My New Definition of Creativity



Doing absurd things to attempt to keep the cat from peeing on stuff. (Please note that the cat checking out the foil-covered basket is the innocent party, not the guilty one.)

I pulled down the ironing basket the other night to do some rare-around-here ironing. I'd already done a few articles of clothing when... I smelled it. Calvin had peed in the ironing basket. I had to rewash everything, including some of what I'd already ironed. *sigh*

I haven't been able to find a place to put the basket where kitties can't access it. It was on top of my armoire, after all, but Calvin found his way up there. So I'm hoping that the foil will foil his desire to urinate on my clothes. (Pun totally intended.) We'll see...

I'm snickering at the kitty who IS poking his head in there. He's obviously confused by what's going on here! I hope your plan works!

I feel for you. I had the same issue with my elderly kitty and it seems like just when you think you've out wited them they find a new place to pee.

One of my cats used to jump into the ceiling through a hole in the laudry room and we had the worst time getting him out. So we covered the hole with tinfoil and it seems to have stopped him from going there. Good luck!
