Sunny's Bullying Storm Again!!!

[jennielynn1970]

I sure wish that I lived in a big house then I probably wouldn't be having these problems.

Don't be so sure about that one! I have a 5BR house, and I still have pee wars going on.

Know anything that REALLY works to get it out of hard wood floors that are older and not as thoroughly finished?? I have a few places where they've peed and I just can't get it out of the hard wood. The back door has to be the worst at this point. It goes into this gully between the linoleum and the door and it's just disgusting. I try to get it as much as I can, but nothing is working completely, and they keep remarking it. I think it's the girls doing this actually. I wish I would have had my deck guy replace the whole doorstep area with the Trexx, and not just the step out to the deck.

Sometimes I wonder which battles I'm actually winning. I try to clean up one area, and keep it off limits only to have them start in another area. First it was the basement, I cleaned and closed that off. Then it was the 3rd floor. Cleaned and closed that off (and then put the fosters in there, who were well behaved... such irony, since they couldn't find permanent homes). Now it's a battle in the kitchen, the corner of the stairs to the 2nd floor, and the spare litter room (which has actually been much better since I ripped out the carpet a few weeks ago).

I don't know about you, but I'm really tired of smelling cat pee.

Thanks everyone. I've already contacted Nancy the pet psychic in the past and she told me that Sunny was trying to take over and that he wouldn't be a very good leader at all. After last summer's pee problems I thought that things were finally calming down here. Now it's spring and things are getting crazy again. I e-mailed my holistic vet and I asked her if Storm's Calm Spirit Teapills would also be able to help Sunny. Hopefully they will because I have plenty of them and I'd be able to start him on them asapbut they take about 2 weeks to kick in. They've really helped Storm and they don't change his personality they only make him a bit more mellow.

I already have a 7 foot cat tree which Sunny loves to sit on the top of. Storm hasn't been one to like to sit up high for very long. I think it's because he's older now. They all have plenty of beds, boxes, and cubby holes to be in too. For having 6 cats in such a small place, they do get along very well for the most part so I do consider myself very lucky.

Miquelito bullies Pouncierge once in a while and gors through the whole mating ritual. Hes goes behind her, grabs her behind th neck, the whole 9 yards.
But it only lasts a few seconds and then they are boon companions one more!!!!!!!!

Don Juan does that with Zerlina, too. I think her yowls translate as: "HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU? I'VE BEEN SPAYED!!!" (Not that he could do much about it if she wasn't.)

Well I'm going to try the Calm Spirit Teapills. My holisitic vet said that they can't hurt him but they may not be the right formula for him. I'll see how it goes. Hopefully he'll take them easily.

I'm sure I sound like a broken record by now but Clomicalm has been a godsend for me. Boo is 16 now, has been the alpha male, until Specs came along and he's 7 1/2 now. The pee wars had me ready to boot them both. Clomicalm changed all that. As for getting the pee out, I've used Urine Gone successfully. It takes out the spot completely, even on hardwood, and removes the smell, too. If you haven't already, ask your vet about Clomicalm. It's usually recommended for dogs but my vet gave it to me for Specs and Boo and they've not experienced any side effects whatsoever. Good luck. I know how frustrating this can be.
