Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / June 2005Why pee on the watermelon?
Issa has peeing issues. Not everyday, mind you, but at least once a week. I've seen him peeing squatting down and spraying standing up. We've got the Feliway diffusers back on, hopefully this will help. But today he sprayed a watermelon I bought to make margaritas. Do you think he found the watermelon threatening in some way? Crazy cat.  SignatureVictor M. Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam here: uce@ftc.gov Email me here: pistorLITTER@BOXaustin.rr.com > Issa has peeing issues.

I'm very interested in that :-) -- Britta "There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast." -- Unknown Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album > now! But can you post your watermelon margarita recipe? I'm very > interested in that :-) Sure thing, but I don't quite follow an exact recipe. Here's what I do. Puree the watermelon and freeze in quart-size ziploc bags (if the watermelon is not sweet enough, add sugar when pureeing). Once it's frozen, crush one bag enough so it'll fit in your blender (you'll need a good blender). Add about 1 cup of the best inexpensive tequila you can find (I use hornitos reposado, look for a label that says 100% agave) and 1/2 cup of lime or lemon liqueur (we use an italian one called lemoncello). You could also use midori if you like more melon flavor or even cointreau. Blend until smooth. Serve on glasses frosted with sugar. YUM! You could also make them without freezing the watermelon first, then just serve with ice, but they're really yummy frozen. Obviously, adjust the alcohol to match your taste. I have a friend who complains that my drinks are too strong. Geez, the guy gets drunk a couple of times and it's suddenly your fault! ;-) SignatureVictor M.

Geez, the guy gets drunk a > couple of times and it's suddenly your fault! ;-) Wow, thanks Victor :-) I'll be making those tomorrow! There's no 100% agave tequila available where I am, there's some really cheap stuff with a red plastic mexican hat on the lid, so that's what I'll be using. Oh well. Dennis and I made some mango margs last night that were good with that stuff. Watermelon is cheap and plentiful here, so that's no problem. Lemonchello isn't a problem either because I make my own. Well, I make Limonchello because there are no lemons here, only limes. I'm sure our taste in alcohol matches yours, Victor. Have had many complaints about too strong drinks. I figure if you come to our house for drinks, you better be able to handle your alcohol ;-) -- Britta "There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast." -- Unknown Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album > > now!

Crazy cat. Well, hell, Victor, to Issa that melon probably looked like Ayers Rock in the middle of Oz (only green, not red) so if Ayers Rock suddenly appeared in the midst of *your* habitat, wouldn't you be tempted to pee on it? > My subject line so far for 2005 Victor :-) > Sorry about your margaritas :-( [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >> But today he sprayed a watermelon I bought to make margaritas.

Do you >>> think he found the watermelon threatening in some way? Crazy cat. While I haven't had a cat pee on a watermelon, I did once have a cat curl up on top of one in the refrigerator. After six years in Kentucky, my family moved back to Nashville in 1976. I transferred from Campbellsville College to Belmont College, and began my sophomore year, living in the dormitory. A stray kitten that had been mooching for food showed up one day with a severely injured tail, so my parents adopted her and took her to an emergency vet. Her tail had to be amputated due to gangrene, apparently caused by being struck by a car fan. Once Tinkerbelle recovered, she became a normal, bouncy hoolikitten. One summer day, I was at my parents' house and opened the refrigerator. Tinkerbelle jumped up into the refrigerator, curled up on a whole watermelon, and started purring. She looked rather disappointed when I took her back out of the refrigerator. She thought that she had found a perfect perch for a hot summer day! SignatureJohn F.

Hopefully Issa won't develop an antipathy toward limes, peaches, or strawberries, depending on what kinds of Margaritas you try next. =o) Maybe the watermelon said something unpardonably rude?

Well, if you don't understand how threatening a watermelon is, I'm certainly not going to explain it to you. ;) Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com > >Issa has peeing issues.

Crazy cat. Well, if it wasn't cut yet you could just rinse it off (I would imagine watermelons sometimes get peed on in the fields before they're brought to market - you just don't know about it). [I've always been pretty pragmatic about things like this - if you're at all queasy about what you eat, *DON'T* read FDA regulations about how many rat turds are allowable in food sold to the public!] Also, in Issa's defense, a striped green object as big as you are might seem threatening! ;> Hugs, CatNipped As I was saying: the Ayers Rock phobia! Fear of large monolith-shaped objects suddenly appearing in your habitat..... >> Issa has peeing issues.

That's strange, and funny. Rusty once pee on his case of canned food. It's not that he didn't like the food. He ate it all. There was only 1 can left in the case so I just rinsed off the can before feeding it to him. Wonder wheter that was his way of reminding me to go get more food. But for sure that was a strange way to do so. After that episode, I put his food under the kitchen tabel instead of in his room and so far there has been no repeat incidence. Like Issa, Rusty periodically has peeing issues. He is now on Clomicalm for his peeing problems. Winnie > Issa has peeing issues.
