And what on EARTH does drawing the line mean?!
Nya has always had peeing issues. She has chronic UTI's, and a buttload of other pee-related health problems (kidneys, etc.) and has always been not such a good cat about using the litterbox. BUT she's always limited her outside the box peeing to my things. My clothes on the floor, my towel, stuff that smells like me I guess. And she ONLY pees on stuff when she's sick. (It's like a signal. Stuff gets peed on, Nya gets meds lol)
But now, she's not sick. Or at least not sick that I can do anything more about (we've explored and exhausted every treatment option at this point). And she's peeing on things that are definitely NOT mine. Or even clothes! She's peeing in Sierra's crate. I have to keep the door closed or it's peed in. She's been peeing in Matt's closet. She ruined a few photo albums, some childhood toys he has, his old computer even got a bit of it (GROSS)! And he's of course, pardon the pun, PISSED.
A lesser pet owner would have dumped her or rehomed her or put her down years ago. Infact I have my suspicions now about why she was on the street starving to death in the first place. I know that is not an option for me... but what on earth DO i do?! I can't live soaking in cat pee! It's been 4 years, and I've patiently bared the brunt of it since it was only my clothes etc. being affected, I just did a lot of laundry. My patience is wearing very thin
