How to Deal With Cats Who Pee in all the Wrong Places and Even Wet the Bed…. Yours!

October 8, 2018 By Joi

Princes Huck

Cats are peculiar, wonderful, amazing, adorable, intelligent, peculiar, entertaining, precious, beautiful, peculiar, and then some. Did I mention they were peculiar? Because they most certainly are.

You could have 50 cats in the course of your life (if you’re lucky) and odds are no two will ever be quite the same in temperament, personality, and manners. What’s even more fascinating to me is that you could (at any one given time), have three from the same litter and each will probably be completely original. They may look alike, but few ever act alike.

Many people experience, firsthand, just how different and peculiar cats can be when it comes to their pottying behaviors and habits. I hear from people often who have cats that get pretty creative with their peeing habits. Some cats, who have a diversion to litter boxes, have been known to prefer bathroom rugs, dirty clothes (these are the lucky cat parents, in my opinion), furniture, and even beds.

If your cat pees anywhere other than the litter box, you first need to take a long, hard look at the litter box.

  • Is it clean? Litter boxes need to be cleaned several times a day – not just once and certainly not once every other day.
  • If you have more than one cat, do you have more than one litter box? One box per two cats is a good ratio. Cats are very particular about their “business” and don’t want to share their sacred spot with too many others.
  • Is the litter box easy to get in and out of? Some cats (whether it’s due to age, weight, or a previous injury) have trouble getting in and out of high-sided litter boxes. Your solution may be as simple as a shorter box.
  • Is it in a safe, quiet place? Many cats are uncomfortable using a litter box that’s near loud noises (tv, dishwashers, washing machines, dryers….). In fact, if the cat in question has her “accidents” consistently in one place of the home, the location may give you a clue. We had a little girl (cat, of course!) who insisted on peeing on bathroom rugs. After I answered the two questions above with a, “Yes,” “Yes,” and a, “Yes,”  I asked myself,  “What is it about the bathrooms that she’d find more attractive for peeing than the litter box?” The answer was fast and furious – they’re quieter. The litter boxes were in another part of the house, fairly near ever-present kitchen activity and well-within earshot of ever-playing televisions. Being a very timid cat, by nature, she was apparently more comfortable in quieter settings. When you come to this type of realization, you may have to get another litter box and put it in the quietest place you can find for the rebel cat.
  • Some cats may not like a hooded litter box – most cats use whatever is available but I have heard of people having to simply remove the hood.

Dr. Elsey’s Cat Attract Litter (pictured at the right) is one you may want to try if you have a cat who has forgotten how the whole litter box thing works (or if you’re training a new cat). I’d definitely recommend clicking through and reading all about it. It sounds absolutely amazing… the thing that sold me on it was the first review at the bottom of the page.

This litter sounds like the very thing that could solve MANY cat litter problems.

If the litter box situation passes inspection, make absolutely certain the cat is healthy.

  • A quick trip to the vet can make certain your cat doesn’t have an underlying health problem.
  • Often, for reasons we humans may never understand, having a cat spayed or neutered solves the problem. Again, I have no idea why – maybe it calms them down a bit.. who knows? But I’ve seen cats suddenly accept litter boxes again once they were spayed or neutered. Seems the problem is often fixed once they are!

Bed-Wetting Cats

Now, we cat lovers know that they aren’t always the most well-mannered “toddlers.”  However, when they resort to peeing on their parent’s bed, that takes mischievousness to a whole other level! While getting to the bottom of litter, litter box, or temperament or health issues, there are a few things to do to save your sanity and your bedtime:

  • Buy a large waterproof shower curtain liner. Use it directly on top of your covers (if you don’t mind the looks of it). The “feel” of the liner turns off most cats – and, IF the bed-wetter decides to risk it all and still wet the bed, only the liner gets wet, saving your covers, sheets, and mattress.  You could always put a cheap “who really cares about this blanket anyway” directly under the liner for further protection.
  • If the liner lying on top is a turn off, buy an inexpensive comforter to place right on top of the liner… one that (should it get wet), won’t disrupt the rest of your linens.
  • If the cat has soiled your mattress, it’s a real headache to try to get rid of the smell. Febreeze just won’t “cut it.” You’ll need an Odor Neutralizer Made Specifically for Cats. Spray this on the mattress to get rid of the urine smell that their little noses can still pick up.
  • Buying a mattress cover can also put the odds back in your favor.

Whatever you do, don’t yell (and for Heaven’s sake NEVER hit) a cat. Cats are not like human children or dogs. They do not understand what you consider “discipline,” and will only think you are mean and are trying to harm or kill them. It will affect your relationship with your cat in a horrible, often irreversible way. Imagine if someone with a similar size advantage yelling at or striking you!

It simply does not work – you cannot reason with a cat. You have to outsmart them.

Go through each of the steps above and find the solution that works for your family. If it comes down to simply buying extra throw rugs and washing them frequently and using a shower curtain liner and extra covers on your bed (or shutting your bedroom door, if that’s an option) – trust me, the companionship, love, and entertainment a cat brings to your home is more than worth it.

24 Cat Toys with a 2-Way Cat Tunnel Spell the Purrfect Christmas Gift For Cats

October 6, 2018 By Joi

Well this is a must have Cat Toy Collection if I ever saw one. It went right into my Amazon cart the minute I saw it. While I’m thinking that it’ll be a great gift idea for our cats on Christmas morning, I might just break it out earlier as a diversion from the tree, presents, and other decorations.

Every diversion helps with toddlers – whether they have fur or not!

The past few Christmases, in fact, we’ve kind of done a “25 Days of Christmas” thing with our cats where we give them a new toy or something extra fun each day to help keep them occupied and the tree standing! Some days it was as simple as a paper bag from the grocery store or an emptied Amazon box.

24 pieces cat toys include a collapsible Cat Tunnel (something our cats are obsessed with), Cat Teaser Wand, Interactive Feather Toy, Fluffy Mouse, Crinkle Balls, Balls with Feathers, etc.

Getting Rid of the Ammonia Smell in Litter Boxes: Tidy Cats to the Rescue

September 20, 2018 By Joi

I saw something advertised on television about a week ago, Tidy Cats Litter with Ammonia Blocker, and it really caught my attention.

As anyone with boy cats knows, some have more of an ammonia smell in their urine than other cats do. Sometimes it has to do with illness or dehydration but, it’s been my experience that sometimes it simply is what it is and some cats have more offensive pee (as well as the other!) than others do.

I can’t prove it or back it up scientifically, but my many years as a cat mom have also made me discover that it is often males with the most ammonia smell to their urine.

Just part of being a boy, I guess!

I’ve always thought litter companies should focus on the ammonia aspect and come up with a way to neutralize it or “block” it. Purina has read this crazy cat lady’s mind… and they made it Light Weight, too, which is BY FAR my favorite cat litter to use.

I haven’t found Tidy Cats Litter with Ammonia Blocker in stores, yet, but I have found it on Amazon. Since that means they bring it right to me, that might even be better than stores!

  • 17 lb. Pail – Purina Tidy Cats Lightweight Free & Clean With Ammonia Blocker Clumping Cat Litter
  • Unscented cat litter that’s free of fragrances and dyes
  • Features odor-absorbing activated charcoal
  • Ammonia Blocker prevents ammonia odor for at least 2 weeks, guaranteed when used as directed
  • Features TidyLock technology to lock away odors

Cool Cat Tunnel Bed… For the Cat with Modern Tastes!

August 11, 2018 By Joi

  This gorgeous Tunnel Cat Bed is from Amazon and it’s one of the coolest cat beds I’ve ever seen.

The bed is inside the tunnel, providing your cat with what she/he craves most at nap time… privacy! In addition to the great shape, I love that it’s on legs. Kind of adds to the cool, contemporary vibe, doesn’t it?

The feet are solid wood, making it sturdy for even the chubbiest of cats.  I have a few of those in my own life.

Why is it that chubby cats are so ridiculously adorable anyway?!?!

Cat Toys: Best Variety Pack I’ve Found is on Amazon

June 5, 2018 By Joi

Huck with Toy

A few years ago I found a way to BOTH make Christmas last all year long AND be able to actually afford to get the things for my family (with fur and without) without breaking the bank over a span of two months: I buy things throughout the year and hide them safely away. Most of my shopping is done on Amazon – which is where I bought this great Cat Toys Variety Pack from.

I intended to save it for Christmas morning and open it for our cats… but… well… as you can see, things don’t always go as planned.

Dokkie and Delilah with Cat Toys

When UPS brought the Amazon box, the cats came running. They know that an UPS delivery always, always, always means they get a new box to play with. When they gathered around, I couldn’t help but think what a fun afternoon it’d be if I gave them this gift early.

As you can see, the thought of it was more than I could fight off and we had a little Christmas in May party right then and there!

Dokkie and Cat Toys

Their excitement and joy was palpable and reminded me of kids… the ones that walk on two feet (generally) and aren’t covered with hair… on Christmas morning. Furry kids get just as excited – going in circles, not knowing which toy to play with first.

If you have cats, you know exactly what I mean when I say that I’m not sure who enjoyed themselves more – them or me.

Babies with Toys

This is a wonderful Cat Toys Variety Pack – it was even better than I’d expected it to be. For such a great price (between $12 – $13), I wasn’t sure what kind of quality to expect from each individual toy. I was surprised and delighted to see that the quality was excellent. Each toy is very, very well made and is standing up to intense play perfectly!

Cats with Toys

 

Features:

  • Contains Assorted 20 toys.
  • Keep your cat busy when you are away.
  • Give your cat a way to release his energy with this combo pack of entertaining toys. Featuring feathers, balls and catnip, mice and more this pack is the perfect choice for your furry friend.
  • supervise your pet. For play only. Not a child”s toy. Toy should be removed and replaced if excessive wear or damage occurs.
  • Holiday, birthday or everyday, this cat treats/toys gift set is just what your kitty ordered.

Dokkie and Delilah with Cat Toys 2

I tried to take several pictures to show off the variety of toys – as well as our babies enjoying them… but it’s very difficult to photograph excited, fast-moving cats!

Delilah, Dokkie, and Huck with Toys

The picture at the bottom is of Nacho and was taken a few hours after the toys had arrived and had been played with fiercely. Each cat was worn out (just like human kids!) and had found their own favorite place to recuperate and conserve energy. Nacho was in his favorite bed, resting up from all the activity – I pranced one of the toys in front of him and he sat right up.

Sure enough, he hopped back up and decided it was playtime again. The girls (one at a time) all joined in and we had another round.

In the weeks since, the toys are played with again and again. I like to gather them all together and present them like I did that day – the excitement is the same each time.

Again… I am not sure who enjoys it all the most, but I think she might just be typing these words.

Tree Cat Condo… What Cat Wouldn’t Love This?!

April 30, 2018 By Joi

If you’re anything like THIS cat mom, you’re always on the lookout for things that’ll inspire, amuse, and entertain your cats – things that’ll rock their little worlds and blow their little minds. The cat tree condo, pictured above, would do all the above and then some.

As I said in a previous article, Tips for Keeping Your Indoor Cat Active and Entertained, boredom is one of the worst things for a cat. Indoor cats are more prone to boredom than outdoor cats, so it’s up to us to keep them on their tiny toes! Not only does it allow your cat to climb, it allows her to do her favorite thing in the world… hide and spy on her humans.

  • Cat condo designed for cats up to 32 pounds in weight. Easy to assemble cat furniture, less than 15 minutes, no tools required.
  • Cat tree house intended for indoor use, fits great in any room.
  • Cat tower perfect for jumping, scratching, climbing, and relaxing.
  • Made from pressed wood, carpet and artificial leaves, great for cats’ innate instinct of hiding within nature. Made in USA and Imported.
  • Square base, 24 inches covered with artificial turf and 2 carpeted perches of 22 and 18 inches in diameter.

Not only is this cat tree EXACTLY what your cat has been looking for all of her lives, it’s downright beautiful, isn’t it? It’d look great in any room of your house… especially with your adorable cat peeking out!

Cat Water Drinking Fountain: Purrfect in Every Pawsible Way! (Sorry, I Had To)

April 18, 2018 By Joi

Our cats (like most cats) are absolutely infatuated with sinks… more specifically with sink water. When I make the faucet drip or when I create a small flow for them, they all but lose their little kitty minds! I’m not sure if it’s the fact that the water is extra cold or if it’s the fact that it’s moving – but there’s something about water from a faucet that makes them nose to tail happy.

Since I’m never happier than when my furry babies are nose to tail happy, I went shopping on Amazon for water drinking fountains. I’ve found the one we want and it’s shown here.

The PetSafe Cat Water Drinking Fountain is the best-looking one I found on Amazon and it carries a little “tag” I always look for when shopping on my favorite shopping site, “Amazon’s Choice.”  This screams, “QUALITY!” to me, so it’s the first thing I notice when shopping – especially when I’m shopping for something as important as cat products!

FEATURES

  • 100 oz. water capacity is great for pets of all sizes
  • Free-falling stream entices pets to drink more water
  • Includes replaceable carbon water filter that removes bad tastes and odors, keeping water fresh
  • Upper and lower dish provides two drinking areas for pets; elevated dish is great for senior or arthritic pets

Litter Box Tips and Troubleshooting

February 27, 2018 By Joi


Nacho

Is the Litter Box Clean Yet?!

A while back I wrote about what I consider to be the best litter boxes and best cat litter. Click either link to see the post – these really are the best litter boxes I’ve ever seen and I wouldn’t switch to a new brand of cat litter if you paid me to.

I wanted to kind of expound on the previous a post a little with a few troubleshooting tips. Before doing so, though, I have to tell on our cats. They consistently do something that, if I didn’t know better, I’d swear they were doing on purpose. Whenever anyone is coming over for a visit, they somehow do their business right before they arrive. It’s absolutely uncanny, but at least one of them will do it each and every time. What’s worse is the fact that they don’t do it 10 or even 5 minutes before someone pulls into the driveway… they do it, like a minute beforehand OR (in a move that probably earns them bonus “cat points,” they’ll do it just as someone is pulling up the driveway!). Fortunately, I keep a cleaning station beside the litter boxes so there’s always a bag handy.

I’ve learned to keep my antibacterial hand sanitizer nearby too.  It is just so peculiar that they do this so regularly.

Something else they do that amuses me is they flock to a clean set of litter boxes… I mean FLOCK to it. It always reminds me of an artist with a clean canvas. “I must do what I must do!!”

Cats!

Back to litter box tips and troubleshooting. I hear from a lot of cat parents who have questions you, yourself, may have. Ironically, the first question is one I’ve actually personally had to deal with… so I know, firsthand (or maybe I should say first-elbow) that the struggle is real!

What’s the easiest way to handle cat litter duties with a bad elbow?

This question gets me where I live. I have tendonitis in my right elbow that flares up from time to time. While that may not sound terribly bad, the fact that the pain is especially bad AND that each flare  up lasts for weeks on end makes it worse than it sounds.

As you can imagine, cleaning a litter box makes a painful elbow even more painful. However, there are a few easy tips that’ll help you if you’re in the same (or a similar) boat.

  1. Buy cat litter in a tub as opposed to a box. This way you can keep a large old plastic cup to scoop out litter to add to the litter box(es). This is much, much easier than picking up a cumbersome, heavy box each time you want to add more litter.
  2. In addition to buying cat litter in tubs, I buy the lightweight litter. The lightweight litter is, as you’d expect, much lighter. Whether you have elbow, shoulder, or back issues or you simply aren’t very strong (I know the feeling!) – lightweight cat litter is much easier to dish out and scoop up.
  3. Speaking of scooping… there’s actually a simple solution at the end of your arm. Using a metal cat litter scoop (like the DuraScoop Metal Jumbo Cat Litter Scoop on Amazon pictured here) instead of the ever-popular plastic one, is actually much easier to scoop with. We’d need someone much better versed in science to explain why this is, but it makes a big difference. What’s more, using a “jumbo” size, like the one pictured below, makes it even easier.

 How can I know if I’m nose-blind to litter box smells?

This is a good one! The first answer that pops to my mind is this:  Have someone (a friend or family member) who you KNOW will always be truthful with you keep you honest. Tell them to let you know if they ever smell either litter, ammonia, or the cat’s business. Be sure to explain that it’s not an insult to you (or your cat!) and that neither of you will get sore. Let them know what a huge favor they’re doing for you. If the time comes where they DO smell something other than what you want them to smell – ask yourself if you’ve been cleaning the litter box regularly (more than once a day). Also, determine if you’ve recently dumped out the whole shebang and cleaned the box and area around the box. If you’ve done each of these things, then you may want to switch cat litter.

I live in a small apartment and refuse to even think about giving up my cats (they’re family!). I just don’t want my apartment to smell bad. Any advice?

First off, as a cat lover (and mom), I applaud your cattitude! They are, indeed, family!

Second of all, cats are incredibly clean, wonderful, entertaining, and loving pets. They’re so much fun and are a great source of companionship. A cat, herself, does not smell bad. Sure, the breath can be a bit much after she eats tuna, but a cat (itself) doesn’t smell bad because she wouldn’t stand for it. They’re incredibly picky about smells.

The only thing, obviously, to worry about smelling with cats are their food and their litter. If you use dry food and never allow it to get wet, you’re way ahead of the food game. As for wet food, be sure you don’t let it sit out. Only give your cat what she’ll eat then toss the rest.

As for litter box odors, the tips above as well as in the article linked to at the top will give you a great head start on staying out of a smelly situation. However, there are a few extra tips I’d like to share – they’ll serve you well whether you live in a small space or a large one.

  1. Be sure the litter box is in a well-ventilated area. Never stick one in a closet – this will simply trap the odors.
  2.  Consider an air purifier.  The one I’ve linked to, here, is a basic, inexpensive one that’ll help freshen air while reducing pet odors.  There are many shapes, sizes, and varieties of air purifiers on Amazon – click the link to have a look.  What is air purification all about? Air purifiers actually clean the air – they don’t mask odors, they remove them and leave you with freshness that doesn’t come in a can.
  3. Change the litter often. Seriously, this is so important – and yet so neglected. A cat is a very finicky little being. They do not, at all, want to do their business in an area with pre-existing waste beneath their feet. Can’t blame them! Check the litter box(es) throughout the day and clean whenever something catches your eye.
  4. When you’ve cleaned the litter box, don’t allow the bag of waste to just sit in your trash can, it’ll begin to smell.
  5. Use a little baking soda in the litter box to help absorb odors. Personally, I use the one in the litter box aisle that’s lightly scented and made just for litter boxes. It smells pretty AND does a great job of keeping odors away.
  6. Don’t spray air sanitizer directly over the litter or on the cat’s breathing level.

I have asthma and I often wheeze after cleaning the cat box. What can I do to prevent this problem?

This is another question that hits close to home. I, too, have asthma. I’ve found that lightweight litter produces less “dust” when I’m cleaning the litter box and, therefore, makes it a much cleaner and less toxic environment for my lungs.  CatSpot makes a fascinating litter that is made from 100% coconut (See CatSpot 100% Coconut Litter). It’s all natural, lightweight, and dust-free. This would be the first cat litter I’d try if traditional cat litter bothered my breathing. Unless you have an allergy to certain types of cat litter, I’m certain it’s the dust that comes up when you clean the cat’s box.


Finally, here’s a problem a lot of cat parents run into…

I clean the litter box throughout the day and yet, no matter what room I’m in, I can still smell litter! It’s driving me crazy. Why does the smell of litter follow me everywhere?

Short answer? Because it’s probably on your clothes and in your nose! Sorry to gross you out, but the dust that visibly comes up when you’re cleaning the box(es) can (and does) get onto your clothes and even in your nostrils. You can alleviate the clothes problem by wearing an old flannel button up top backward (or jacket, raincoat, whatever…) over your clothes and tossing it into the laundry after the fact.

As for the nostrils, you could always grab a box of mouth masks to use or you could keep it simpler by tying a bandanna around your mouth/nose each time. I’ve also heard of people sticking pieces of tissue into each nostril while cleaning.

Personally? I just buy lightweight, dust-free litter and it alleviates the problem all together.
