[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you all. I see that I'm definitely not alone, and I'm impressed with what people will do for their cats. I just talked to my mom, who told me my kids are getting a lesson in love - that made me feel better. My DH is also touched by how protective the kids are of the cat, which is partly why he has backed off a bit.

My mom suggested getting a tarp from Home Depot and throwing it over the sofa at night and when we're out. My cat is peeing when we're home now too, but I can keep an eye on him.

I'm grateful that my cat is 15 and not younger - I know this won't last forever. He's had a very good, happy life.

Thank you all, for the feedback.[/quote]

PP here.  Absolutely. Do this, OP.  Listen to your mom.  : )[/quote]

+1.

My relatively young cat has recently gone blind. Sometimes, she finds the litter box, and sometimes she doesn't. I know she tries, just like I see her try to jump up on the couch or find her favorite toy. While I can easily get annoyed at having to lay out tarps and towels and clean up after her, I can't confine her to a small place. Every morning, she finds herself a lovely spot in the sun and I can't take that away from her. For me, when I took her in, I promised her the best life for her, not necessarily the best life for me. So, we have tarps and bought stock in the those sprays that clean up and remember that the love we get from her is so much greater than the irritation of this problem.

Your DH sounds like a kind and generous partner and I hope you both can work out a way to help your cat have a wonderful, remaining life.[/quote]
