[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Some of you are just nuts. I am not a "kitty mommy".  I am a pet owner.  Yes, cat was with me for about 3 years before I married. Husband willingly took in cat as part of the deal. Yes, I had four kids after the cat was there first. Am I supposed to not have children so the cat can be more comfortable? No. It's a cat. I love animals but there is relative value: in a fire, I save the human and wish the cat my best. Is it worth serious damage to my marriage to ensure my anxious, pissing, puking, geriatric cat squeezes every last nanosecond out of her life expectancy? Nope.  Would I put the cat down (i.e., kill) if the choice was stable marriage versus rehoming geriatric scaredy-piss-cat? Yes, I would.

All that being said: she hasn't peed for a week or so now, so the death sentence in on hold. Wish her a happy and controlled bladder so it stays this way. I do believe she's getting kitty senile (mildly) and/or has pain from climbing, as that seems to be what's behind the pee issues (we moved what I'd consider to be extremely minor obstacles - like, a few inches high threshold to climb over on way to box - and all has been better). IF she resumes peeing all over and IF we can fix it with a basement litter box situation and IF it appears to be mobility or senility related, she'll get a big hug and a big shot. Apparently I am cruel and heartless but I guess I can live with that. [/quote]
