Cats and Cigarettes
I have come to the conclusion that Ketchup dislikes the smell of cigarette smoke. Not really a surprise. No one likes it. For the most part, while my mother was gone Ketchup has ceased to urinate on things, that is, once the overpowering smell of smoke had left. Now that she is back, seems she has once again started. Last night I discover that she wet my bed, which was slightly annoying, and as I was on my way to bed just now I see hat she mistook a skirt for a litter box.
Why than does she only pee on my things my mother asks? Well, she doesn't, not really. When she returned there was a mass discovery of things that had been peed upon, all belonging to my mother.
When my mother came home we discussed her smoking outside. Well, we actually talked about it when we moved in, but that is a whole another story. It was decided that she would not smoke indoors. She would be able to smoke at the French balcony thing, or go outside. But not inside. This is not happening so much. She says that it is just too stressful and inconvenient. That she does not need it, she is not being selfish and such, that it is something that she is struggling with and the added pressure is not helping. Well, truthfully, I feel that she is. I dislike the smell. The cat dislikes the smell. If it is too stressful,and something with which she is struggling, then don't bloody do it. End of story.
Yes, it is her apartment, but I live here too. She does not like the 'cat smell' So i try very hard to insure that the apartment does not smell like cats. This is a new thing since she came home.
I;m rather frustrated, annoyed, and kind of hurt actually, by this whole smoking thing.
