Hi all,
I am really upset with my cat today. I recently bought my two year olds a small tent from IKEA about a week ago and I sent them to go a play in it. Well, I decided that I was going to go into the tent with them to play and I found pee and poop inside the tent. I think she pooped in it this morning. I was so mad!
This is not the first time nor will it be the last time that this cat peed on my kids stuff. She has peed on their stuff animals, on their curtains, on their Aquadoodle pad, and in their little pool (I found out she was doing it when I found my daughter having a good time splashing around in cat urine
. I wanted to drop kick my cat to the moon, but I didn't. I promise I didn't). She has even peed in their crib one time.
She has hit my husband's and my stuff too. If my husband leaves his clothing on the floor she will pee on it (she even peed on the bag he takes to work). She has peed on my new curtains (it was so bad I had to toss them), my bathmat, the laundry basket, my bed (this was along time ago). At our last home, she nearly destroyed the carpeting in the whole house. It became a serious hygiene for the babies at the time. I could not keep up with her. I spent hundreds of dollars on enzyme cleaner and carpet cleaning.
At our new place, she started out good but now she back to her ways. I have taken her to the vet several times and she is in perfect heath. I think the issue is that she is jealous of the kids. She really did start the pooping an peeing until the kids arrived. My husband and I have tried to give her as much attention as is humanly possible but it is not enough. She has always been affectionate (to the point of being needy). We pet and talk to her. The kids pet her and talk to her all the time. We clean her box out every day. My husband makes sure he gets her her favorite canned food every week as a treat and this is what we get in return. We have spoiled this cat!
We are ready to give her up. What would you do? My husband wants to throw her outside or have her euthanized. At first I was against it, but now I am starting to reconsider.

). After the puppy left, my cat went back to normal. So I know most of the problem is jealousy. ugh.
