Oops!
It appears I rejoiced to soon. I returned from my symphony concert last night to find a little spot on my purple rug. Aaaargh!! So much for my theory. I guess it's good-bye to fame, riches, and dry rugs.

We've found that caging a cat in a cardboard box top-down over the "spot" with the cat inside and a heavy weight on top for about 3 hours seems to encourage them to dig their own out-house quite well.
Of course we've never had in-door cats, but the mat on the front porch was a recent favorite of one of our kittens. 4 hours penned up with their own smell teaches them to WANT to bury it deeply and far away. :-)
ok, I'm just gonna say this, and results be *.
Why are you ordering your life around a CAT?
There. I've said it. come what may...
Spoken like a true cat hater.
Two suggestions:
1. Get a litter box.
2. Keep the bathroom doors shut.
:-)
Lol...
Like I said, he has a litter box which he uses most of the time. And we'd rather not shut the doors.
I think Jeremy's idea sounds fetching. While Cheeky is thus confined, you could have him read How to Win Friends and Influence People. A cat that runs like the wind when anybody besides Marge or Kristi is around doesn't have enough winningness to get away with "Oops, I peed on your rug again."
I wont get into the health aspects of having a farm animal in your living space...
Yes cats, however cute, are nothing more then work-animals. It's fun to cuddle, pet and play with same; but when it comes right down to it, if they don't do their job---namely kill mice and other vermin---they have no real value.
Intrinsic value, yes, but is that really worth the health dangers of sleeping and eating in close proximity to a farm animal? A question to ponder.
(BTW: I LOVE cats, and am the furthest from a cat-hater you can find.)
Does Cheeky McFuzz know he's a farm animal? Time to break out the mini straw hat and bib overalls!!!
LOL! I think he'd be highly insulted.
Of course I'm only speaking from my perspective.
I will gladly admit there are valid perspectives other then my own. :-)
(And Cheeky has let me pet 'im a few times. So at least he doesn't hate me.)
I would like to state, in my defense, I am not a cat hater.
I am simply what one could not call an animal lover. I do not discriminate...
Love the mental picture of Cheeky in straw hat and overalls. Our cats certainly serve a useful purpose other than entertaining the kids. They keep the rodent population under control in this big ol' country farmhouse. Just two days ago one of them caught a mole on our back porch. This usefulness is the only thing that has kept me from getting rid of them when they have peed on the carpet and are incessantly begging to come in or go out. At least Jed can open the doors for them now!
