Hello.  I am Gwennysmom. I created a thread in the Behavior forum a few days ago about my cat peeing in front of a calming diffuser.  I got some helpful tips, including an interesting article on dry food and urinary problems: http://www.catinfo.org/?link=urinarytracthealth.  I definitely see signs of this problem in both of my cats.

My cats are Gwenny, approx. 10 year old,  and Luna, approx. 9 .  Before these two, I had two other cats which both became diabetic.  I was then on the Feline Diabetes Message Board, but that was over 10 years ago and I haven't done anything like that since, so feel like I am new at all of this.

Gwenny has a long history of problems.  She has periodically peed around my place, for no decernible reason.   She has always been antisocial and cranky--her nickname is Grumpy.  Most of her behavior issues are written in my Behavior forum post "peeing in front of calming diffuser" -- sorry, I don't know how to include that here.  She seems to be doing a little bit better--not peeing out of the boxes as much.

My other cat, Luna, is a very lovable, normal cat.  I feel bad for her that she got stuck with grumpy Gwenny.  They get along, for the most part, but are not buddies.  

I guess that's it for now.  I have a lot of questions that I will be asking, but for now, I'm just introducing myself and my two creatures.

Aw, poor Grumpy Gwenny.  Post photos of your babies, if you're so inclined.  And welcome back!

Welcome to the site!  Sorry you are dealing with Grumpy Gwenny's urinary issues.  I have a kitty who likes to pee on my couch so I know how you feel.

Hello again. I was looking around on this website when I embarrassingly discovered I have been a member before!  I found some of my posts from several years ago--they were posts about starting a trap-neuter-return program in my neighborhood as well as other problems with Gwenny.   I received help from the collective wisdom of this group before and completely forgot!  I'm very embarrassed!  I still feel like a newbie though.  As I have already experienced, I know we will all receive great advice here.  Welcome to other newbies!

Don't be embarrassed.  If I searched myself on the internet I'd probably find all kinds of places I've signed up for and forgot about.  LOL!  Glad you're back!
