[insert usual angst here]

Not a lot at all going on recently.

Today I did a little more gardening and some plotting and scheming for Guido's Treasure, around playing more Neverwinter nights. Everyone better be available next Sunday - we've missed three weeks now.

Watched some TV - The Human Body was covering puberty. I think I may have taken an unusual and possibly prolonged course through it. Possibly I haven't finished yet, that would explain a few things :D

Nah, life never stops the process of change.

Caught (most of) an episode of the American Antiques Roadshow - didn't grab me quite the same way the UK version does. The presentation seemed a lot less ... organic. More sterile and set up. Still interesting though.

Managed to grab the cat from the hallway and position him over the dirtbox before he threw up, and then moments later grab him from behind the couch and put him outside before he crapped inside. I know he's been pissing behind there, and under the table in the kitchen, but I can never catch him in the act and I can't come up with any other way to discourage him.

I'd like to think I could go to bed now and be asleep before midnight, but it just ain't happening :( More Neverwinter perhaps.

Orange or lemon peels left in the places he pisses should discourage him, for two reasons:

1. Cats pee somewhere they can smell cat-pee from previous occasions.
2. Cats really dislike the smell of citrus.

Orange or lemon peels cover up the smell of cat-pee, and it's a smell they don't like in the first place.

If it continues, a trip to the vet might be in order -- there might be something physical going on which results in "inappropriate urination".

Thaks Miche, I'll try that.

I don't think it's anything physical, or I'd expect it to be happening in my room at the other end of the house (where he spends much of his time) as well. I think it's laziness and the fact that he hasn't been told off for going again in locations which have at one time or another historically been "dirtbox". (Under the table was where I put it while he was recovering from dog attack and behind the couch is where he used to go if he'd been accidently left inside, before there was an inside dirtbox).

The american version seems to focus too much on the price for me :( I prefer the UK version too, they tend to focus more on an antique's origins and history.
