Have you tried walking around the room bare footed? That's the fasted way for me to find wet spots.

Prayers and (((HUGS))) for you and sweet Sir Max!

Have you tried walking around the room bare footed? That's the fasted way for me to find wet spots.

The rug that I have is beige in color and it's berber - very tight knit and very hard to clean. Yes, I've walked around bare footed anyway but didn't feel anything but my nose tells a different story. I have to find the spot pretty quickly because I don't want him using it all the time. God I love that boy but I sure don't want my condo stinking of cat urine.

Did you check the bed and under it? Behind any curtains that may be hanging down? In the closet? Hope you find it soon. I know how ya feel. Grandma pooped on the bedroom carpet a while back when Winnie wouldn't let her in the litterboxes in the bathroom and kitchen. I finally put a box in the bedroom for her.

Slick, Yes, unfortunately most pain meds will affect the kidneys in cats. This is one reason why I'll be using a pain patch or buprenex on my Sunny. I hope that the extra litter boxes will help. You might also want to try buying some puppy pee pads and putting some of these down. I hope that you're able to find all of the pee spots and clean them up well. You can Max continue to remain in my thoughts and prayers. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

I had Berber carpet at one time and, you're right, it's difficult to clean and sometimes difficult as well to find pee spots. Unfortunately, the only way for me to find pee spots is as you said, crawling around on hands and knees. Wear latex gloves, though. Not only is it more sanitary but you'll notice the difference in how the carpet feels immediately when you come upon the pee spot. I'm sure you know about Urine Gone cleaner but in the slim chance that you don't, give it a whirl. When Puddy was having such a tough time in her last days, sometimes she couldn't make it to the litterbox and believe me when I say that Urine Gone got every last trace of the stain and smell out. The important thing is, though, that you keep your spirits up the best you can. We're w/you. Keep the faythe.

My morning routine is just that, routine but one thing Max loves is when I open up the bathroom door to have a shower. He's in there like a dirty shirt.

This morning I got up and went about my business. Max didn't greet me but that's normal. When I opened up the bathroom door, no Max. When I called him, no Max. It was late so I had a shower and changed for work. I called Max, no Max.

I first looked behind the bed, no Max. I then scoured all the corners of my apartment, behind things, no Max. I called and called, no Max. It was then that my heart started pumping a mile a minute. What if he passed in the night somewhere and I wasn't there to comfort him. I was scared. I kept looking, then I noticed that one of the stuffed toys on the couch was knocked down. I knelt down to pick it up and low and behold. This is what I saw.





He only looked up when I called his name.



Can you spot the kitty?



Even when I was calling his name, he didn't respond. Silly kitty.

Excuse the mess. I getting stocking stuffers ready....

Whew! What a scare he gave you. I'm glad that he was having a nice nap on the couch among all of the stuffed animals. He sure is adorable. This kind of reminds me of the movie "E.T." when the kids couldn't find E.T. and later they found him hiding out with their stuffed animals.

Please give Max some cuddles and scritches for me. You both continue to remain in my thoughts and prayers and I hope that both of you have a great Christmas and a wonderful New Year. Please take care. (((HUGS)))
