I have two cats, an 11.5 year old calico, Tybee and a 9 year old calico, Coda. Coda is one who has never jumped up on anything except the bed and where he food sits in her area. Tybee on the other hand is one who explores anywhere she can, including the kitchen counters (problem #1). Over the last week, my husband and I have woken up 3 times to a very unpleasant experience...cat poop, and now pee, on the kitchen counter right where Tybee likes to perch herself (problem #2). We have been in this house for 9 months and have not had this problem at all until this last week. Matter of fact, I have never had this problem with her or any other cat I have owned. We have been packing over the last few weeks because we have purchased a new home. And, with it being pretty cold outside we have been letting our boxer, Dallas stay in at night. We have done this many times before, with no reprocussions from either feline. My husband is fed up with this behavior, as I am too, and has said that he doesn't want the cats at our new house. Help, please! I have had these 2 since they were kittens. I can't just find a new home for them, and I don't see how, if this behavior continues, my husband will ever regain trust in Tybee. Any thoughts, tips, ideas as to why she would just now begin doing this and what I can do to prevent it? Also, in regards to problem #1, how do I keep her off the counter? Thanks for any help you can provide. :sad
