    Well, you're intentions were genuine, but maybe I'm not quite the full picnic after all! ^^
    Jemma, sweetheart? I know it's just my opinion and all but...

    I think you are QUITE the picnic, just the way you are! Who needs all those sandwiches, anyway?!?

        Ugh Why is Berlin the LAST PLACE in Western Europe to ban smoking? I miss summer and the ability to breathe and not get really sick when I go out. One day into Autumn and I already have cabin fever....

            So I get home from work today all excited to try a new chili recipe, go to the bathroom, and my brand stinkin' new stinkin' bathmat has been nearly drenched in pee by my bloody kitten.... Why? My other bath mat got eaten by my first cat, now I get a new one and it is suddenly a bloody litter box! She pees nowhere else in the house except the litter box and my new bathmat! Stupid kitty!!!!! GAH!!!!

              Magpie has decided that now the futon is no longer a second toilet, the mat around the bathroom sink is a good substitute too. You can see her litter tray from the bathroom door. She has no excuse!!

                I totally get it! My kitty has no excuse eigther, the bath mat is in the same bloody room! It is actually harder to get to the mat than it is her box!

                All I wanted was a nice new mat that the big kitty would'nt tear apart, and the little kitty turns it into a toilet, I don't even get to have it clean for 2 weeks before I have to throw it away, pee also apparently does NOT come out of memory foam...
                There's got to be a lesson here... somewhere...

                  One thing I learned about Kittens NEVER take them from their Mothers to early, Mother Cats train their kittens to do all the things that we humans desire from them. Using the litterbox is one. I really don't think we humans can train them aboutit,it is a lesson they learn from other grown Cats. This may be the problem,that the kittens were separated to soon from their Mothers.

                    Anunitu is right. I got my cat as a gift from my mother, who gave him to me at FIVE WEEKS OLD. I spent the next six months training him not to pee on everything I owned.

                      Re: THE RANT THREAD!

                      I've wondered that too. We got Moggypie at 6 weeks, which they say is old enough, but I wonder if maybe another week would have done her good. JP's mum has had many cats over the years, and she says that even fully litter trained cats will sometimes pick a second toilet. She says it happens more in a multicat home, if only one tray is offered, because some cats need their own toilet and won't share. She also has a queen who won't poop if there is already a poop in the tray. She will do number two, number two, on the mat! She lived with other cats from birth, so had plenty others to learn from.

                      I guess cats are just sometimes a bit contrary by nature. Even in the ideal situation, even when you do all you can, they still don't do as we wish sometimes.

                      Putting citronella behind the TV, did stop her going behind there altogether, so you could try that. It might keep your kitten away from the litter box too though. Unless there is somewhere else ypu can keep it for the time being (we don't use the citronella now, but she still respects the space behind the TV as a no-go zone).

                        I sometimes wonder if my cat was taken away from his mother too early. He's elderly, so now he'll just pee on anything soft on the floor because it's convenient, but I found that even when he was younger, he'd pee on things. He also seems to get separation anxiety really easily, and he's never been very good at cleaning himself.

                          Eh my shelter cat is obnoxiously well behaved, the one with the pee issue was a former feral, I imagine the mother made the separation decision about her, but she's clearly a runt... and I think we are lucky she doesn't have far more social issues. I would have a few peoblems too if someone came up behind me and chopped my leg off at less than 3 months old.
                          She does have an odd penchant for stealing dice though...

                          My rant is that she is too cute to get mad at to her face, so I have to whine on the forum and put everyone off....

                            That's frequently the issue. My Cats peeing seems to be territorial most of the time.
