It has taken me almost 16 months to get Rumpy to accept that he needs a cleaning of his bottom just about daily. With the steroids he is now on we do get whole weeks of clean bloomers but... he can be messy. He used to be trained to run into the bathroom for a treat (and wash) but when we moved down here it changed. It was always a trick to get a hold of him as he "knows" and then he would be more difficult the next time. The past week after a cleaning all I say is "treat" and he runs up for a treat since he has been a good boy letting me clean him up. And he is not difficult to touch for 2 days. Now if I can get him to stop his impromptu attacks my anxiety will be lessened. He is so loving I would put in three times this effort.

But I do find they always make a mess when I've just, earlier that day, washed the floor or vacuumed. It's like a magnet! <br /><br />Can you move the library box over the spot Cammie was peeing in? I suppose she'll just move her spot...Sakuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11508656442667275102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-91788735210845770772020-03-03T21:43:18.291-08:002020-03-03T21:43:18.291-08:00Yes.Yes.neora chanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11481910906695345356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-65146121521191308142020-03-03T11:11:44.127-08:002020-03-03T11:11:44.127-08:00Indeed.Indeed.John Bellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10946140614088069665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-39204155027430376112020-03-03T08:26:36.676-08:002020-03-03T08:26:36.676-08:00Cammie certainly has had plenty of challenges this...Cammie certainly has had plenty of challenges this past year. it is, of<br />course, no pleasure to clean up outside the litter box, but our cats<br />don't have any idea.

But we happily (?) deal with the litter box issues or medical issues because that's what makes our cats unique. We love our cats just the way they are, and in their own way, they love us even with all of our faults. And when push comes to shove, we wouldn't have it any other way.Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08993528390901569340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-11410963947048455822020-03-02T13:48:07.783-08:002020-03-02T13:48:07.783-08:00Bottled purrs...

The vomiting is quite different, so you may be right about the hairball. I'm loathe to give her anything for it, but I will keep watch. And yes, I think the poor girl just was thrown off her routine by the closed library door, and pooped where she had to. I won't close the door anymore. washing soaker pads is a small price to pay for my princess's peace of mind.John Bellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10946140614088069665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-7541117801087544232020-03-02T13:16:48.687-08:002020-03-02T13:16:48.687-08:00purrhaps cammie is trying to expel a hairball { ne...purrhaps cammie is trying to expel a hairball { necessity } and it has nothing to do with the food switch { hooray } and the rug incident just an accident { ??? } ♥♥♥♥da tabbies o trout townehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716543768517442543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-70950706658424336992020-03-02T12:48:09.997-08:002020-03-02T12:48:09.997-08:00I've had two cats who were "problematic&q...I've had two cats who were "problematic"--namely, we couldn't stop them from urinating on the floor.
