That was my first and immediate thought. Followed then by notions of a swift soccer kick to the side that would launched the first offender into the wall.

One of these days I may just decide to urinate directly on the cat.

You sound like a cat lover.
Lover/hater on certain days. But I find them to be amazing creatures despite their maddening habits: highly intelligent; an uncanny sense of their keepers' moods; and quite resourceful

I for one, think that the title ("Cats") of a rants thread needs no further discussion. Other than to throw and see if they land on their feet, I do not understand them.

Can you tame a wild cat? We have a bunch of wild one just roaming around in the fields. They look like normal cats, good fur etc... but I don't know if it's possible to take one in and train it.

They're probably feral cats. You couldn't get close enough to bring them in if you wanted to.

HJ, they may be healthy but could have urinary tract problems. That's one reason they go outside the box. Or wart is correct. Clean the box!!!

That's was my impression. They have to be pretty good hunters, because they look well fed and otherwise healthy. When you drive by if they are on the side of the road they just stop and give you the evil eye. Really pretty, they look like regular pet cats.

We had them both checked a month ago. No signs of a UTI, though the vet suggested we change the food, which we did.

It's very likely behavioral. Things have been crazy at home lately. We were gone 11 days over Christams, and then I went out skiing for another 8 days in mid-January. We have also had workers in the house (new carpet) and other disruptions. I think they are just fed up with all the commotion.

Do the asterisks in the thread title stand for "Action"?
