I would however just like to add two resounding cheers for Princess Noni Baroni and Master William Whiz for being no trouble whatsoever in the toilet dep't   

Hurrah!! She is a Princess, definitely.

I swear I can't figure it out Gill.

On another thread I've posted a pic of Freddie and his hareem which you've seen.  The current worst  piddlers offenders are Freddie and Millie but Dinah has twice pee'd on duvets and Ruby had a spell of carpet piddling a couple of months back.  They all seem to get on pretty well except Dinah who usually, not always, hates all cats and loves all humans esp her dad.  Dinah spends very little time in the house though and when she is in, she is usually alone.  I know Freddie has terrible difficulties accepting the concept of closed doors and Millie was pretty OK until the roof episode.  Dinah will absolutely not be shut in and of course once one cat piddles, the piddling spot is fair game for everyone to have a shot  

I'm bringing Freddie to vet at 10am tomorrow.  He has a couple of sores; one on shoulder blade that I think keeps being aggravated by catflap and one on his chest.  He has had skin probs (stress related, who knows?) on and off and I expect to come away with some Fuciderm again.  Anyway he has also lost a bit of weight over last 12 months (4.4kg down to 3.9kg) and is sometimes off his food but had a very good feed tonight.  He absolutely loves chasing the girls I'm afraid and they chase back so I think it may just be exercise and too much excitement?  Tomorrow's vet is a young Australian slip of a thing who is very sweet and probably fresh from Vet School.  I mustn't be disparaging but I just so know I'll have heard it all before, be no further along and at least £30 lighter of pocket. Sigh 

I'm sure it is behavioural but am hoping things will sort themselves out over the winter when we will all be inside a great deal more.  Dinah even came in early tonight  .

I have so much sympathy with you Rosella...is it too many cats do you think or does one particularily not like another.

Maybe your vet would be willing to give you a referral to a behaviorist.....Vicky Halls comes to mind.

I know you love the girls but it must be really frustrating to have this problem   

Don't tell Millie Helen but, after spending the night on the roof, she would get forgiven anything at all 

Thanks for making me laugh BM, sorry but it really does help to know we're not alone and I could so picture the scene.  My OH has exactly the same hearing problem but somehow seems to have heard the suggestion not to leave his clothes on the floor after Millie pee'd on them   

[Bazsmum]

Im sure they do that just to add to our confusion Rosella.....My Gizzy has particular places of preference, I keep telling OH not to put things on a certain place on the kitchen counter.....As usual this has no effect either (telling OH to not do someithing!) He put two boxes of tiles there, I complained, he lifted them to move, box fell apart and tiles went smash on the floor...Gizzy had beaten him to it!  to the pair of them!

No tips or advice I'm afraid, just sympathy - I know you love the girls but it must be really frustrating to have this problem

As some will know, we have peeing probs that took on another dimension following Millie night stuck on the roof.

Things seemed to calm down a bit but I thought I noticed a whiff of pee in kitchen yesterday but couldn't track it down and got side tracked. 

Cleaning kitchen after breakfast this morning, I picked up microfibre cloth I use to clean down all work tops and cooker and the smell hit me.  I have a tendency to leave it on the radiator to dry after use and stopped Millie from peeing on it following roof incident a few weeks back.  When I looked under radiator, there was obviously dried up pee on tiles on floor which means it has gone through middle of radiator     Anyway thinking about it, I used it as usual on all work tops yesterday too  so have spent an age cleaning everything again. 

I had stopped putting cloth on radiator for a few weeks but thought it was now safe to go back to old habits. You live and learn.
