I posted on the SOS forum about this....

I can't keep my baby Cleo for the next 8 months because my landlord found out I had her. I took her because my ex wanted to put her in a shelter for behavior urination issues.

I was just starting to get her calmed done with the urination and now I have to move her, again.


She's going to temporarily live with a fantastic woman, she's very sweet, loves cats, has 3 of her own.

I'm worried about Cleo going into the new environment, with new cats. I'm worried that she won't adjust, that'll she freak out with anxiety, and that she'll start urinating everywhere again.

The vet and I were working out things to try before putting her on meds for the urination....I'm worried this my spark her and I'll have to put her on meds for that....

She has valium for the car ride and adjustment period, which should help. But after that.........

any thoughts? suggestions? helpful advice?

There's no place like home
The other thing that folks on the board have been trying lately with success for inappropriate urine problems is a new litter called Cat Attract. I tried it, a friend of mine tried it and dougbug's friend tried it, and it really does draw them to the litter box. You can find it at Petsmart. It's pricey, but I've been adding it to regular scoopabe litter (a layer across the top) and that seems to do the trick. Perhaps buy this woman a bag or 2 to help her thru the adjustment period?

Thanks! I'll definitely pick some up before next weekend.

I've got a whole list of stuff going with her....litter, food, cleaner for if she does urinate, citrus spray, toys...

Feel free to give me other suggestions!!
