Owned by a cat
Things you do when you’re owned by a cat:
- Put a blanket on top of a box he likes instead of taking out what is in the box. He’ll get tired of sleeping there…eventually.
- At 4 in the morning, he meows at you, and before you’re awake enough to know what you’re doing you’ve opened a can of cat food, spooned it into a bowl, and he’s eaten half of it already.
- Move the cat litter out of your bedroom and into another area, then have to move it back again when he starts using your closet as his litter box.
Number 3 has already cost me half a bottle of odoban. And I’m still trying to get rid of the pee smell.
He does have his good qualities. At the moment, I can’t remember any of them. Every time he tries to get on my lap, the stench of eucalyptus-scented pee accosts my nostrils.
Is he stepping in pools of odoban on his quest to find a new place inside my closet to pee?
I can’t…I just can’t think about that possibility right now.
Is there a smell more evil than the lyptus-urine that just won’t die?
Tomorrow, I’ll burn a vanilla odor-killer candle inside my closet and hope I’m not creating another olfactory monster.
Okay, boundaries. I know it’s hard but you must. Changes must be incremental though, else the caterwauling commences and seems it will never end. My cats started getting up earlier and earlier, so I fed them dry food at five, then four a.m., and then they wanted to be fed their regular breakfast at six a.m. as well, and I finally said, no, not two meals before dawn! I did manage to end that.

Hopefully the eucalyptus/pee scent won’t attract any stray koalas !

Sounds familiar except instead of the closet, it is random items in the bedroom. 🙂

Some days, I think the only reason cats are not extinct is their purr. 😊
I can be so angry at Chilly Coon Kitty that I want to SCREAM. Then he curls up in my lap and purrs. *melt*

I have the only cat in the world that is not food orientated. I dont know how & im not complaining. My main bathroom shower is set up with Mika’s trays. Sometimes, she even goes in them! Cheers,H
