Before we had twins ( which are now 9 months old ), our cat would sometimes meow in the morning when he wanted us to get up and give him canned food and let him go outside. Now it has become a big issue. How do we train him not to do this, while at the same time not waking the babies up. ...

Urine in carpeted hall that connects kitchen/bath/livingroom. It is impossible to saturate with Nature's Miracle and leave it to dry. I have to put plastic sheeting over it to walk and I think this is causing the stain to spread. Has anyone been in a similar situation? I have one sick cat...
