Hi all,
I have a problem with 2 of my youngest cats, I have 4 altogether , mum Kitt, dad Spike, son Parker and daughter Moo... The 2 eldest aren't too much of a problem (apart from the fact that last week Kitt had a nasty cold but seems to be over it now), but Moo and Parker are proving to be a bit of a handful!
For starters they keep walking all over the kitchen work surfaces, this wasn't too much of a problem until we discovered that Parker and Moo are both peeing and pooing on the worktops!
I can downstairs one morning to find poo in the sink while my girlfriend went in their a couple of days later to find pee AND poo on the COOKER!!!
Obviously this is extremely unhygenic and we don't want to rehome them both but what can we do? We don't have a littler tray as we are trying for a baby and although we will be keeping the cats away from my girlfriend when she's (hopefully) pregnant, the litter tray would be too big a risk, they haven't used it in a year or so anyway...
Does anyone have any clue as to why they keep doing this? Does the smell stay like it does with a carpet? I do clean it thoroughly but they keep doing it, I was told that a mixture of washing up liquid, hydrodren peroxide and bicarbonate of soda should help but I haven't tried that yet...
We have an open window at all times (too small for a human so safe enough) but Parker is too lazy to get up there a lot of the time... He spends most of his day asleep!
Please help! We're going crazy!
