One of my cats, Snot, is a bitch for spraying. She is desexed, and was before she turned into a teenager.
She had a bladder infection a while back, and thats thought to have been caused by stress.
Cleared all that up, but now she is marking the area near the kettle. First I knew of this was yellow droplets in/on the bowls that live there. Then I saw that the base of the kettle had yellow droplets.
Of course, this just isn't on. She does it at night when I cant see. Ok, I *assume* it is Snot, because I have seen her marking other places. I have the pepper laying on its side next to the bowls so she is avoiding that bit. But the kettle is fair game for her. Sprinkling pepper works, but I have to wipe that up every morning.
I think that she is marking because of the dog thats here. This morning she squirted ME while I was on the loo! That most definitely isn't on.
This link isn't much good. I think I'll have to do the pepper thing, and wait for the dog to go.
Drives me up the wall. But I'm glad its not a boy cat doing it!

I called Quarantine on Saturday. Tasmania is an island state with fairly strict quarantine laws, so when I found that the dog biscuity bones had little brown beetles in them, and they were from Qld, I called. Well, I thought we did. The quarantine officer who called me back was all 'oh, its probably nothing, we have indigenous bugs, they probably got into the biscuits here.' :s he didn't listen when I said there were beetles in a SEALED bag.
A woman called me this morning and will be here to collect the biscuits some time today.
Google tells me they are carpet beetles. But not varied carpet beetles. Mine look like this. Its hard to find out if they are ok HERE, or whether its the varied one we have. This is the Australian carpet beetle. CSIRO link. Still not mine. But hey, if I listened to the guy who called, I could have easily said 'oh, we have brown bugs? ok then.'
Anyway, we will see what the quarantine officer says when she gets here.
