$#@!*?! Cats
Does anyone here live with roommates who are otherwise cool (well, mostly), but have filthy, nasty pets?
My roommates have two cats. Neither one is very friendly. One is apparently not litterbox trained, and he's constantly crapping all over the house. To make matters worse, the roomies don't really clean the litterbox regularly. Since they're not my cats, and I'm really paying too much to live here anyway, I refuse to clean it. I've taken to closing my bedroom door when I leave in the mornings, because the incontinent one took a dump on my floor once. The other day, the cat apparently snuck into my room and crawled under my bed while I was in the shower. When I left for work, I closed the door. Well... He was shut up in there all day long and pissed on my bed and on my zafu/zabuton (meditation cushion and pad that cost almost $100). The roomies were very apologetic about the bed and got it cleaned up. However, they never mentioned the zafu/zabuton until last night when I noticed it wasn't in my room. So I asked one of the roomies about it, and he showed it to me, stacked up in the dining room (along with a bunch of other crap...the roomies don't keep a neat house, but that's a separate issue). The zabuton smelled of cat urine. Apparently, they have ordered some pet urine remover that comes with a black light, or some such nonsense. It pissed me off (no pun intended) that they failed to mention it to me until I asked about it. Arrrgh!! If they don't get the piss out, I'm going to insist that they buy me a new set. Again...it cost me almost $100! I just had to get this off my chest...sorry. |

Cats are nasty and destructive and NOTHING, I mean NOTHING gets rid of cat urine smell. I can't even imagine how nasty it must be living there. You have my sympathies |

Bleck!
Sorry to hear about your dirty situation. Yuck! It's not the cats' fault though, it's your roommates responsiblity to care for their animals.
I agree with Tower, get out if you can, find a cleaner place to live, but if that's not an option, talk with your roomies and let them know you are not happy with the cleanliness of the house.

My guess is that Marky's roommates have some unusually maladjusted cats, which really sucks!

But - if there is a cat like that - you should probably move. I have cats, and I love them, but I wouldn't want to constantly deal with cat piss and **** in that way. Oh, and they probably will be able to get the smell out, but it is pretty difficult, and again, I wouldn't want to deal with it over and over....

I love cats. But they really are destructive in nature. Dealing with cat piss is not cool. My cats have always used the litterbox (except when the dopey one had cystitis), but still- putting up with cat yuck when they're not even your own cats is a draggggggggggggg.

My feline children have a self cleaning litterbox. They are very spoiled little creatures.
It bugs me when people don't take good care of their pets. |

Well, I've thought about moving, but I can't afford my own apartment at the moment...and I'm not too keen on finding new roommates. These guys were friends of mine before I moved in...but the last bunch I lived with, I didn't know before I moved in...the guy who owned the house was a complete nutjob (he was probably bipolar, but undiagnosed).
I've thought about feeding the cats Prestone. (j/k...sort of) |

well, maybe that would help, if they got one he wasn't afraid of, and kept it clean. Good luck. Sometimes my siamese still does things that I want to kill him for. And that's besides his constant loud, pushy meowing. It's like living with a Fran Drescher who occasionally pees somewhere she shouldn't. In case you think I'm joking, get a load of this: http://s28.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3...S2T26PQEO4U7RD

I hate cats, so if I were in your shoes, I'd move out.

Since we're on the topic of cats, my 10 week old kitten has terrible gas could it be something else other then cheap cat food? I have her on a medium priced kitten food (kibble & canned), should she be on that expensive vet food?
