Urine Spraying Success Story
Monday October 6, 2008
Possibly nothing can be as upsetting or as frustrating as having a cat spray urine all over the house. Spraying or inappropriate elimination is probably the number one reason cats are surrendered to shelters, or worse, turned out of the house to fend for themselves. Puck, pictured here, suffered the latter fate. Although her owners left food outdoors for her, the crows quite often helped themselves and left little for her. By the time Leona entered her life, in Leona's words,
She was an angry, unhappy, and confused cat -- alternately purring (for the food) then hissing and scratching and being a general "piss ant" as my sister used to say.Leona and her husband took Puck into their home, and it wasn't too long before she sprayed -- their stereo system! Be sure to read the rest of Puck's story for and inspiring example of persistence, patience, and love, which turned the tide for Puck's "behavioral problems." The bottom line, as Leona wrote me, is "Don't Give up on Your Cat!"

How wonderful for Puck! These little angels that come to us as cats certainly do have their own minds and their own personal issues.
I think of our cats as three year olds in fur suits.
Thank you so much for your care and understanding and patience with her care.
If we could find caregivers like this for every kitty wouldn’t it be a better world?!
Thanks to Franny for the great cat stories, articles and pictures.
Meow to all!
