Hi Everyone
I'm back X_X after 2 months of PEACE AND QUIET..
well not really but at least no other drama w/ the cats.
Just to fill anyone in who may be reading this and able to offer some help before Miss. Bitchy-Coco-Chanel (my problem cat) ends up at the shelter.
I adopted Coco 3 years ago on my bday, she's always been really independent and kind of rebellious cat (the kind that when you tell them not to scratch or do something - they continue to do it WHILE looking at you) --
and this year I got my other Kitten Alexander - who is So So So cute and adorable and he cuddles and likes to be smothered and sleep with you and purrs and purrs and purrs, and loves coco but everytime he NEARS her, she GROWLS and Hisses/Runs away (Even though I wish she'd stop running away cuz it only makes him chase her/piss her off more)
-
So anyway
a while back my Mom and brother were visiting me, and I live in a small 2 bedroom apt with my roommate so my Mom and Bro were staying in my room on my bed, and I on the floor
she ended up peeing on my Floor/bed
we washed it, I ended up rolling my blankets up every morning before I go to work so she coulnd't pee on it.
after my Mom and brother left, it was like nothing happened
she didn't quite get along with Alex but she ate w/ him, sometimes took naps w/ him, but just didn't want to play, everytime he would try to play w/ her, she'd growl/hiss/runaway
Anyway
So
This whole week has just been so stressful, at work, etc, I have a flu, and a cold, and strep,, but still went to work and have been taking home things to work on (Yay for the economy)
so Monday as I lay down (btw my nose has been stuffed til yesterday it finally cleared and I can smell)
and I took some NYquil (this was already 1:30 AM)
I roll over and landed in a wet spot
and im like, Oh MY GOD please TELL me I spilled water on my bed or something somehow
X_X drag myself out of bed, and there was a HUGE wet spot right in the middl eof my bed, throguh my comforter, sheets, 2 more blankets I use as cushion under my sheets, my coverings, and luckily since the floor incident I covered my mattress w/ plastic so it didnt go through that
so I douse the thing in Nature's Miracle
and put it to wash, around 4:30 I finally got everything back on the bed went to sleep
rolled up my comforter to the corner
come home on tuesday
ANOTHER SPOT, like 5 " away from wehre the original was,
also discovered while at 2Am i finally get to bed
I'm so P*ssed i changed the sheets and slept on that cuz she didnt get to the blanket this time
Yesterday
came home
ANOTHER SPOT
AND GOT MY BLANKET AGAIN (even though it was smushed to the corner of my bed)
so I tore off all the things on my bed, even changed the plastic on my bed (Dear God)
and slept on the plastic w/ another new blanket
this MORNING i feel something PAWING at me
I turn over
she PEED while I was IN BED?
Ok..
So.
Here are things that have "changed"
my Feliway ran out - so I have that coming in the mail
I got another litter box, took the litter box out of my roommates room which has been quote unquote "alex's litter box" (but Alex has been using Coco's anyway, since he's a brat and he doesnt' really get that whole territorial thing, i mean this cat is unbelievably silly and nice - and loves every animal we near him to)
and I bought another litter box and removed the temporary one in my roommate's room
put both litter boxes in my bathroom since my roommate didnt want a litterbox in his bathroom (due to litter getting everywhere)
so Last night I discussed these behaviors to him and he agreed to separate the cats, move the litter box back, and see what happens
So I locked alex of my room, coco locked in w/ me
and O did she seem SO happy
sprawling on the floor, purring, kneading me etc
Even at night when I went to my plastic w/ a blanket on top poor excuse of a bed, she slepted at the corner of the blanket w/ me all night
I woke up this morning to her in the litter box (prob only pooing)
and then 30 minutes later (fell back asleep)
I woke up to her pawing at my blanket like she would be in the littler box
RIGHT next to me
like, literally if I rolled over even a little bit I would've landed in the HUUUGEEE puddle of pee.
So this afternoon afterwork I'm getting her checked for UTI
Now - if its NOT UTI - could this possibly be because she's just upset?? but why would she sleep w/me and purr and knead and be so happy I locked him out
and STILL pee on my bed.
So if the scenario comes out that she doesn't have UTI
what do I do?
Put her on Kitty Zoloft??
At this point I am really thinking about dropping her off at a humane society.
I don't even know whats going on with my job, I'm trying to save money so in case of a lay-off
and now I'm forking over god-only-knows how much AGAIN on this STUPID CAT
that is just a b*tch and has ruined so many things X_X And i've just endured her time after time - and I saved her from the brink of death at a shelter (sigh) X_X
I can't get rid of Alex because he is just So So So sweet
If anyone has any other ideas or suggestions as what to do please help me out ;_; even for peace of mind.
OH and IF she DOES have UTI
how long does it take to cure and will she continue to pee on my bed til she's "better"?? I can't afford dry cleaning bills every night but I guess I can always sleep on the couch until she's better (
