Anika Losing Weight, SAY A PRAY TO MAKE HER EAT, PLEASE I NEED YOUR PRAYS ASAP!

Yeah I could do the dye, the only problem with that is she doesn't do it everyday if it's her doing it.

So I guess I'd just have to find out how long the dye would last first.

THAT SOUNDS AS THOUGH IT COULD BE DIABETES AS MR SCRAPPY HADTHE SAME SYMPTOMS.
SADLY AT 14, THE DAMAGE HAD ALREADY BEEN DONE TO HIS KIDNEYS , AND HE BECAME AN ANGEL.
WE ARE PRAYING FOR ANIKA , THAT YOU CAN FIND WHATS AILING HER

Could be any of those things Sandra (kb2yjx) mentioned. And all of them will only get worse if left untreated. She really needs to have a vet check up.

How is Anika today??

Being in the right place at the right time is how we cought our peeers. I would love to have a web cam to catch the buggers, but it's not in the budget at the moment.

I hope you're able to find out the problem and take care of it.

Well I tried to give Anika some can food and she was interested but I'm going to call the vets today. She needs a good check up and I just need to suck it up and hopefully the vet bill won't be too too much or maybe I'll just put some Cat books up on here for sale and then I'd be able to get some extra cash for her vet check up.

Thanks,
Melissa

As you know I'm having the same problem. I use Urine Gone too but lately I've found that white vinegar and water seems to be working the best for removing the urine smell. I mixed it half and half in a water bottle and spray it on. It works well on both hard and soft surfaces (carpet). I've not tried it on furniture - thank goodness that hasn't been peed on yet. (knock on wood)

We did set up the web cam but we already had the equipment and the software to make it stop motion is a free download online called Dorgem. Have you looked at web cams on eBay? Sometimes you can pick one up cheap there. Of course you will need to have a computer nearby since you have to hookup the camera. We use a laptop so it's portable.

As for the urine dye, I believe call florurescein, I talked to my vet about it and she said she doesn't know of anyone who has had success using it. It only stays in the system for so long plus you have to use a blacklight to find the stain. If the cat doesn't pee when the dye is at it's strongest you may not find it.

My vet recommended confining cats to certain room and then whichever cat you find in the room with pee is your culprit. That wouldn't work in my house with seven cats so we opted to use the "Pee Cam".

Sound like Anika really has a medical problem so I hope you are able to get her looked at and it's easily (and affordeably) treated.
