as every cat owner knows, nobody owns a cat

the return of the ru has left me in quite a predicament.

the reason rufus was put outside in the first place was because he ruined our carpet in the front room. well, turns out he wasn't the only culprit.

so the whole time my poor rufus was wandering around lost in the big scary world outside our door, tokey was living the life. he had the house to himself. we let him sleep with us every night because we thought he was sad.

well, not only has dang tokey tried to kill rufus twice since he returned (i have never heard a cat scream quite like token), but i caught him spraying the carpet in the front room.

i have the two cats separated in the two bathrooms. rufus has the upstairs and token has the powder room downstairs.

i have no idea what to do. they can't live in the bathrooms. i don't want to put them outside and go through the same ordeal i went through with rufus again. i really don't know what to do.

i have a vet appointment for rufus so he can get a look over to make sure he is ok after his big adventure. i will talk to the vet about the situation with the gatos.

i hate to say it, but i may have to give up one of my cats or quite possibly both.

they did so good until we moved to this house. they were best friends. now they are being stupid male cats and trying to show dominance over the other and it is not cool! they've been neutered so i don't get where this is coming from.

i can't handle it any more. i always thought dogs were more work than cats but geez, pico is a walk in the park compared to this two. literally, all we have to do is take pico for a walk in the park and he is one happy camper. the more walks he gets, the less accidents we have inside.

suggestions?

love.
