    *WARNING SHAMELESS HIJACK ALERT*

    Linda one of our cats is THIS close to getting put down. He is peeing everywhere and when he pees, he pees I mean its loads and loads and loads. We've tried everything, He's blind, has high blood pressure problems and has a skin complaint and is a very very nervous cat. We love him to bits but the house stinks of cat pee, he hasnt got a bladder infection cause he aint 'spotting' and he's eating and drinking ok. We've tried to be patient but its got to the point where we put him (and the other one as well) out every night because we just dont know what we are gonna wake up to. HELP, mi wife's gonna gan mental :(

    How would you rate his quality of life? Is he happy or distressed by it all?

    a bit too heavy for my liking i remember there being a pantera song that everyone was obsessed with but I can't remember any details :rolleyes:
    I like a bit of everything really, used to be obsessed with Placebo and had a fair bit of korn, nirvana, system of a down etc but I've mellowed in my not-so-old age.
    Now i like anything i can sing or dance along with and isn't too loud:o

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Well he has always been a nervous cat and i mean really nervous. Him being blind doesnt help him as he is more on edge, Im not sure about his quality of life is affected too much by his blindness. I don't wanna put a cat down because we cant stand the smell of cat pee or that he is ruining everything that he pees on. Problem is, and he's always been a 'swamper' is that he saturates everything. If he pees in a clean litter tray, all the litter is soaked. Think I might take him to the vets tonight.

    My MIL's cat has an allergy to something unknown and when ever he's come into contact with it thats all he seems to do :( poor things I wish they could tell us whats wrong.
    My dog lives with my parents (could bear to spilt her up from her actual dog mummy when I left home) she keeps having fits but the vet won't put her on meds for it unless she has fits at least once a week which at the moment she isn't but its awful she looks so scared when she has one we all end up in tears! her doggy mum is getting old and her hips keep giving out, we know she wouldn't last long if we had to have the other put down and my mum keeps suggesting we put them both down :eek: I just can't bear the thought tho :cry: Don't want to have to try and explain it to my 2yr old either...
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    It could just be that he's feeling insecure!
