Shock The Monkey
A while ago I posted about Sake The Cat having O.C.D.
The problem has not really got any better. The cat seems to think she can just pee on stuff and it is OK. Like the couch. She has decided that the couch is a good place to piss.
I tried that "cat repellant" spray crap. It did not work. I tried the "guard the couch" thing but that only works when I am there to guard the couch. I even tried the "throw stuff at the cat when she jumps on the couch" thing, but once again that only works when I am there to throw stuff.
So the other day I was looking for objects to booby trap the couch with. Like a rat trap for example. This would work, but it would probably result in a visit to the vet. So I needed something a little more passive than a rat trap. And I found these things.
Well whoever ivented these things must have owned dogs, because Sake figured out how they work. When I put them on the couch she walked over to investigate. This happens to ANYTHING that moves in. Sake has to investigate it right away. She is the cat equal to TSA at the airport, anything you bring in they look at.
Anyway st first she tried to jump up on the couch. She discovered that spikes suck. So she tried to just put her paws where there were no spikes. This did not work so well. So she decided to just ignore the spikes and sit down. No go there. Next she tried the "lay down" thing, and once again discovered that spikes suck AND they piss you off.
So she jumped down to the floor, and tried to pull the mat off the couch using her paw. But the spikes prevented that! So she tried to bite the mat and pull it off with her teeth. Once again, failure. In defeat, she went off to use the approved cat pissing location - AKA the litter box.
So off to work I go, confident that the plastic mats were the solution.
But what do I find when I get home? One of the mats on the floor, and a wet spot on the couch. THAT FURRY LITTLE BITCH pulled the mat off the couch sometime while I was at work. There was even a little bit of pee on the mat itself, as if the cat were saying "since you like to piss your money away on crap like this, here is a little present".
I put the mats back on the couch and cleaned up the mess. And I ordered the HEAVY ARTILLERY. The SCAT MAT. The Scat Mat is a plastic pad with no spikes, but it does have a 9v battery. When thecat steps on the mat, a circut is created and the cat gets a light ZAP. There are three levels of ZAP to choose from - low, medium, and tazer. According to the people that make the thing, it will not harm your pet, it just zaps them a little bit. On "tazer" the zap is similar to what you get when you get out of your car and static electricity gets you.
So the Scat Mat is on the way. Lets see the furry bitch pull this off the couch and pee on it! The slightest little touch will deliver a ZAP. I think this device will solve the problem. And it will be funny as hell to watch.

i bought an electronic box off ebay that has settings for dog/cat, mice and birds. its basically an acoustical terrorism device to keep animals from going places you dont want them. it like having a siren going off all the time except you dont hear it. it worked great at keeping the previous tenants cat off the bed. when it was on, the cat didnt want anything to do with the room. when i forgot to turn it on, her f@cken cat would be walking on our bed again.
the terrorism box along with an industrial spray bottle filled with H2O was fairly effective. the problem with spray bottles though is every now and then the unsuspecting cat has its ass pointed within your range and you have the spray bottle in your hand. the humor value is high but the training value begins to deminish.
i dont particularly like cats. since the cat is being stubborn about pissing somewhere you like to lounge. i say you put the cat in its cat carrier. place the carrier with cat inside on its cat bed, then piss on the cat. repeat as needed. after you have pissed on the cat enough to compensate it for all the piss it donated to your cause then take the cat carrier outside and hose the cat down while in the carrier. this will cut down on those nasty cat scratches usually obtained while trying to bathe a cat. once this is over ask an unsuspecting person to open the cat carrier while its outside the house.
btw... lizard day at the museum of science. june 24th, saturday. bring your lizard (iguana or monitor) in for some contest and stuff. call the musuem to find out more.
I hope you forget and sit down real hard on it.
