We have had no choice but to concede to the Phantom Piddler. Last month, Nocturne's peeing by the front door got well and truly out of hand. Every day she peed the spot. Feliway did nothing. Herbal spray did nothing. Tinfoil did nothing. Nothing could stop her. (She went to the vet for extensive urology testing. There is nothing physically wrong with her.) She doesn't pee anywhere else on the floor if we keep soft things (like clothes and rugs) off of it, but that ONE SPOT, she peed the bare floor, right by the front door, 8 days in a row. There was really only one thing to do. We moved the litterbox out of the hall closet and put it right by the front door, right over the pee spot. And it's now been three weeks and not a SINGLE strike by the Phantom. Nothing! Sigh. It's gross having a litter box be the first thing visitors see when they walk in. It's annoying not to be able to put shoes by the door because the area is coopted by a litter box. It's frustrating to realize that we just conceded to her unreasonable little demands. On the other hand, it's great not cleaning up cat pee every day. Nocturne wanted a litter box there. Nocturne demanded that it be so. Nocturne committed acts of terrorism, and treated the spot as her own personal toilet until we made it so. Nocturne = 1 Humans = 0. Sigh. --Fil Ya know when I first got Imp I had a similar problem trying to get him to use the litter box in the bathroom. He kept going on my laundry bag near my bedroom door. So I put the litterbox there and let him use it. Then every few days or so, I would move the box about a foot closer to the bathroom. Imp would still use it And then eventually got it inside the bathroom door and under the sink where I wanted it.. and Imp then used it in its proper spot. It might work, at least to get the litterbox over to the side. Then again, Imp is not the smartest kitty. And Nox has a mind like a steel trap, soooooo not sure if she would fall for it. Just a thought. hehehehehe Kristi |

Did you try putting a food dish in the spot? Yes. Nocturne peed in it. Nocturne is hard core. --Fil |

This sounds like she has detected an architectural error and the bathroom, or at least HER bathroom, should have been THERE. If she is willing to be an expert witness, you may have grounds for a lawsuit. - Will in New Haven This would be a better world for children if the parents had to eat the spinach. -Groucho Marx, "Animal Crackers" il |

Nocturne was always a very dignified lady who didn't even like to be seen in the box and was very fastidious. For her to squat and pee the floor right in front of us (!) is...well, it's like using nuclear weapons--previously too horrible to contemplate. It was appparently vital to the interests of the FWO that a toilet be created at that precise location. --Fil Yeah, I couldn't believe she peed the food.
