Guess what?

katiewhompus

I'm here, just moping around because my stomach hurts and I've been moody as hell today. I blame it on my boss leaving me alone with my stupid coworker and having to proctor a state mandated test.

Tlv - Want some of my seedlings? I over planted like crazy!! Surely they'll survive being mailed....ok maybe not.

Lost cliffhangers were the worst, and the seasons would start in like February so you'd have to wait so long.
I'd have to watch the season finale again before the show started the new season because I would totally forget what had happened.

LTB- what is your cat doing?  Is he/she going to the bathroom in the same place outside the litter box?

I've had this problem.  Did you change the type of litter or location of the box?  Some cats can get out of whack really easily.  If anything changes, they don't recognize their box. 

EDIT: MY CAT had this problem, not "I".  I don't pee in a box.

[QUOTE]I'm googling ideas for how to convince my cat to use the litter box again and waiting for Deadliest Catch to come on. Speaking of sangria, my favorite one by Yago and I found that the liquor store near us carries it for $5. Can't beat that price!

I have a cat with this problem.  He's gone to the vet, full work up, nothing wrong with him.  Most of the time he's good with the litter box, but about once a week I'll walk into a room and I can just smell it.  Most recently, he peed on a pillow on our guest bed.  I guess he's not thrilled about future IL's visit this weekend either.  Such a PITA

Ha I don't need any seedlings at the moment, I think I'm already in over my head! Plus I have to move my peonies and I'm afraid they'll die. I know I'm supposed to move them in the fall, but I didn't even know they were there then, and now it's either try to move them and hope for the best or cover them in concrete.

STOP JUDGING ME!

I won't judge you unless you pee on your own dress. 

katiewhompus

Ltb - If he poops outside the box pick it up and put it in the box. Sounds stupid I know, but it can remind them where their bathroom is.
Also Stain and Odor Remover by Simple Solution is amaaaazing.

Tlv- VA weather is screwing with me lately. Last week I put all my seeds in, they all sprouted, and it was 90 degrees so I was massive watering. So last weekend I bought some tomato seedings and put my peppers in. Freaking temperature dropped to 35 and we had frost So far they seem to be ok though.

kikibaby

I've never peed on my clothing... well, not in the last 20 years or so.

LTB- that sucks, it's gotta be frustrating.  Sounds like you're doing all the right things so far.

Have you tried putting a 2nd box down?  maybe even a small one?  i know some cats want 2 separate boxes, 1 for each business  Maybe she has decided to get picky?

<div>Yeah we have separate boxes for our guys. </div>

I wish that would have worked for my fatboy.  my oldest cat terrorizes him, so I'm guessing that's the problem.  maybe he just needs some kitty valium

thesuninherhead

There's a good cat forum on about.com that could provide some advice. 

 

I second the second litter box suggestion (preferably in another location, if you can find one). Also, do make sure that the rug is completely urine free- you can use a blacklight to check for urine. They'll smell it when we don't, so that could be the issue.

 

Hopefully the cat behavioural specialist has some ideas!

Not much to add to the cat problem... I will have a cat soon though so I'm sure I will have lovely stories about where they pee.

And I wish I had some sort of alcoholic beverage around here. FI actually just told me on the phone to go out and get myself a bottle of wine, which is interesting because usually he tells me the opposite, but I think I am too lazy. Perhaps I should watch a movie instead? I am unsure.

kellyjellybelly

It's more like the one cat just walks up to him and sits and stares at him.  Fatboy hates it.  It's kind of like the "I'm not touching you" thing with 5 year olds.  Then they end up fighting, which i don't understand, because Fatboy outweighs Halo by about 10 pounds, and he has all his claws.  Halo came front declawed.  Halo, you're not going to win buddy.  

Never thought about the covered box though - they are all covered cause all my boys dig and throw little like crazy.

Hopefully not!  I have 4 cats (yeah, i know) and have never had a problem with any of them until the last one arrived.  I should send him back out into the field where I found him...  he can pee on whatever he wants out there.<div>I kid, I kid</div>

kikibaby

It just started hailing like a mofo here!  I can barely hear the TV.  Whoa.

Sarah- I say go get a bottle of wine, THEN watch a movie.

[QUOTE]I'll check out about.com. Sarah - I vote getting wine. And completely random, but do you know of any good places in Newark near the college that would be good for wedding pictures? We're changing our venue and it doesn't have a nice outdoor area for pics.
Posted by lovethebeach16[/QUOTE]

Hm, what kind of feel are you looking for? And can I ask what town your reception venue will be in?

Off the top of my head, I think that the main campus green in general might be a good place for pictures, if you like greenery and Georgian architecture. There are lots of Greek temple fronts and columns on the buildings, and there are some cool arches along the paths next to Memorial Hall that might make a neat backdrop for pictures. Also, a lot of the buildings along Main Street have neat architectural details if you look at them closely enough. The southern half of the quad in front of the library has a nice fountain with flowering shrubs (not sure whether they're still flowering though).

Let me think about it some more and I might come up with a few more thoughts.

[QUOTE]Just something that will make neat pictures. I know, how descriptive. I've only drove past the campus so I had no idea what the buildings look like. I really like the fountain idea. I wonder how busy it will be on a Friday night in the middle of September. The venue is FBILs restaurant. I'll PM you the name. Thank you for the suggestions so far.
Posted by lovethebeach16[/QUOTE]

Got your PM! That entire stretch of road from the restaurant to Newark is interesting, so I'm going to think some more. Maybe White Clay Creek?

I've gotta be honest, I haven't even read any other post on this thread but I had to respond because I LOVE boxed wine... Franzia... blush... the only way to go.

And I like Andre's. $4 for a bottle of chammy?? Why yes, I think I will!
