I'm getting a second litter pan tonight (thanks Jax!), and putting it in the kitchen. If it doesn't help relieve whatever stress my cats are under here in the house, everyone but Zathras has to go. The bedroom is now permanently offlimits to any cats except Zathras. I am at my wits' end.

Liath SHIT in the bed this morning, all over Jason's comforter, while I was still asleep. That is totally unacceptable. Leanan pisses all over the kitchen, despite the fact that I clean the litterbox every day, and he knows where it is. That is totally unacceptable. I think Mealla is now peeing in the kitchen as well, because Leanan does. Unacceptable. Mealla pissed on the bed last night. Unacceptable.

I have tried everything known to mankind to determine what is upsetting my animals. Everyone but Zathras is just totally flaked out. If cats don't start using the appropriate places to urinate and defecate again, esp. with a second box, I will be forced to assume that it is just too stressful with four cats in my home, and I will take Liath, Leanan, and Mealla to the SPCA. I don't like it, but they deserve homes where they will be healthy, comfortable, and happy. If my home isn't that place, then I will not hesitate to get them somewhere they can start that process.

I feel badly that my home makes them upset. I feel badly that I tried to give them love, and it makes them upset. I feel badly that I can't afford to give them everything they need. :(

Just been a rotten day. Headache won't leave...

Cats can sometimes sence forces and presences/tense atmospheres more so then we can, aslo if one of your cats happens to be a "fmailliar" to you it makes the stress the animal feels all the more worse *hugs* I'll ask my friend who is a cat breeder for some advice for you Morg :/ other then cleansing the house spiritually which from the tone of your text your in no shape or mood to do *hugs* take care and be well :< i hope the kitties dont have to leave. but you have a good heart in placing the animals first.

Well, I just cleansed the house a few days ago, having gotten rid of my migraine and it seemed appropriate. Zathras is the familiar of the bunch, so if there was stress thuswise he'd be the first to let me know, and he's the only one that's ok. Jason and I are not fighting, and there's really any sort of tenseness to the house. I am convinced there is some sort of communal PMS going through the girls because neither are spayed, and the kitten is just being an asshole. We'll see.

One day you’ll walk the world
and keep in mind
The heart you’ve been given
in winter time
And through the bitter cold,
with opened eyes
You’ll find the strength to fight
and stand upright
