Rutherford, at it again!
Hi All:
Another update on Rutherford the Brave, the floor-****ing and wall-spraying cat... Last night I caught him squatting RIGHT after I cleaned the litter box (about two hours after) in the 4 foot area that he has destroyed in our living room with his urine. I feel that he MUST have known he was in the wrong here, because I had to chase him around for about 15 minutes before I caught him to toss his naughty little ass into the bathroom with food and water and his litterbox for the night. I placed his food (dry bowl), his breakfast (canned food) and his water DIRECTLY on the "stink zone" as we like to call it. He hasn't touched it yet, but I am worried about him now finding another place to ****. I can't deal with much more of this, and if he finds another place to urinate in the house, I'm gonna flip. I'll be making a doctor's appointment in a few days to see if we can get a medical opinion. the only problem I have with the vet the last time (and first time) we took him in was that she didn't have any real answers - she just kept pushing her favorite flea and worm meds. Frustrated and sick of smelling the pee, Jimmy -- "...that simple light may rise out of complex darkness." and don't forget to run like an antelope. http://www.jimhutchison.com http://music.jimhutchison.com |

Bluesman Wow. What breathtaking simplicity. I assume the OP does not want to put the litter box there? I'm not sure what this means - I don't want to teach him that the spot he uses is the toilet, I want to teach him that he's not ****ing supposed to **** there. Placing his litter box on the spot seems to me to be a bad judgement. Jimmy |

Placing his litter box on the spot seems to me to be a bad judgement. Jimmy Why? Because you don't think a litter box should GO there? I can understand that it might not look nice there, but with the battle you are having with Rutherford and the fact that you claim to love him so much, it seems to be a great compromise. A bad judgement? Um, you'd have a cat going IN THE LITTER BOX instead of on the floor, wall, etc. You could slowly over time inch it in the direction you want it. Did someone suggest to you that cats are the kinds of animals you can completely bend to your will? If so, not true. Rutherford may be missing his literal cojones but he's got nine more sets and they are all issuing opinions. |

I don't know who started this thread but flea and worm meds just can't be
all the vet could offer. What about urine and blood tests? Maybe another vet. -- Barb Of course I don't look busy, I did it right the first time. |
