A friend of mine had an older cat that used to spray on things that were out of place. During a move the cat would spray everything in boxes and bags. Someone told her to put Cayenne pepper on the bags and the cat would not spray them. She did it and it worked. Is this not a good idea? I am...

I didn't report the shooting because from prior experience I know that the police in this area don't do much other than place the report. When my car was stolen and recovered the theif left all kinds of evidence in the car including credit card purchase receipts and a work picture id from one...

He was an inside cat that occassionally would sneak out. I'm not sure how it happened. I left to run to the store and came back half hour later and my back door was open which I always left closed but rarely locked. There was blood on stairway heading to my kids room. I quickly checked all...

I don't have a scanner or digital camera to send pics but when I saw Oscar and Sammycat I did a double take to see if they were mine. Mewpurr is the spitting image of Oscar and Jayda looks like Sammycat with big green eyes. Then I have Jaspurr he is orange and white tabby with no tail.

My cat Jaspurr since his shooting has been the greatest. I had him neutered when I took him to get his stitches out. He is just so snuggly now. He never liked to be held before, now he is my baby. I'm not sure if its the neutering or the trust he developed while he was injured/recovering...

I don't know how many cats you have in your home but as odd or gross as this sounds I could tell by the odor of the cat. The cat that was spraying would smell of cat spray after the act. I have three cats two females and one male. I would sometimes come home to somewhat fresh spray and after...

Jaspurr is doing much better today. His appetite is back. He's going in on Friday to have he drain removed and make sure everything is ok. He's getting pain meds every eight hours and an antibiotic. I'm ok with the bill it was the only thing I could do and what was best for him. Last night...

Its been a while since I posted but you wouldn't believe the day we have had. I got home and my cat Jaspurr was bleeding. I picked him up and he screamed. I paniced and took him to nearest animal hospital. I was then informed that he had been shot with a BB gun. They did surgery, Jaspurr is...

I have the same sort of problem. I took in a cat about six months ago and if it sees a stray cat or dog outside it sprays from one window to the next in my living room. I have followed the advice here and used the enzyme cleaners, neutralizers, citrus sprays and the black lights and nothing...

Ok I read the behavior stuff. I didn't know females could spray. I've learned quite a bit. I used my son's black light, how scary. Just for the heck of it I went in my bathroom. Yikes!!! I thought I did a pretty good job cleaning in there but apparently I just smeared it around. Yuck...

I recently moved so its been a while since I posted. The female cat I took in has started urinating all over my house. What can I do to get rid of the smell and what can I do to stop this behavior? I took her in on Halloween. She was approximately 3 or 4 months old at the time. At about 5...

Thank goodness I got married, my maiden name would be Poopsie Cootietush but now I'm Poopsie Applebrain. The funny thing is in high school my friends really used to call me Poopsie. I'd much rather be known as an Applebrain than at Cootietush. LOL

Mewpurr is going in on Feb 12th Its going to be $115 which I know is low cost but its still going to hurt. FYI - The phone number for the Michigan Humane Society of Huron Valley is wrong. They had an area code change. The new area code is (734). I wasn't sure how to edit it.

Mewpurr was to my guesstimation about 6 months tops. She now looks the size of a full grown female. I need to take her in first because of her peeing. She peed around my couch just before Christmas (what a Christmas present) which is about the time she, I thought was going to go into her...

Well my cat Mewpurr had her kittens last week she had, I think two. She apparently had them in the middle of the day while I was at hospital with sick kids (both kids had very bad asthma attacks for first time). I'm guessing that mewpurr had them and did not know what to do with them. I'm...
