if your cats are ok with having their paws touched its like a sinch to put them on, i used them on my one cat for a while, he's BIG and thinks hes little and likes to use his claws when he thinks hes going to fall D:

I really believe that she pee'd in the house because she is mad that I brought in the kitten - I don't think it is a litter box issue - she is just a brat.

I think we are going to rehome the kitten - we've only had her for three weeks so it will be easier to rehome her. I've had the other two cats for 11 years - can't make them leave - LOL!!!!

Hopefully once the kitten is gone - the other cats will straighten up.

She's not mad, she's marking her territory - they don't do this for revenge.

I agree with you on the de-claw. I had my college kitties declawed in the early 80's and one was a botched job and I swore I'd never, ever do that again.

The two I have now are intact, and just keeping up a routine of regularly trimming their nails has worked well for me!

I swear by Feliway (which someone mentioned earlier)... They make a spray and a plug in, it's a pheromone that helps calm them down when they are threatened by environmental changes, etc.. It is a little pricey, but it absolutely works!!

Also, the rule of thumb for litter boxes is to have 1 more litter box than you have cats (even though they were fine before kitten came along).. It's best to space them out throughout the house as well so they have options on where they want to go.. I know it sounds like a pain, but generally fixes inappropriate urination problems....

I hope this helps, and I hope the kitten doesn't have to find a new place to stay........:(
