hi -

no my cats arent done - and i have no plans to get them done - with regards to simple solution - ive tried it many times - leaving it to soak in for a few days at a time - it really doesnt stop them. i have 4 or 5 litter trays down at any one time - so thats only 2 cats to a tray.

First of all, if you know which cats are doing it then I would get them checked out at the vets to eliminate any UTI problems.

I note you said you have plenty of litter trays - which is great but have you considered trying a different litter in a couple of them. If you are using a clumping - shift to a non-clumping or maybe recycled paper or wood based one. It may be the cats making the mess just don't like the litter you currently use and look to go elsewhere.

Are all your trays open - if so, perhaps buy one hooded or vice versa.

You could try a couple of feliway diffusers (plug ins) around the room to see if that helps.

Good luck.

Im so glad im not alone...... all cats are well and healthy - ive tried different litters in the past - ive finally settled on wood pellets which they are all happy with and everyone of them uses. thats why i dont know what else to do as they use the tray and know whats its for which is why i dont see why they have the need to use the sofa as well...... i used to have hooded trays but some of the cats didnt like them so use normal ones now - again they are all happy with them.

what are the diffusers like??? could you let me know a bit more about them, thanks.....
