We just got her fixed. She is just a little over 2 years old. But ever since she was fixed, she has started tearing holes in furniture, mainly our couch. Tearing clothes, scratching holes in our doors, and just being a pain. Now my daughters love this cat, but right now this cat has effectively made me go from like it to want to throw it out a window. We've tried a spray bottle when she does these things, she doesn't stop. We have toys for her, pay attention to her, and other things yet she is still a pain in the behind. Before she was fixed, she was rather timid, she'd crawl into your lap and fall asleep, sleep on top of you at night. But now she is become horrid and uncontrollable.

I recently was in the middle of moving out of my old house and had to leave my bed there for about a week. my old roomate let het cats in my room and they peed on my bed. i was wondering if anyone has ever had their furniture professionally cleaned because of cat pee? did it come out? and how much did it cost? Thanks so much!

I have a 8-10 week old kitten named Sprinkles, I havent had a cat from this young so any tips? she hasnt actually scratched the furniture that ive noticed... but id like to teach her how to use the post/board BEFORE something gets ruined! lol

I somewhat recently adopted two ferrets from a lady who rescued them and neither I or the lady have any clue how old they are, but they are still relatively small. Their cage has two levels and they have a litterpan attached to the side...But they tend to curl up and sleep in their litterpan, regardless if it has litter in it or not. So I just fill the bottom with kitten litter. I have noticed a few problems.. one, they sneeze and wheeze a lot, prompting me to wonder if it's allergies to the dust from the litter? Another, they are messy and always taking their food bowl out of its nest and laying it on it's side so they can dig all the food out with their paws. A lot of food gets on the floor and they end up eating it later, litter and all!. And last but NOT least, it smells awful! I clean the cage everyday, i bathe them twice a month, and after they've been out to play for a few hours I febreeze all my furniture...but it still smells like cat litter and poo. So yesterday I emptied the litter and laid down a large pad like we use for our birds cage. But they ripped it to shreds and started eliminating on the plastic bottom of the cage. Most of the urine was absorbed by the pad. My brother has the blue on of whatever you call these http://upload.ecvv.com/upload/Product/20086/China_mesh_hanging_storage_mesh_hanging_organizer_toy_organizer_mesh_net_storage_wall_hanger_organization20086252057031.jpg that he never uses, so I cut off one of the little sections and hung it in the cage yesterday. Last night they both slept in it, instead of the litter pan. Does that mean I can put litter in the pan? would that take down on the potency of the smell at all or no? is there anything else i could use, like woodchips or something? Ps - i want to buy a ferret hammock, ferret deodorizer, and a few other things - but we dont have a pet store and the nearest one is a few hundred miles away. I have a list for when I next go there, so if you have anything to add i'll write it down. One night without litter, and yet my room smells so much better! I mean HUGE difference! I would spray air freshener, but I'm leary. Would it be dangerous for them?

My cat had very severe herpes as a kitten, and needed to have one eye surgically removed. It has been a year and a half since the surgery, and he still spends most of his waking hours rubbing his covered eye socket (the surgeon closed the skin over it after removing the eye), either against furniture or with his paw. This is more than normal cat rubbing against furniture. I can only say he looks everday like I've felt after receiving multiple fire ant bites- like he's frantically trying to alleviate the itching, but will never be able to. I've looked this up multiple places, and the vet hasn't been any help, so this is my last resort. Is there anything I can do for him and- more immediately- what the heck is going on under there?
