Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / December 2006Eli sprayed in the shower stall
I saw him do it. I think he meant for me to see. I think he's frustrated by not being able to spray outdoors like he used to, and at the same time he knows it's inappropriate to spray in the house. So he found a compromise. "I can spray in the shower stall because it doesn't hurt anything." I've noticed other cats in the shower stall sniffing that spot. I sure hope it's enough to keep him happy. > I saw him do it. I think he meant for me to see.

When Pi decided to pee in the sink, while looking straight at me, it turned out he had a UTI.

When Fin needed my attention, he'd wait until I was actually on the throne, then he'd climb into the sink and pee. It was his way of saying, 'Clean the box, woman!' I cleaned the box. The next target was either my bed or the couch. Jane - owned and operated by Princess Rita. > I saw him do it. I think he meant for me to see.

Winnie does that too and it is the only place he sprays. It is really quite convenient to clean up. He isn't altered, never sprays anywhere else, takes care of our two entire lady cats when they are in need and never gets either of them pregnant. What a gallant little fellow. If Sunset or Missy did get pregnant, we could find good homes for a few purebred Himalayan kittens, so it wouldn't be a tragedy, but it is better this way. Will in New Haven -- > > I saw him do it.

Someone musked on my coat and also put a pee spot on my PJs. I'm blaming SMokey for the musk, but I don't know who is responsible for the peeing. That was a few days ago and I'm keeping my eye open for other inappropriate pee, but right now I think I just let the PJ pile get too high and someone decided to dig in it for a wee-wee. --Fil > He isn't altered, never sprays anywhere else, takes care of our two > entire lady cats when they are in need and never gets either of them > pregnant. You are very lucky! How come you don't get them fixed - are you breeding?

These cats never go outdoors, so the only issues are whether Winnie woudl produe the typical tomcat stinking spray, which he doesn't, and whether we want kittens. Micki would like some kittens from Sunrise or Missy by Winnie. They are beautiful cats and would produce excellent Himalayan kittens. Sunrise and Missy have been mothers before and proved devoted and affectionate ones. Missy's temperment, she hates hoomaans, does not seem to transfer to her kittens who are very nice pets. Sunrise is a diva and her kittens probably do think very highly of themselves but they allow hoomans to serve them as does the Diva herself. She even consents to be petted. Micki would like to keep one or even two and says, and I agree, that others would be easy to place or even to sell. While I agree that a five-cat household could absorb a kitten easily, I am not sure about a five-cat one Labarador retriever and one parrot household. At least Buy Run, the Pomeranian, has moved out, although he still visits. It is probably all moot as Winnie only fires blanks.

No hormones. -- CATherine > jXwXeXrXmXoX...@sonic.net wrote: >> [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > > -- Do the vets hassle you about your cats not being desexed. I have one old cat who I decided not to snip, simply because he's so old (about 16 yo), so why bother, he is confined to a cat enclosure and all my other cats have been spayed or castrated. My previous vets (before I moved) were fine with it, but some of the vets here go on about it. They don't believe that he doesn't spray and that he doesn't roam. Dewi. > > jXwXeXrXmXoX...@sonic.net wrote: > >> [quoted text clipped - 42 lines] > > Dewi. Our vets know that Missy, Sunrise and Winnie are breeders, albeit unsuccesful ones. It is a matter for humor as they know that these are indoor cats. I don't think I would deal with a vet who treated me as if I were not truthful. Poor Winnie got his tail too close to Buddy, the Severe Macaw, almost inside Buddy's cage, and got bitten for his troulbes. He wasn't injured badly, no blood drawn and no bone broken, but his feelings were hurt. It's always something. Will in New Haven -- "The welfare of the people has always been the alibi of tyrants, and it provides the further advantage of giving the servants of tyranny a good conscience" Albert Camus My first thoughts were UTI. Keep an eye out for this, my cats have sprayed right in front of me when they've had UTI's. Dewi. > I saw him do it. I think he meant for me to see.

Keep an eye out for this, my cats have sprayed > right in front of me when they've had UTI's. I know, but Eli's always been a sprayer. Abelard has, too, but thankfully he has not (to my knowledge) done it in this house (and won't ever start). When we would walk together on the farm, or just when I was out in the yard with the cats, I would often see both Eli and Abelard back up to various bushes and things, and spray them. A few times, Eli came into the bathroom when I was in there and sprayed my clothes while I was on the toilet. I figured he was marking me as his personal slave. >> I saw him do it.
