She has a problem. She has a serious problem. But she won't come in to get it looked at.

We used to have a tux. She actually had white fur underneath with black tips. She was a great cat. This picture made me miss her. We "stole" her from the neighbors across the street who ran the boarding house. 

The neighbor came to me a couple days before we left and said, "you're taking the black cat when you go to Ohio, right?" 

So... stole... with permission... even encouragement.

He was one of our "foster failures" several years ago. The idea of course was to keep him until he found a home, but he grew up here and we just pulled the plug after a year, as it would not be fair to send him away. We were his family by that point. Was a tiny kitten with a messed up eye. We had to put stuff in it like 5 times a day, to help keep him from losing it totally.  It worked. Hes mostly blind but didnt lose it.  ( tho i lost a lot of blood from him scratching to avoid it :) )

Had a Siamese that pulled his iris out of one eye with his back claw, they put it back in, and surprisingly he kept his eye too.  Only could see shadows out of it, but i'm sure helped with depth perception, like in this case.

You know, there was something wrong with the eye on our cat, too. A scratched iris or something. The vet who discovered it told us, "they almost inevitably develop eye cancer that is inoperable from this injury." 

Unfortunately, she had used up too many of her 9 by that point, and a couple of years later, throat cancer got her, instead. :(

I want to say 'thank you' to my cat who is coughing up his spring hairballs on the floor and not the carpet.

So dog starts barking for no real reason out back ( with a 'odd' lassie 'come here' bark ), leads the wife to the corner of the house in the back to find the stupid cat siting on the roof, again.  ( the one from the earlier picture )

Dog runs in to tell me too..  

Thankfully i didnt have to get ON the roof this time to retrieve him, its been raining/drizzling all day.  I guess tomorrow i cut more tree down.  

This is the one that for years never even thought of it but about 3 summers ago he saw me on the roof working on our dish and he was looking sideways..  like "hmmm that looks like fun". next day found him dancing around up there.  Via a peach tree near the house. Netting didnt work, had to almost cut it down.  

Gotta love cats.

I purchased the cat a food tree, the cat has to work to get his kibble.

https://youtu.be/TLSEsDZoK68

The cat has a mouse that you stuff with kibble and hide. This will keep the cats hunting instincts active because he has to search for his food.
The cat has a treat ball as well and seems to enjoy all his food toys.

what do you do when your (somewhat elderly) cat has a newly-developed bad habit of eliminating in an inappropriate location?

unfortunately she now thinks that the narrow area on my side of the bed is her new "spot"

You prepare yourself, Loanshark. I'm sorry. 

Maybe talk to a Vet if the cat is *somewhat* elderly to see if there is something wrong that can be fixed. With very elderly cats - it has inevitably been a sign for me that our time together is very near its end. Cats tend to be fastidious and creatures of habit. If one or both of those conditions change - it is almost always a sign of an underlying condition.

yeah, I was thinking something like that.

she has degenerative kidney disease (which might lead to elimination problems, I suppose) but we've been monitoring that, and it's still within acceptable limits (although she is thirsty all the time now.)

Here is what we do... 

We get those pet training pads, and put them down where ever the new spot is. It is a little expensive, but it is easier to clean up - and if you keep on top of it - it helps mitigate the inconvenience. You can get them in bulk at PetSmart.

That is pretty much what we did the last time we had an elderly cat with that issue. She would start peeing in certain areas ( still incorrect ) so we just put pads there. She was perhaps 15 or so. i forget now.
