Every once in a while I just get into a funk and break contact with the world for a little while. During deployments this happens more often than other times and I have to work harder to breakout of it. I am going to try to call a friend or family member at least every other day for the next 2 weeks to keep me out of seclusion. I am also going to post daily while the kids are at school or after they go to bed. For now I am going to address my current challenge.
My current challenge comes in the form of our adorable, energetic kitten. Hobbes has recently begun peeing in corners and on the stairs. I spent the weekend pulling the rug from the living room and front hall outside and soaking them with vinegar and water. I soaked the floors and let them air dry before waxing them. It was a lot of work but he hasn't peed in his old spots since. I thought we were doing good until this morning when Avery found her belt and a notebook in her room moist and stinky. Then I saw the pee on the stairs. His cat box is clean and he is still using it. I have spent hours researching what his problem could be. He is only 12 weeks old so he shouldn't be scent marking yet. The vet's office said that he is too young to neuter. He goes to the vet next week for a check up. Until then I stocked up on vinegar and baking soda at the commissary this morning.
