My kitten peed under my computer!

[Aelia Jusa]

*sigh* luckily the carpet underneath our computer desk could be removed and thrown out. Boy, cat piddle smells!

Anyway, Tuppence is almost two, she knows perfectly well where her litter trays are and she still goes in them most of the time! But for some reason she decided under the desk would be a great place to go a few times. I don't know what to do with her!! When she was a baby and first came to live with us she used lucerne litter, which she used a bit then decided it was gross (which it was ) and refused to use it and went in the corner instead. So we changed to fine clumping litter and she started going 5 times a day it was so much fun to dig in it lol . The novelty wore off but she still seems to like digging in it and doing her business. And yet she goes under the desk as well!

Anyone have any suggestions on what I can do?

And no, I don't have a cat, and don't have a clue. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

LOL, Aelia, has anything changed at your house? New pet, boyfriend, etc.? Cats are notorious for peeing on shoes and such when they are upset at their "owners." I made Galadria convert her worthless cat from an inside to an outside cat when she piddled on Piestrider's bedspread, and she had to wash and dry the whole thing. For deoderizing, there are several good commercial roducts on the market, but I use tomato juice forllowed by white vinegar.

Rest assured Lord of Alcohol is here with the answer to your problems!!! [img]smile.gif[/img] Put the cat on to a clay pigeon launcher. Have a freind or relative stand by. Say "PULL" and then shoot the offensive kitty with a shotgun as it flies through the air! With practice you can shoot two of them! [img]smile.gif[/img] This is also a recomended method for getting rid of neighborhood strays. A real challenge is to bundle up a whole litter of kittens and see how many you get!

Get a dog

ROFL LoA! Hmm I could put our poodle in as well... double trap? [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]

Well I won't be making her an outside cat, Attalus, I have enough to worry about without adding worrying about her getting run over or getting into fights and such . Does tomato juice stain? I don't think there's been anything new happening here, no extra visitors or schedule upsets or anything [img]graemlins/confused2.gif[/img]

Bad Tuppence, BAD BAD Tuppence .

OK, after that, what else could you do? The 5 most promisimg ideas I could come up with are :

1) Move house
2) If you can't beat them, join them (the great unwashed set that is) - turn hippy and form a commune
3) Shift the computer to your bed room, and board up the ole computer room
4) Take Tuppence to one of your Arts classes to demonstrate how civilised cats behaved over the centuries.
5) The low capital intensity solution - nose pegs [img]smile.gif[/img] .

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful Miss Aelia maam - as you know, I gots me no experience with cats or little uns [img]smile.gif[/img] .
