Will an new cat pee on my carpet where my old cat peed?
I had an 11yr old cat the constantly peed in the hallway and pretty much
where she felt like it despite keeping her litter box clean. We eventually gave her away because of this. I could not take it anymore cleaning carpet twice a week only to have her pee again on the same areas. My children want a new kitty. Will a new cat pee in the same areas to mark its spot? If so I am done with cats and the smell and the work involved cleaning up the mess and trying to keep my house from smelling like cat pee. I am a single parent and do not have extra money to take the cats to the vet and put them on antidepressents. I spend enough on medical issues for the children in my home. |

If you cannot medical care for a pet, you should definitely not get one. All
pets needs vaccinations, spaying/neutering, and become ill. YOur 11 year old cat probably had a urinary tract infection that needed treatment.

I think you don't need a pet. Pets are not disposable. If they have a problem, physical or behavioral, you need to step up to the plate and deal with it. If you are emotionally and financially unable to do so, it's best to not own a pet. Giving away an 11 year old cat with a peeing problem. The mind boggles. My very problematic in many ways kitty, Carey, just turned 13 on Thursday. As much as it's been difficult to deal with her issues, her meds aren't very expensive and they DO help. And I wouldn't dream of trying to pawn her off on someone else - she's my responsibility. -- Janet Boss www.bestfriendsdogobedience.com |

You should not get another cat. First, there is a great likelihood that your cat had a medical problem (such as UTI) that caused inappropriate peeing. If you cannot or will not take care of veterinary bills as they arise, you should not consider getting another cat. I cannot envision giving away an 11-year-old cat. Surely you know that this cat may end up being euthanized! Second, you asked if another cat will pee in the same places. There is no guarantee, but that is a possibility. Cats can detect odors that we cannot, so the scent may still be there. MaryL |

It's near impossible to get rid of a urine odor by just cleaning the carpeting. One has to take it up and clean the floor underneath. And even if you could do that, it doesn't sound like another pet is a good idea right now. Rightly, your children are your first priority ... but that shouldn't include providing them with another pet that you know you can't take care of. |

A new cat will definitely pee where the last cat peed and then find some new
places like on your bed and your kitchen table. It's a shame you didn't take your last cat to a vet where you most likely would have been given a pill a day for 10 days for the cat. You had the poor little cat for 11 years and obviously couldn't have cared less about her. You have taught your child that when a pet becomes old and ill just palm the pet off on someone else. Your child will remember this, believe me. My son is in his thirties and he can tell you about the care we gave each of our aging cats. Don't get another pet. -- Barb Of course I don't look busy, I did it right the first time. |

Don't ever get another animal with comments that you made you are
definitely not a person that ever needs to have a animal again. Cats are like kids they get sick and need health care "Marilyn44" u24699@uwe wrote in message news:6405c8f6c6ab2@uwe...
