I put a break away collar on Mi Tu. She got her paw hung in it. It
did not break away and, had I not been close by, she would have
strangled herself fighting to free herself. I don't put collars on
cats any more.

The Sentry calming collars work very well. That have the same
pheromones as the feliway. But they wear them(-:

Re: Harley I have a Felway diffuser going 24hrs a day and even
bought a cd of music that is supposed to "CALM" animals. It is
great for putting me to sleep at night, but has no effect on Harley.

Went to the store that the mattress came from. They sold me a
waterproof
cover for $40.
I got one for both of the beds in the house. The man says it
works great
for pet problems. I put the cover under the mattress pad. I hope
it works.
I put vinegar/water on the soiled spot and it dried quickly with the
ceiling fan on high.
We have a recently adopted cat and there are some battles going on
in the
house. I might try the feliway diffuser.
Oh, also I wanted to add that my couch is covered with carpet
protector
that is held onto the couch with upholstery Twist Pins. On top of
that are
two slipcovers. That's how I have my couch protected. It's
pretty comfy.
Who was that on this board who said to let the cats have the house
and the
humans can live in the closets? ha ha ha

For the summer, you can get either the disposable large size pads
or the
adult mattress pads that are sold at medical supply shops for
adults with
bladder incontinence. Hey, I'm the queen of waterproofing. With
all the
cats I have had, there has always been a bed wetting problem with
at least
one or two of them. Instead of screaming and tearing my hair out
and
dumping the cat out the door, I used some of my elderly mom's
disposable
mattress pads for a while. She actually wasn't incontinent but she
couldn't walk so needed a bed pan, so just in case...I would use
the
mattress pads. Then I purchased several of the washable types
when one of
my very old cats began thinking the bed was her litter box. You
can also
purchase a zippered waterproof mattress cover, then put a regular
quilted
mattress topper over it and just toss the topper into the washing
machine
if someone makes a mistake, sponge the waterproof cover with
rubbing
alcohol. It's a good deodorizer after it evaporates. But in the
summer,
if you don't want to feel you are being shrink wrapped, you can
use the top
removable types and either toss into the wash or toss into the
garbage if
they are disposable. The washable are more economical. You can
even make
up the bed in the morning and then put a fitted waterproof
mattress topper
over the whole thing to keep everything good while you are gone.
If an
accident happens, you just whisk the cover off and you are ready
for
sleeping in the bed.
For the nasty drip into the mattress I would recommend an enzyme
type odor
eliminator. I used to use Petzyme, which you can purchase at
PetsMart. It
doesn't have any added scent as a cover up. Sometimes I think I
prefer the
odor of cat pee to those awful "perfumes" they dump into
deodorizers. When
you use the enzyme type deodorizer, you have to make sure the
spot stays
wet for at least 24 hours. If it dries out, by-by little
beneficial
bacteria and the enzyme doesn't work.
You can Google cat urine neutralizer or deodorizer and see what
you come
up with. There are many brands and many prices.
Spay and Neuter your cats and dogs and your weird relatives and
nasty
neighbors too!
