Re: A little more on the topic of pee
I've never had any luck with the plug ins..always use the sprays. They work in a more concentrated area instead of trying to do the whole house/room. If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow man.

A little more on the topic of pee
This morning when I headed into the kitchen to feed everyone, I removed what I thought was a clean frying pan from the stivetop -- I use the stove as a stagingt area to get all the plates of canned catfood ready -- and put the frying pan upside down in the dish drainer. Someone had peed in the frying pan overnight and I wound up pouring cat pee all over the clean dishes in the drainer. One more morning like this and I'm going to make myself a cup of strong coffee before anyone gets a morsel of food.

Re: A little more on the topic of pee
No. They have me so well trained that I usually feed EVERYONE and will often clean all the boxes first thing, before I pour a cup of coffee for myself. I even clean the bathroom litterbox before stepping into the shower on a workday morning. They have me so well trained that, when I buy groceries, I find myself thinking about who likes the chicken quesadillas and who likes cream cheese filled pastries. I find myself buying and eating food based on their tastes more than my own. When my roommate got a new job recently very close to the house we both independently had the same though -- Oh, good. It's so close that he can come home at lunch time to give Connie her afternoon dose of anti-seizure meds. They have us very well trained.

Re: A little more on the topic of pee
I at least try to put the coffee on before starting my morning chores. You folks probably remember my Spencer... I had been missing him and made a comment that I even missed his voracious appetite and how he wouldn't allow me to dish anyone's food in peace. Just another example of 'be careful what you wish for' my newest arrival, (Bobby Spencer Clark), has taken up the torch and I am now once again not able to drink a sip of coffee before he has his breakfast. I can't wait until he understands the concept of the never-ending-food-bowl.

Feliway is supposed to help with peeing problemsI've never had to use it for that (Thank God and all the Angels) but it sure works to calm my little friends and ferals I've had treated/spayed/neutered. A black light will tell where they have gone and where extra cleaning is needed to remove odor (even that only a cat can smell) and reduce the urge to go in the same place. If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow man.

Re: A little more on the topic of pee
We had one pee on the coffee maker recently which made for a very interesting morning for my husband and I. He was completely pissed, and just looked at me in wonder when I told him if he couldn't taste the pee, then it probably wasn't in there and just to drink it, as I walked off as if it were perfectly normal. I feel as if I've introduced him to things that he would have never experienced, had he not married me...lol. :) Wendy --- Susan Hoffman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This morning when I headed into the kitchen to feed everyone, I removed what I thought was a clean frying pan from the stivetop -- I use the stove as a stagingt area to get all the plates of canned catfood ready -- and put the frying pan upside down in the dish drainer.
