Kacy

Kacy has been displaying some negative behaviors lately.  She does not feel it is necessary to use the litter box.  I took her to the vet to rule out a bladder infection.  The vet confirmed what we already knew.  She is a spoiled brat.
The vet suggested we let her be outside more, since she feels she is peeing to protest not being able to go outside.  In the human world, this is known as Child Directed Parenting.  This basically involves giving kids whatever they want, despite any bad habits it may lead to.
We thought we'd give it a try, as I don't like my cat peeing on the floor.

 If she wants to nap in the towels, we let her.
 If she wants to jump onto the kitchen sink to look out the window, we let her.
 If she wants to plop down right at the top of the stairs, we let her.

If she wants to nap on the kitchen table, we let her.

She has not had one 'accident' since letting her have her way.
