Iceheart Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Are they hanging their butts out of the box? Mooch does that - digs a hole to pee in, and then proceeds to overshoot and pee on the floor next to the box... with all four paws in the box while doing so.

irishdancer2 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Does Jack-Jack know you refer to him as retarded? Oh, yes. I tell him that on a regular basis "Special" is the word you want, Irish He's certainly... something. My mom took a video of it on her phone. I'll try to get it up tonight.

monkeygirl Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Spam, maybe a trip to the vet is in order? That's always my first clue that something's wrong with one of my pixies. When they're all healthy, they have perfect litterbox manners. Pigboy was a BIG fan of the flinging-I think he assumed he was being judged on it.

Ms. Spam Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Okay. So check this out. Tami! I made an appointment to take both of them in on Tuesday. However, I may have gotten a clue last night to the mysterious pee issue. I have a tiny condo and my bedroom and bathroom are en suite with the litter box between the toilet and the bathtub. It's a tall litter box with the lip that rises up about 8 inches in an effort to contain flung litter. About 2 AM last night, I hear Little come of out his hidey spot in the closet from one of the shoe boxes and he's scratching around in the box. Lama sleeps on my legs at night and as soon as she hears the scratch of litter she leaps off the bed and goes into the bathroom and doesn't even give Little a moment to squat. She leaps in the box with him and starts flinging litter and trying to kiss Little on the head and in general won't leave a man to do his business in peace. So he gives up and jumps out of the box but not because he no longer has to go, he just figures he can pee on the box. So he does. While she is just making a mess and stuff. As soon as she realized LIttle was gone, she jumped out of the box and ran to pounce on him. We are going to try two litter boxes. We already have a food issue. When I took Little to the vet the last time we found a lump and discovered he had a benign tumor and he was a little underweight. So he gets a special meal to kind of fatten him up of cooked chicken thighs and rice and has to be kept away from Lama because she thinks everything is hers. When she comes over he defers to her. She gets firsts with him even though he's the older cat. EVERYTHING is La's. I can't even grade papers at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms. Spam Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 My two after I wake up first thing in the morning and go to brush my teeth. Little jumps up in the warm spot and settles in. You can see the closet door is cracked for him. Nanner likes to wake me up so she has the I see you look on her face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms. Spam Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 For sho'! I picked her up yesterday to get her off some calligraphy papers I was making for a friend who is getting married and she's like a solid little brick of cat. She's getting weighed on Tuesday. In this picture she is six weeks old. She is now 2.25 years old and your typical female cat. When I got her fixes two years ago in March, she weighed 3 pounds 12 ounces in American weight: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeygirl Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 JESUS she's gettin' big! And yeah-that sounds like your litterbox issue is identified! They're such odd little creatures. Jesús has been sleeping on my legs when I sit on ther couch-just all of a sudden, for the past few days. That cat must weigh 50 ****ing pounds now.

Ms. Spam Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 We raise 'em healthy up in this nightly house! I'm still taking them to the vet anyways. Little needs his check up. Why do the heavy cats love our legs? I won't move because they're so cute, but man my legs fall asleep under all that weight. Plus they're like little furnaces of burning coal. The fur is WARM.

Ms. Spam Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Oh and another thing I've learned. Hide your good ear phones for your mp3 player. I have a nice pair of sony bass headphones with the noise cancelling thing and she can't resist them. I find them tangled up with my mp3 player dragged all over the house if I don't put them away from her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeygirl Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 Yeah, too late. I've been through that. Also, because this is an old house, I use rubber suction cups to put Christmas lights up on the windows. Jesús spends the holidays prying them from the windows and stashing them for play later. I find DOZENS of them all over the house for the rest of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishdancer2 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 He'd tell you if it was okay to move! My dog is being put to sleep in the next couple days. He started having seizures a couple weeks ago out of the blue, and the vet thinks it's a brain tumor. He's old and wouldn't be able to handle chemo even if we could afford it, and the anti-seizure medicine combined with the tumor symptoms make it so he can hardly stand up.

Sorry to hear that, Irish. It is never an easy decision to make, but it sounds like you are making the right one. He won't be in pain. Wish I could be there to give you a hug.
