| 2930.1 | It could be..... | PENPAL::TRACHMAN | ExoticSH=Persian in Underwear | Tue Oct 10 1989 13:08 | 8 |
| I would firstly think of a urinary tract infection, then maybe
that he just got excited from playing - not realizing that it
was morning, and that he hadn't made a visit to the litter box
and by the time he realized it, it WAS TOO LATE. Maybe have the
vet do a quickie urine check, for your peace-of-mind. It was also
very cold this morning - In Candia, we had a heavy frost.

| Elaine, does the cold have anything to do with this? We had quite
a frost this morning as well (pardon my ignorance... I just never
knew the two could be linked).
The litter box is in the basement -- 2 floors below -- so you could
be right. He did go down there to do #2 and I praised him to the
high heavens.

| WElllll, when it's cold, I have to 'go' more often, especially if
I'm outside !!! Kidding aside, you, firstly, are not ignorant,
secondly, if your room was really chilly, it could be linked.
If he was really playing hard with Dana, he really could have
forgotten how much he had to go. Did you say that he had
already been down to the box that morning before he let go
all over Dana (I"m still laughing over that one, sorry Dana) !!!
You might consider giving your vet a call and see what they think.
He may have a little cold - probably nothing to worry about.
Let me know..
BTW, did you enter Braintree or Marlboro?

| Hi Elaine. I had to hold in my laughter until Dana was in the shower,
then I really let go! And yup, the cold weather certainly puts
more pressure on my bladder too so why not Kirby's!! I don't think
he had been down to the litterbox this morning at all, just Kelsey.
And yes, our room was very chilly.
Yup, I entered Braintree but have not received a confirmation back
yet. Marlboro is all set; got that entry in real early. Should
be a blast!!

| 2930.5 | got to make it easy for them when they are kittens | WR2FOR::CORDESBRO_JO | set home/cat_max=infinity | Tue Oct 10 1989 14:04 | 4 |
| Sounds like it is a long way to the litter box. Any chance of moving
a box upstairs?

| 2930.6 | Temperture drops cause Pip to spray | VAXWRK::SKALTSIS | Deb | Tue Oct 10 1989 14:25 | 6 |
| I've found that if the temp in the whole house drops below 65, Pip will
spray. So, when the weather gets cold and I turn the heat down in the
house, I leave a portable oil-filled radiator in my bedroom that keeps
the room temp at around 72. Pip spends the day up there and doesn't spray.

| 2930.7 | When ya gotta go, ya gotta go | SWAT::COCHRANE | Brace yourself - a brace of cats! | Tue Oct 10 1989 14:38 | 15 |
| Sometimes, they get so involved with playing, they really do "forget"
they have to go! And when they are kittens, they will "wait till
the last minute" the same as kids!!! ;-)
This past week-end I've had to make a couple of "emergency runs"
down to the basement with a kitten in hand, when I caught someone
getting ready to "squat" on the medallion on the oriental rug!!
(It doesn't look much like a litterbox to me, but then again, I'm
not 8 weeks old, either ;-)
Aren't kittens fun?

| Hmmmm. Could be it, berta. Entered all of them, huh??? Hmm,
do I sense a hooked exhibitor???? hmmm!!
Great!
Keep an eye on him and see how he does - he's probably fine.

| Isis pee'd on Jack once. Of course, he deserved it! He scared
her. At the time I was SOOOOO angry at him, now that I think back
on it, I think its funny as anything! :-)
Flame used one of our chairs the first day he was at the house.
I think its because he wasn't used to two story houses and had
never used a covered box before. We put a box in the diningroom
and there's been no trouble since.
Maybe Kirby needs a closer box. How about a small one in the
bathroom.
Nancy who hopes you got entered in Braintree in time!

| 2930.10 | Did you spill something, dear? | SWAT::COCHRANE | Brace yourself - a brace of cats! | Tue Oct 10 1989 15:18 | 9 |
| Oh yes, that reminds me. I don't think Ian or I will forget the
time right after we first got Dream and Ian tried to give her
her medicine. She *hates* having anything done except petting
and brushing. Ian chased her all over the condo trying to catch
her, and got her so upset, she finally climbed up *into* our recliner
and let go! Try cleaning *that* up!!! ;-) Didn't like that
recliner much anyway......

The box has been in the basement for several months and Kirby has
never had an accident until this morning. The more I think about
the cold, the more I think that is a possibility. If it happens
again, a trip to the vet is in order as well as a closer litter
box. Either that or a warmer house!!

at the Braintree show! What color does he like???

| Elaine, go easy on Dana in Braintree! He's a pretty sensitive guy!!
I'm still laughing though!!
Kirby kept going over to him last night and rolling at his feet
as if begging for forgiveness. He was up on the bed again this
morning patty-pawing and purring but not peeing, thank God!
Still no confirmation from Meg for Braintree. We're only entered
for Saturday, not Sunday.
Where is the next CFF show after Marlboro?

hmm. maybe, ah , yeah, I guess. He DID look good, though. Even
though the picture was 20" x 30" !!
Watch out Dana!!

kitty shrink after I showed him the picture!!!
Stripees says He's much to regal a kitty for this nonsense!

| re:19
well, I agree - that baby is regal - a King of Kings. It's his
face - or is it that searching look he has when he is in the ring,
checking out the cage next to his to see if there is a girl in it?
Hmm, oh boy, a girl - the heck with this judging stuff, just give
me a girl, mom!
