Almost to the final straw :(

I've had to deal with sprayers in the past as well. Finally, we had our living room carpet removed and put down wood laminate floors which helped greatly. However, we regularly have someone who has taken to peeing on any or all of my doormats. I know it doesn't help that Betina (chihuahua) still isnt' housebroken and uses them as well! I have finally just sucked up and replace my mats fairly often ... once the odor becomes too bad to disguise!

However, if I had one that was going on countertops and such, that would be the end of my rope! My house is far from sterile ... impossible with all of my cats and doggies ... but there are still a few "sacred" areas and my countertops are one of them!!!

Lori, whatever you have to do to regain your peace of mind, sanity, etc.... I will support you completely! I've had my bed peed on several times ... ruined comforters, pillows, clothing left on the floor, etc. and it's not fun!

Lori, I'm so sorry to hear that you're still having peeing problems. Hopefully you'll be able to find out which cat or cats are doing this and that prozac will do the trick.

Yes, I tried Clomicalm in the liquid form on Storm and it made him so sleepy that he lost his personality. Now he's on an herbal pill instead and it's helped him out a lot. If this didn't work I would've tried prozac. Good luck and please keep us updated.

So how are things going, Lori? Have you seen any improvement? Since reading your thread, I've learned some things about Clomicalm, such as that it comes in cream form. (This is what I love about PT. I learn so much.) I feel bad that kitties have had bad reactions to it, especially since mine have done so well. Anyhow, I do hope that things have calmed down for you and that culprit/s have stopped peeing. Hang in there.

Thanks for asking Mary. I talked to the vet Friday and she said to find out who it is first. Her suggestion is to put the suspects up. I really don't have the room to do that. Anyway, she said once we know who then we could try Prozac if it's Rocky and now she gets Clomicalm in liquid form to put on food so we could try it and/or Prozac on Moxie or Decker (no more clomicalm for Rocky). She said if I can't figure out who she would let me medicate all three but to try first.

So...we've set up a webcam in the dining room to catch them. Smart A kitties haven't peed since! I swear there was a pee a day either a small marking on the carpet runner or a big puddle on the carpet, but pee every single day last week. In fact they did it right before we got the camera set up Saturday but nothing since. It's been 48 hours and nothing so either they are that smart or they've started going somewhere else I haven't found yet.

Hopefully I'll catch my star(s) on camera soon.

Oh they can be crafty, can't they? If you take the camera down, you know what will happen. LOL I sure hope this improves for you soon. It can be maddening. Please post as to how Prozac works because, as I said, if Clomicalm should ever stop working for me, I'll try Prozac. Keep the faythe.

Well, solving the problem wasn't as hard as you thought it would be then! Just keep the camera up!

The cameras put out a electromagnetic force that affects the urethral muscles in all warm blooded animals. The wee wee muscles contract and do not allow any mammal smaller that 45 pounds to pass urine.

I kid, I kid.

I can see the family evenings scheduled like this.....

Dinner and kittie home movies-
After further review of the play....No penalty!
