Okay, I love my cat to death most of the time....but it's times like this when I just want to wring his neck! And I'm not kidding! I don't know what is keeping me from strangling him!

He has just peed all over my couch. AGAIN. I have never had male cats before, and so this whole peeing all over things to mark his territory is very annoying. He's three years old! He should have grown out of this! I keep thinking if he was my kid, how patient would I be? Well, if he were my kid, at least he'd learn to grow out of it eventually!!!

HELP?!??!! Anyone? He usually pees when he gets upset, like if I haven't been home, or if I have a new roomate or boyfriend (he gets very jealous). But tonight there was none of the above! And I actually saw him do it tonight! He just kind of scrunched down and peed, right in front of me. What the heck???? And it was on one of his favorite lounging spots!! The last thing I want to be doing at 12 am is cleaning my couch.

He used to only pee on my bedspread. Yuck, I know. But at least I could just get cheap bedspreads and wash and replace them. But my couch?? That's gettin expensive! And GROSS!

With dogs you usually rub their noses in it, to teach them not to do it again. What do you do with cats??

I'm exasperated.
