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.

  Don't bother.  Trixie peed on the Feliway plug in.  I saved a lot of money on 
refills right there.

A little more on the topic of pee

2007-05-28 Thread Susan Hoffman
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.

even clean the bathroom litterbox before stepping into the shower on a workday

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.

They definitely know what they are doing.  I've used Feliway to calm cats and 
an alternative vet recommends Cat Nap and various flower essences including 
Rescue Remedy.  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.

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.

 The toaster oven is NOT safe UNLESS you remember to ALWAYS close the
 door! My Sunset became annoyed when I went out of town overnight 
 she peed into the toaster oven. I didn't suspect a thing until I
 tried to toast an English muffin. The stench was horrible! So do
 NOT assume that toaster ovens are safe. Cats are VERY creative.
 Remember what Fluffy did to my friends' winshield washers!

 by cats on either side. I smell what smells like a skunk. So I
 assume we have a skunk in the yard. Not the first time. No big
 deal. I think nothing of it.
 
 Next morning my roommate mentions the skunk to me. And how he was
 making toast at the time. And how he felt a little ill after
 eating the toastSlowly, it dawns on us. That was no
 skunk. Trixie peed in the toaster. AND HE ATE IT! Is that why
 Trixie was giggling?
 
 Larry is convinced that Trixie did this on purpose. She knows
 mommy NEVER eats toast. He's probably right.
 
 The toaster has been replaced by a toaster over. But I think I
 caught Trixie reading the schematics. She's very clever.
 
 If Trixie offers you toast, decline.

Oh I know they do it on purpose.  One of my cats left a nice brown

i get such a kick out of the experts who say that cats don't
do this on purpose, or don't hold grudges. have they never
LIVED with them?? the little beasts know EXACTLY what
they're doing, i'm convinced of it! and, yes, are giggling
behind their paws as we discover their gifts and surprises!

Oh, we always close the door.  Same with the microwave. 
We close doors on toaster ovens and microwaves to protect

the food that we've hidden from the cats.
 
My mother was punished this morning for not getting up and

cleaning litterboxes quickly enough.  She awoke to the
smell of poop.  Two of her cats had managed to poop down a
heating vent.  At least she has until winter to take the
thing apart and clean it out.
