Seriously I'm fed up, got up this morning and had the usual cat shit smell wafting up at me, cat had pooed outside the tray too. Cleaned that up, could still smell poo, then DD1 asks "what's that I've stepped on" yes cat had shit on the rug, whole downstairs of hard floor and he shits on the long pile rug, clean rug and DD1s foot. Then every time DS has come near he needed a nappy change, 8 nappies today. Then DH comes home, he's got an upset stomach and keeps farting, they are disgusting, making me heave, the whole house has a nice eau de fart smell, oh and to top it all off bastard cat has shit in litter tray and stank the downstairs off again, argh!!!!

Lock cat and dh up together in shed/garage/under the stairs. Problem solved.

Namechangegalore · 04/09/2012 22:53

This is why I Don't like cats.

Change your cat food. Cats poo doesn't smell as bad if you feed better quality food.

HappyAsChips · 04/09/2012 22:55

Sorry, but your post did make me laugh 'Eau de fart'
Is your cat an indoor cat? If not, don't provide it with a litter tray and make it go outside! Banish it from the house at night (that's what we do). I can just about cope with lots of smells emanating from my Dh's and Dc's bottoms, but start the day with the revolting stink of cat crap? Eugh! You have my sympathies.

sweetkitty · 04/09/2012 22:56

Namechangegalore - was one of your name changes nappiesgalore?

I'm in bed if farting DH comes up here and contaminates the room I will scream, apparently I've to feel sorry for him as he has a dodgy tum.

YANBU. Shit smells, well.... shitty.

This is why as much as I love dogs, I wouldn't get one. It's bad enough cleaning DC smelly arses all the time. And holding my nose pretty much every time DH has been in the bathroom. I couldn't bear smelling a farty animal too!

sweetkitty · 04/09/2012 22:57

Hiddenhome - have tried loads do different cat foods, he's a huge lazy indoor beast that does huge poos and pest even attempt to cover them.

Well now shut him in the bathroom with his tray at night!

sweetkitty · 04/09/2012 23:00

Oh and I'm in the bathroom DD3 and DS in the bath, having taken off one of DSs pooey nappies 5 mins previous, DD3 announces she needs a poo, so out he bath she comes then stinks out the bathroom.

Is that true Hidden? I'm sure our cat's poo was still revolting when we had him on Royal Canin (which he now won't eat as he prefers to slum it on Go Cat - go figure).

NCForNow · 04/09/2012 23:00

Oh and if you keep the tray somewhere OTHER than the bathroom or utility then YABU!

Cat trays belong AWAY from living quarters!

I have a cat so am allowed to say that.

sweetkitty · 04/09/2012 23:01

The cat or DH, ncfornow Grin not possible wouldn't have door left from him scratching it and would have to listen to him miaowing all night.

TheSmallClanger · 04/09/2012 23:02

Have you got a hooded tray? I look after cats at work, and you can normally only smell the shite if it's really full, or you're standing right over the tray.

Both of my dogs can fart for England. Disgusting stinking egg farts.

sweetkitty · 04/09/2012 23:03

Cat tray is located in the back of a large cupboard in the kitchen, door needs to be kept open as he needs access, it's a lidded tray as well, I can be sitting 2 rooms away and can smell it. I've posted many a thread on here, have tried different diets and different litters.

Namechangegalore · 04/09/2012 23:08

No sweetkitty, it wasn't, although my world does revolve around nappies these days.

RedBeret · 04/09/2012 23:14

bloody hilarious thread OP Grin

Lora1982 · 05/09/2012 00:21

It wasn't the cat that was farting he was only pooing, DH was farting, can't really change his food or lock him outside.

The cat is the most useless, grumpy cat ever, he will go outside if no one is looking at him, if you look at him whilst he is outside he runs back in, he only wants to go outside to eat a bit of grass to the sick it up, usually on the rug.

I know someone who does a line in cat fur accessories. Want me to contact them for you??!! It would be over real quick!!

CatsRule · 05/09/2012 08:43

I have no constructive advice but had to say that you made me laugh so much with this post...totally cheered me up! xxx

P.s. I have a cat...and a baby...and a farty dh so can sympathise!!

valiumredhead · 05/09/2012 10:07

Don't cats go outside anymore? When did litter trays inside become the norm, it never used to be when I was growing up...

YANBU OP -kick him outside along with the cat!

Namechangegalore · 05/09/2012 11:03

Just had a thought, but, don't you have windows in your house?

sweetkitty · 05/09/2012 16:49

No namechangesgalore no windows I live in a tunnel Grin I'm one of these mad windows open in all weathers types. Although every time a windows open just now about 5 dying wasps fly in.

Don't tempt me I'm sure I could make a nice pair of gloves put of smelly cat!

No poo this morning and only two dirty nappies from DS, my house is positively fragrant. DH not home yet I hope he brings home a nicer bum than last nights.

I love people who think "let the cat crap outside and you won't have to deal with it". You mightn't, but the person who's garden it chooses to crap in will.
If your cat's shit revolts you, why do you imagine a stranger who chooses not to have a cat would appreciate it any more?
