<p>You beat me to this by 56 minutes. I need to read these threads earlier…</p>

<p>The aluminum foil is now on the chair.</p>

<p>I find it works better if the aluminum foil is lining my hat, but to each his own I suppose.</p>

<p>aluminum foil worked great for cat #1. We placed it in our potted plants. Cat #2 shredded the foil. I think he thought it was funny.</p>

<p>Cat #2 started using an indoor planter. We covered it in plastic, and he used the plastic. Somewhere we read they don’t like grapefruit skins, so we cut up grapefruit slices and placed them on the plastic. No puddles yet! (1 week). The grapefruit are not looking great ;-)</p>

<p>Along with the aluminum foil, plastic wrap, and grapefruit, try double stick tape …</p>

<p>And the Nature’s Miracle/Petastic should work on the stains as well as the smells.</p>

<p>For cats that are upset about something … there are phernome products on the market that make the cat think that he’s back with momma kitty and all is right with the world. I know these work – there’s a dog one too.</p>

<p>I was a cat person for 50 years – ALWAYS had a kitty, except when I was in college.</p>

<p>Then I started living with a dog. What a refreshing change! I’ll never go back.</p>

<p>OMG – I just noticed the advertisements running down the left side of this page. Ads for kitty-pee-removal products. How the hell did they do that?? Is there some kind of optical character recognition technology?</p>

<h2>“Pee is the lesser of the problem.”</h2>

<p>If poo is the major problem, try feeding your cat high absorption cat food. Most more expensive cat foods are high absorption. Even though you’ll pay a little more, (how to put this delicately)… it causes dry, much less smelly poo…and the cats don’t go as often.</p>

<p>My husband thinks it’s some sort of cat torture, but my cats don’t seem to mind. What they mind is the weight-control formulas. (But don’t we all? :wink: )</p>

<p>LOL…it’s true! As soon as I posted, the ads changed from college admissions counseling to pet stain/odor removal product ads!</p>
