You're The Reason We Can't Have Any Nice Things.
I could use a vacation from cats with eliminatory quirks, thank you.
For a few months, Fritzi has been occasionally taking a shit in the middle of our hall. It seems to correlate loosely with either territorial disputes with Coaltrain, my overnight absence, or a dirty litterbox. It's annoying, but manageable. Most of the time. (Hardwood floors help.) But it wears.
And then, this morning.
Nadine has a compulsion to pee on bath mats. We've known this for years, and always hang up our mat or towel or whatever we're using to prevent her from using it. This technique has worked well enough through three different households.
Until this morning. I put the mat down when I started my shower; she waited until I was just about ready to step out onto it to use it as her litterbox alternative. Fortunately I caught her just before I stepped into a puddle of warm cat pee. But after she'd soiled the mat, possibly irrevocably. We'll see when it comes out of the washer this evening.
