I have two siamese cats ages 4 and 3. I also have a 1 year old pembroke welsh corgi. All have seemed to get along and none had ANY behavior problems. One cat was fine with the dog's herding tendencies and the other just knew to move out of the way if she didn't like it. In the last 6 months since we have given the dog free roam when we are away from the house, the second cat has started urinating in closets. When I come home I can tell that the dog has spent the entire time trying to "play with" the cats and sleep with them. I think the dog thinks it is a game and the cat doesn't care for it. I used a special formulated urine odor removal product and treated the carpet. This morning I noted that she not only urinated but also deficated in the closet. I am considering caging the dog when we are not home, but we are very homey people and are home most of the time so this won't curb things much. What else can I do to avoid my husband insisting on the cat being placed elsewhere?
THANK YOU!
