Re: Cats peeing on the outside doormat.

Marvellous, thanks Meriad.

I'll suggest that. The tip on getting rid of the niff is v useful and I have some lemon oil.

The puffy thing might freak the Yorkie out! :lol: :lol:

Cats peeing on the outside doormat.

Not sure if this should be here or not. Anyway, my parents have a problem with the cats on the block peeing on their front doormat. It's one of those fake plastic grass jobs (the coir one they had dissolved after being peed to death!). They do not have a cat. They have a dog, who frankly would like ...

Oh yes, the machine still works - it's an old treadle one and she barfed all over the lovely polished wood..... which has slightly lost its gloss now. :lol: :lol:

Re: To block the flap or not to block, that is the question.

Yes and yes..... If they don't require any further work to the door, I shall look into one and hope my landlady doesn't notice in other news, now I'm back under the covers, she's sleeping on the bed again - got kicked too often in the hot weather (was woken by a single claw in my big toe one night)....

Re: To block the flap or not to block, that is the question.

She is chipped (first thing I did when I got her), but I have a rented flat. My Landlady won't let me do anything to it.

If it were mine I'd have one of those in a heartbeat.

To block the flap or not to block, that is the question.

So you know how it is, you read one book on cat psychology and you start to worry. Minnie-Moobles likes to wake me up during the night for cuddles. I worried that this might be a stressy thing, related to the fact that the local cats like to come in and help themselves to her food and lounge on her ...

Re: Are we doing right by new cat?

We adopted a nervous 1 year old cat from a sanctuary a week ago. She was originally from a small flat with 9 cats; we don't know any more but we assume she hasn't had a very comfortable first year. The day we got her she hid in her box for hours, then found another hiding spot. She was constantly v...

Re: No breakfast for my cheeky little madam!

Oh I won't even have them in the house any more. Minnie once ate a whole box and then barfed all over my sewing machine. Unfortunately, I don't use my sewing machine every day, so it was all lovely and dry when I found it. Hammer and chisel time. I nearly put her on cat shaming. Sorry I'm not sorry.

Re: Cat furniture - how to stop your cat getting bored

I think I'll have a go at the undertable hammock. What's the worst that can happen? Miss Minnie can ignore it. That's brill, wish I'd thought of that.

But that cat house is a-mew-zing. Seen pikkies elsewhere.

How did everybody's cats get on with the thunderstorms last week? Minnie was like an ice-cube that had been dipped in liquid nitrogen..... not a stuff was given, at any point. In fact she spent most of the time curled up on the kitchen floor, waiting for meeces. Now my Mum's Yorkie did his raving nu...

She gave Sylvia a thorough sniffing over and then tried to wash her..... And I wish you could have seen the expression...

I'd check with your Borough or District Council (as opposed to the County Council) to see if they have a byelaw on flyposting, because nasty as this note is, they could well be right (I'll check with my friend who deals with local byelaws whether it's a local thing or not).
