Spending some quality time with Sophie cleaning the house. She vacuumed and then got on hands and knees on the carpet scrubbing the stains. They're not going to come up unless we call the carpet cleaners, I'm afraid. Possibly I'll have it done nearer the time my sister comes to visit. I'd want to do my room and the stairs as well. So that would take a lot of prep work, finding the floor and etc.
Today Crazy Betsy was unceremoniously dumped off a chair by Sophie, and in retaliation she looked straight at me as she peed on a backpack. Nuts! What the hell!
What to do with the rest of the day? I don't know when Eliz is coming back. Time to make some phone calls.
Our cat started retaliatory peeing and he kept upping the ante. Finally to our bedspread. The last straw was waking up in the middle of the night because he was peeing on my leg!!!
The vet prescribed clomipramine. I didn't want to but we didn't have a choice--I had no one to give him to and I didn't want to put him to sleep.
It started during a very stressful time for our family--my mother was ill with dementia & my daughter's husband was dying. I lived @60 miles away so I was away a lot.
He adjusted to his meds pretty quickly and is his normal self--just ratcheted down a bit.
I tried all the recommended sprays and they did nothing. Once it starts, it's hard to stop. Good luck.
