Scruffles

Would anyone be interested in a wonderful, fluffy, lovable, orange cat? He has been in our family for 13 1/2 years and we do not want to part with him but it looks like we will have to.

Since we have gotten our new carpet, Scruffles has pooped on it just about every day.

We have tried locking him up at night, changing the litter box frequently, putting all sorts of stuff on the carpet to get him to stop, and buying this expensive $60 pheremone stuff to get him to stop. He thinks this carpet is a giant litter box. Most likely because it is so soft.

We love Scruff. This is so hard - now Erik wishes we hadn't gotten the new carpet; he was fine before that.

So we lock him in the basement forever or try to find someone who would be willing to take him and give us visitation rights. He is a part of our family. However we will have a new baby in a month and we do not want poop on the carpet. That is not going to work.

Now you might ask yourself, why would I want a cat who poops on the carpet? Great question. I believe it is our new carpet that is causing this behavior, not that he has forgotten how to go in the litter box. So if anyone in the world reading this blog would like Scruffles and he poops on your carpet, we will take him back.

Just throwing this out there - who wouldn't want a lovable, fluffy, orange cat?
