Imagining if Lassie was a cat instead of a dog, there'd be only one episode.

No, no....that's how they feel about the humans that don't
_belong_ to them.

("Cats rule & dogs drool.")
My roommate's cats (filthy little degenerate creatures they are....) have
recently begun a fun little program of pissing on his bed. He _belongs_ to
them. He feeds them. He takes care of them, and pets them, and strokes them,
and calls them George.
And still they piss on his bed. And in the shower. And on the basement
floor.
The dogs have now begun hiding, since my roommate has been blaming them for
the cat piss (the two smell nothing alike, how could you confuse them), and
the cats walk by and gloat. The dogs, naturally, bark at the cats. The
roommate again yells at the dogs.
Cats are like the world's most aggrivating little sister.

Dogs *need* way too much -- emotion, time, attention -- remind me of
children. I love dogs but between living in an apt., my job & traveling, I
would feel way too much guilt having to leave them so much and not walking
them enough and petting them enough and....... A-a-a-a-c-k I have enough
stuff to occupy my automatic guilt reflex (honed in the finest Catholic
schools). All that nondiscretionary adoration makes me uncomfortable --
like someone else said -- I prefer more of a challenge *G*
Cats now -- loving w/o being cloying, can entertain selves when necessary,
no need for 'potty' walks, independent minded, self-regulating feeders who
don't gorge themselves the first day & then starve. OK so they can't catch
a Frisbee & don't do that
'adoring-you-are-master-can-do-no-wrong-melting-eyes' thing. They might
sulk a bit w/ prolonged absence but soon forget (plus I think they are
secretly glad to get me out of 'their' residence!)
For the longest time, until I was 'given' cats about 4 years ago, I went by
the "no pets, plants or progeny" rule because of having a 'Kervorkian Thumb'
(unintentional assisstant in fauna suicide) and my job (plus I wasn't up to
being a single mother).

The litter box is changed regularly. After the most recent changing, one of
the cats responded by pissing outside of it, and then scooping the litter
onto it. The other pissed exactly five feet away, on the basement floor, and
didn't scoop any litter onto it.
> The Dr's diagnosis:
> Too many animals in too small a place.
> (aka: Stress-induced pee-ing......)
The dogs and the cats have been together (all five of 'em) in the same house
for roughly a year. This little bit o'fun has begun in the last two weeks.
We are all in agreement something must be done.
My roommate, the one who owns the cats, says it's gotta be the dogs' fault
for messing with the cats. My other roommate, who owns the dogs, says it's
gotta be the cats' fault because, and I quote, 'They're cats, man. They do
shit like this.'
Me? I don't care. Keep the cats out of my way, the dogs from chewing up
anything of mine, and all is well.
Another quick question: One of the dogs, a weimereiner, has a somewhat
serious case of seperation anxiety. This dog cannot behave properly without
human beings around. I've heard tell of this stuff called Clomicalm that
supposedly helps this disorder. Any truth to it?

There are a number of anxio-lytic ('stress- buster') drugs
on the market.
The dog needs to be seen in person, in order for a
prescription to be written [I don't recall, offhand, if
this breed is overly-sensitive to these drugs...]. Some
behavior/training steps can also be taken, but, again
that's best done by the vet that knows the dog personally.
A combination of behavior & drug therapy can really
work wonders.
As for the cat problem:
How old are the cats?
What sex are they and are they neutered?
What kind of litter is used in the box?
Has the brand been changed lately?
What was the first 'out-of-litter-box' peeing incident?
(where did it happen?)
Is there any other change in behavior? Increased vocalization?
(more meowing?) Restlessness?
Are the cats/dogs kept together or separated?
{How many dogs?}
Let me know!

No marked increase in meowing (these are cats that have known for a long
time that if they meow at the right sucker, they will get fed. So they meow
at everybody).

Depends on the time of day. For the most part, during the day, the dogs have
the run of the first floor, while the cats hang out in Kenny's room, pretty
much just chilling. At night, the dogs go into 'their' room, that is, the
owner's, and are there all night.

My Teddy, when in the mood of course, gives me what I call "The Look of Love"

the honor of her sitting on my lap.

twice. She'll sleep with her in her bed, but only while my daughter is asleep.

Not to leave you with the impression that I dislike Dogs.
I DO like dogs. Mostly. I've found, however, that Dogs
are more variable in their characters than Cats, at least,
as far as their behavior towards people goes.
We do not currently own a dog - Wouldn't get one while I
was still in school (unfair to dog). Wouldn't get one while
we still had infants/small children (dangerous to children).
However, now that the kids have grown past the infant stage.....
{poor husband - if he only knew!!!}
As for our Castle Dogs, I've been thinking that our
resurrected Cujo & all the Cujo clones might need another
companion....so I brought this one along....Named him
SUNny.........
Hope you like him!
