| Anonymous | If you just give them dry cat food, a lot of it is just ash and it'll clog up their urinary tracts and either kill them or make you spend $1000 on an operation to unclog their peepee. | |

| glowbelly | not true about the wet cat food. it's good to give them a mix of the two. just make sure that you don't get the crap from the grocery store. get the good stuff from petsmart. science diet is good. | |

| kellychaos | I concur. Milk is bad for cats. While the calcium is good for teeth and bones, the sugar in it weakens same ... plus, as mentioned, it gives them the shits. There's enough calcium in most brands of catfood anyway. Don't buy canned catfood either. Most of them are filled with throwaway cuts of meat and fillers and also give them the shits. They need the hardness of dry food to maintain good dental health and to keep them regular. | |

clean out the litter every fucking day and after they eat put them in the litter box and scratch their paws around in it a little. if you catch them coming out of the litter box after going in it reward them with a little kitty treat. do not give your cats milk or else they will squirt poos everywhere. i recently had the same problem with my little sly guy. he was a stray who was found outside and was used to "going" wherever he damn well pleased. i followed the above instructions and he hasn't peed or poopied outside of his litter box in 2 months. it only took about 2 weeks to completely cure. |

| glowbelly | i betcha ten to one it's a dirty litter problem. if you have 3 kitties and the litter box is teeny and you don't clean it out every day and change the litter at least once a week, you're cats are gonna go elsewhere. that's just the way it is. they are clean animals and don't like to walk around in their own, let alone others, piss and shit. | |

| Hobo Renee | Is it scented litter? Maybe you could dry switching brands and surround the box with cat nip to lure them in. | |

| kellychaos | How about getting a couple more litter boxes? I don't mean to anthropomorphize cats but they DO seem self-centered and picky about things such as where they eat, sleep and relieve themselves. | |

I think the cats hate you. :/ You should rub the cat's face in it's own urine pool. They hate that. Show it who's the boss.

| Drev | Also, the Persian is a bit of a loner. Before we had her, the previous owner said her other cats would attack her, and I think she's intimidated my the 2 tabbys. | |

Well, when we had out first tabby, we has 2 seiamese (sp?) which someone killed both with a gun in our front yard for no reason.  He acted depressed for a while, but my mother found the second tabby as a kitten in the park. he looked less than 6 weeks old. We took him home, and in a few months he was better. I doubt that could be it.One guess is that one of the cats is having a urinary problem, and is peeing on thngs to tell us that he doesn't feel good. Also, the first tabby was an indoor/outdoor cat before the seiamese (sp?) were killed, and we kept him indoors since. Now both tabbys keep trying to sneak outside when we open the door. |

| Jeanette X | Can you think of anything that coincided with the increase in this behavior and may have caused it? Something that may have induced anxiety in the cats? | |

I'm sorry. It's ben happening for a while. We'd only see it a few tmes, but now it's frequent. |

| SupaFlea543 | It is so interesting to hear about your cats. How color are they? How big around the waist? | |
| Mar 12th, 2004 05:37 PM | ||
| Drev | I've had one tabby for 2 years, the other for 1 year, and the persian for like 3 months. | |

How long have you had the cats, and is this something new or has this been going on for a long time?
