Elle ended up having a UTI about a month ago, so she let me know that she was sick by peeing in our hallway. Okay no big deal -- we cleaned the carpet, and got medicine for her to get better. Wrong. Unfortunately since she peed their once, she decided that she would like to continue going there when she gets mad.
So what makes her mad? Kyle walking in the door, Tyson running or barking, Kyle walking towards her, Puck attacking/chasing her, Kyle talking or moving... I mean you get the point. I guess I raised her to be a 'girls girl' because she just doesn't like Kyle at all.
So we reached our breaking point of hand cleaning the carpet, and felt like we weren't getting to clean deep enough. You guys know cat pee is like the worst smell ever. SO we got serious and bought a BISSELL CARPET CLEANER!
We cleaned our entire house on Sunday afternoon... every room, hallway and staircase. They look incredible and I just love knowing that our carpets have been deeply cleaned. So that solved problem #1. But now that they are clean, I didn't want to risk the chance of Elle peeing in that spot (did I mention it's less than 5 feet from the litter box... I think she does that on purpose like "I'll show you guys").
Let me introduce you to our saran wrap floors:
Okay it's not saran wrap but it crunches like it every time we walk over that place. We taped a drop cloth down over the area with duck tape and painters tape. I'm not sure why but I just couldn't stop laughing while we were doing this. The things we do for the animals.I think the funniest thing was that the cats wouldn't even walk on it for the longest time... Puck's face in this picture is like "really mom?"
Better to laugh about it then get upset:)

oh boy, now that is dedication! i bet the next place she chooses to make a statement will be on kyle's side of the bed. :)
The problem is that you don't have enough cats. I have two that we can fed-x to you today. I am always here to help.
Oh, Leah, this post made me laugh so hard...and then Dad's comment was icing on the cake! Yes, what we do for cats!!!
I'm so sorry about your carpet, but this is hillarious! Oh the things we will do for our pets! I know cat pee can be gross...I hope it works and breaks her of her habit!

exactly why I hate cats and had to live on Triaminic at your house growing up. Thanks a lot!
This is hilarious. Hope this helps break the habit.
Too funny! I can just see the expression on Kyle's face while he was installing the "cat barrier" and you were laughing uncontrollably, Leah!
