Hi, so a few days ago, I made a thread about one of my cats peeing in weird places (on the kitchen counter, mostly). We took her to the vet, who gave her an antibiotic shot and a NurtureCalm pheromone collar. Since then, she hasn't been peeing anywhere. However, the vet also recommended we get...

Hi! Thanks for responding. To clarify, she is using the litterbox sometimes - she uses the one upstairs and the one downstairs. She always poops and covers in the litterbox, but every other day or so, she pees on the counter.

Hi. Since you were so helpful the last time I had an issue with one of my cats running away, I wanted to seek your advice on something else. For about the past month, my cat, Cleo, has been peeing on the kitchen counter (and once in my room upstairs). She is about 11 years old, but she doesn't...

Hi, not to hijack this thread, but I'm going through the same problem. What is a "DMZ?" Also, what kind of screening door? Can you say how it functions for you? I was sort of thinking of something like this (In my mind, a baby gate).

Thanks for your reply, but I'm still a bit confused. I don't see how that prevents him from getting out, as he might not always go on the shelf. Draco: As I mentioned in my first post, I can't use deterrents like sprays of air/water. Very close to the door (within 3-4 feet) is the couch and the...

Okay, so a few weeks ago I made a thread in the S.O.S. forum about one of my cats running away. For the second time. This cannot happen again. First off, both times he was gone, he was gone for about 3 weeks to a month. Not "gone" so much as hanging around the house/woods and refusing to come...

HE'S BACK HE'S BACK MY BABY BOY IS BACK OH MY GOD OH MY OH GOD He's back Oh god Okay, so what we did was a blending of the ideas here. I used towels to cover the back of the cage and front of the cage (the middle had to stay uncovered so the handle could come down in place if the trap was...

Hi again. We tried the crate trap two years ago, but it didn't work as he managed to slip out. I'll try covering the trap. I can't get access to a dog food back, but I'll use towels. We tried putting the food in the trap for the past two days (with tuna), but he didn't fall for it. I'm really...

HI all again. I tried putting the trap out. I haven't him since the night before I put the trap out, so I don't know what to do. Maybe I should try putting the food out in front, but I don't know if he'll come near it at all if the trap is out there. He doesn't have a "bed," - the house is his...

Hi, Feralvr, can you clarify something? Why should I tie the trap door open and feed him that way if all I want to do is get him inside the trap? I was thinking about your ideas of concealing the cage with a food bag or towel - but might this make him feel trapped? We're thinking of making...

Heh, the last time he was out and we brought out the humane trap, we caught stray cats, possums, and even skunks. Trap and release, that's all we do. I don't think sitting and waiting for him is going to work, because he runs off really easy. I'm considering using the trap again. He fell for...

Food on the porch? Check. Humane trap? Check. Snowy? There's snow on the ground, but it hasn't snowed in days. I'm hesistant about the t-shirt thing because I don't want to scare him off. I think I saw him this morning. I'm not sure. I didn't have my glasses on and I have bad eyesite, but...

This thread isn't about the death of my cat, but his absence. I'm really, really emotional right now and I'm seeking out a cat forum to get support from people who understand why this is so emotional for me. One of my cats, Nicky, escaped on Sunday. My mother went outside into the garage and...
