That sounds great especially the drain in the middle of the floor. A couple
years ago I spent 8,000.00 to tear up carpet and replace with top of the 
line
wood laminate all through my house. One month later the seams starting 
lifting
and now I have messed up floors. The manufacturer said the warranty does 
not

cover cat urine. I need something I can clean with bleach and soap. Guess

   Yes..The torti is a very special kitty...She not only is one of my FeLV+ kitties but she was very feral when she arrived here...I have had lots of strays the love a person that takes them in right away but she was my 1st feral...

 
 
Tad:
 
Yet another of us that are owned by house ferals.  We have several sharing our home.  We got Chicky Feathers and his littermates (also leuk +) when they were about 12 or 14 weeks.  Chicky and a couple of the littermates lived behind our refrigerator for three years (hence his name).  If we were in the room, you'd never know that they were there.  We too used to watch them behind the cover of something.  Like you said, there must be a colony instinct as they didn't take long at all to greet and adjust to the other "kitchen" kitties.  After about six months, they would come out to eat at the feed tray if we were in the room and like you we'd get a couple of pets in before we were admonished.

 
Chicky is the last remaining one of that group - we lost his sister, Earth Mother, this spring.  Chicky is going on 14 yrs old now and will sometimes allow us to pet him if we bring food - LOL - or he is sitting in the group on top of the cages.  While Earth Mother actually got to where she would come to us for pets from time to time, Chicky never has.  

 
He recently injured his ear and we thought for sure that it would be a major undertaking getting him into a carrier and to the vet.  He actually let us pick him up and put him in the carrier and while at the vet he was totally docile during treatment.  He has to be sprayed with this medication twice a day and he let us.  But the sore is almost healed and he is getting tired of it - now when we come towards him, he backs up, turns his head away so we can't reach it and gives us a large his and "the look".

 
Hang in there - you are making great progress in only six months.  Again, thanks for sharing pictures of your family.  Now I'll know where to go when I need a Meezer fix.

FeLV+ kitties but she was very feral when she arrived here...I have had
lots of strays the love a person that takes them in right away but she
was my 1st feral...
But I guess one big difference with ferals they need to be able to join
a colony readily for their survivle...I had to hide on the couch under
a blanket to watch her but I have never seen a new kitty just go around
the room and rub and chirp to all my other cats in the room...It took a
couple months before I could even look at her with out her taking
cover...After 6 months that is the 1st good picture of her that she has
let us takeWe can sneak a couple pats while she has her head in the
food bowl but then she backs off and give us an angry stare like why do
you try and do that look
But beside that she is one of the most fun cats that I have had..just
to watch her and watch her play with my 2 other playful boys..all about
2 years old...

get the sheet vinyl like i'm getting.  the top of the line stuff has a 15 year guarantee not to scratch, tear, scuff, etc the color goes all the way through.  it's 'textured' to make it look like wood grain.  it really doesn't look bad.
 
if i could afford it i would tear up the laminate in the living areas and just do the whole house in it right now, but since i can't, i'm going to keep the laminate until it starts giving me problems.
 
You can bleach the vinyl, etc and water can't get through it.

have to wash it today, it's in the "cat pee" hamper now.





 





I wouldn't suggest
replacing the rug it will just be ruined again. Rugs are a real
waste of money if you have cats.





 





I have a "rug" at
the door entrance. It's a 2 foot long cut section of
heavy-duty rubber backed high traffic carpet runner (the industrial stuff
you see at businesses in the aisles). If they pee on it, the pee stays on it,
and doesn't soak through to the carpet under it. I take it to the car wash down
the road, pour a gallon of undiluted vinegar on it, let it soak for 5 minutes,
and then spray it with the high pressure car soap (it's hot), then rinse it
with the high pressure rinse. I got it at a reduced price at the hardware
store, because it was a remnant, cost me $12 ($6 a foot).

I'm not talking about scotch office tape, I mean 
the 2 inch wide clear packaging tape, just to be clear, I know that's what you 
are referring to also. And no, my cats don't touch it, they think it will attack 
them and kill them. They are very paranoid when it comes to things that stick to 
them. They hate having their hair pulled out by the stuff, or getting it stuck 
to their paws.
 
Doobie DOES eat paper and other such things. I 
had a stray for a while (Moogie's mom) that ate plastic bags. Doobie sticks with 
generally digestible things, mostly toilet paper or junk mail. He rarely throws 
it up, he seems to digest it well, though it does make him anemic occasionally, 
so I have to dose him with what I fondly refer to as "vity-mighty-mins!" I say 
"Dbie, it's time for your Vity-mighty-mins!!!" and he RUNS as fast

more effective at pushing others out of her way...At he end of the 1st
week she was the fattest one of all...Cats always land front paws
1st..She just puts a little more weight on them...She climbs up just
like a jimnast...Gab with the front paws and pull herself up over...She
can reach the desk chair seat from the floor and the top of the dresser

One month later the seams starting lifting and now I have messed up floors. The manufacturer said the warranty does not cover cat urine. I need something I can clean with bleach and soap. Guess cement would be good.

I quite honestly did not even notice it, as the 
forth mentioned "crippled" cat was basically clobbering me with attention and 
throwing itself at me in an effort to get me to pet her... LOL... I was a bit 
preoccupied with trying to keep the crazy sweet thing from throwing herself off 
the headboard of your bed in a effort to be in my arms! I'm never met a cat so 
unaware of her own limitations! I know you SAID she can jump down and land OK, 
but I'm still going to be a bit skeptical on that issue... You really should 
post a picture of her online, so everyone can see her. It is fascinating 
how well she copes with her legs deformed as they are.
 
I said I wasn't going to reply to this thread on 
the list again, because it's so off topic now LOL! You guys are making me 
break the rules!

Clawing used to be an issue for me, they still 
shred the couch, but not the door frames anymore. I put long strips of regular 
clear packaging tape over all the door frames in scratching reach, and they 
decided they didn't like the feel of it anymore, because it's slippery and they 
can't dig in like on the bare wood, plus if they try too hard, the tape comes 
off and usually sticks on them, and they are running through the house with tape 
stuck on their bodies, like they are being attacked by a pack of coyotes... 
absolutely scares the bejesus out of them! I also, a few years back, invested in 
a absolutely WONDERFUL cat tree, I HIGHLY recommend the company to everyone now, 
my cats have SHREDDED this thing, and it still looks good, after 3 years and 5 
cats. It was a bit pricey though http://www.4yourcat.com/pussicat/index.php
I have the Mont Blanc tree, with the optional 
large base, plus I've added on a few extra parts over the years, which is what 
is so cool about these, they are completely modular, and you can re-arrange them 
and add on endlessly. I can send anyone who is interested in seeing my current 
set up a picture in private emails... my pics are too big to send via the list.

You can actually do some fairly nice looking 
floors by staining concrete, or adding a bit of pigment into the mix before you 
pour it. Oh, and I'm 100% behind the floor drain idea! Then just have a long 
hose in one central room, spray them all down as needed, squeegee them dry, and 
it's DONE!

ideal would be to have a concrete floor, radiant heating, with a DRAIN in the

the floor to create room divisions. (you know, oval flower border around the

bathroom.)

Perfect!  :)  Seriously, the last room in our house to be renovated is
the "animal room" (has the dog crates, litter boxes, etc)...the room
still has these awful carpet squares with the tell-tale "circular
stains"... :)  I've seriously considered pulling up the squares to
expose the concrete subflooring and leaving it at that!  Just need that
drain, though... :)
