Mystery
This Saturday is Fallapalooza and Dave and I have a date night to attend. Fallapalooza is like the Lollapalooza Music Festival, only it’s local bands playing in the parking lot of a local Sports Bar & Grill named Falls Bar. We’ve got an all night sitter for Gavin, so we can really let our hair down and have some fun. Most of Dave’s friends should be there, and they’re always a blast.
On another note.. one of our cats is chosing not to use the litter box. I’m not sure which one it is. Gracie, that’s our new kittie. She’s about 5 months old. We got her at about 9 weeks old after my Nikki died. Then there’s Boots, she’s 5 years old and has also been around since kittenhood. Gracie, the baby, I do see her using the box, both of them in fact (we have 2 litterboxes for them). We’ve never had a problem with Boots not using the litter box, even when Nikki was around. Both Boots and Gracie get along great, they play together, sleep together, bathe each other. This morning, I went down into the basement to get a pair of socks and I look down and there on top of a plastic grocery bag on the floor is a pool of yellow. That wasn’t there last night. And it was right next to the litter box, so the culprit is deliberately doing this. We have a laundry shoot down to the laundry area and I’ve already had to throw away a couple of my favorite shirts because I went to toss them in the wash and got a whiff of cat pee. This is beginning to upset me. Both cats are great otherwise.. I just need to catch the culprit. What I’ll do when that happens, I don’t know. How do you stop a cat from peeing on the floor? And it’s just pee because I haven’t found any cat nuggets laying around. I’ve PineSol’d the whole floor. The basement is beginning to stink and I’m sure it’s because whomever is doing this has a spot I haven’t found yet. I’ll probably spend a good portion of tonight looking for it. Wish me luck.
I’ll bet it’s the new kittie…our youngest cat does that whenever his litter box needs changing. He’s super picky about having a clean litter box, and if it isn’t up to his standards, he uses the floor…it’s so frustrating! Vinegar works well for cleaning it up.
Has something changed in the house? Sometimes cats get pissed off about something and peeing on stuff if their way of telling you.
How long after Nikki was gone did it take you to get Gracie?
