to adjust---or I'll have to get used to wiping up a lot. I use Simple Solution to eliminate the odor. Washing and painting won't remove the deep-down odor that draws the cats to pee there again. That's probably why some of the "good" ones have started. You need to use a generous amount of an enzyme cleaner such as Simple Solution or Nature's Miracle.

I definitely understand your frustration. I have had my bed marked, two loveseats soaked, my sofa annointed and all throw rugs drenched. I keep my bathroom door shut so the rug will stay dry for a while. Curtains are another common target.

I hope we both find a solution to this maddening problem.
