Too bad about the cat urine issues in the house. Unless a cat is ill or in end stages of life, the problem is with the owner(s) and not the cat. We have six indoor cats. They’re the proverbial “scaird-y cats” and go into hiding at the sound of a doorbell or a strange voice, so our friends and visitors almost never see them.
We’ve sold a few homes and potential buyers and buyers were shocked to learn later that we have “a” cat — much less six — because they never saw them. We’d put away toys and litter boxes before a showing. There is no smell. There were no cat “accidents”.
If the owner doesn’t maintain the boxES (always more than one) frequently and diligently there will be problems. Not the fault of the cats.
It makes me sad that people will dispose of pets for reasons like this, when the fault lies with the owners themselves. They’ll adopt a pet with no clue about care and behavior and just wing it. The pet ultimately pays the price.
One of our cats is scared of the other one...and will do his business in a flower pot, on the carpet, etc...rather than use the litter box if the other cat is around. So we have placed more than one around the house. Next problem is we have to leave night lights...or he doesn’t seem to find the boxes. Oh yeah, he’s 21 years old...so he’s having senior moments.
