The: I Haven't got my cat neutured yet, oh crap he's pissing everywhere, home game!

Okay, so I haven't gotten around to getting my cat Alister neutered yet. I know! I KNOW! LOL this crap cost money though.

So here is my new home game. I think in the end the cat is always the winner but I think that I should get points just for showing up.

Part One.

Figuring out where that smell is coming from.

This can be tricky. First I recommend paying attention to already peed upon areas... Once a snazzy place to pee always a snazzy place. Secondly, if your cat seems to be spending a particularly long time sniffing a particular spot then that is where to look or in a very near there. Also note that he's probably about to do it again.

Part Two.

Deny areas to the cat that make life extra difficult on you.

Okay so here is the thing... I am willing to argue that there is almost no greater atrocity in life than settling down to have your morning cup of coffee only to bring it towards your lips, to stop just in time to think: 'Hmmm.... Why does my coffee smell funny...'. That's right the f@!$%Kng cat likes to pee on my coffee maker! Oh Yeah! That sucks. So deny him! That's right now when I go to bed or to work or leave for any length of time I've set up an easy to put up and take down fence system to prevent my cat from getting on top of the stove and/or counters. I use a left over strip of wallpaper that I have, taping on end to the fridge, having it run along atop the adjacent counter area where the sink is located, turning the corner braced by strip of laminate floring (of which i have lots) leaning up against the corner, and extending to just in front of my stove (which immediately follows the counter), where, in front of it, I have several more pieces of laminate floring conected together which I clip it to. Besides possibly being the longest sentence in the world. This process takes approx. 1 minute to set up or to take down. As I just move the flooring pieces against the kitchen wall when done and roll up the wallpaper, sticking an empty wrapping paper roll through it so that it can be tucked in beside the fridge. Long story short, NO PEE in my coffee.


Cats in heat like to mew and go nuts over the neighborhood cats. Especially in basements. The best way to solve this is deny them the window. Because the little brat pees all over this too and start howling. so I keep my handy thin wood blinds down. He can't jump through that. Thus I don't have to be woken up by howling or cleaning pee smelling blinds.

Part Three.

Protect all your cool stuff.

Simple, don't leave stuff like important paperwork or your favorite sweater laying around because it will get peed on. I also covered the bottom shelf of my book shelves with plastic so that my books will be safe.

Part Four.

Make things as easy to clean as possible.

I coiled excess cords and picked them up off of the floor twist-tie-ing them together to the furniture nearest the electronic they go with. This way I don't have to scrub every wire (well likely) and my floor is ready to be easily moped everywhere in an instant!

Part Five.

Wish you had fixed your cat long ago so you'd have never needed to figure out this crap.

And, that is the cat-pee-proofing home game. Fun for the whole family. If not them at least for the cat.
