Lily is my female, Siamese mix cat. She's overweight, picky, and likes to scratch/chew. She's chewed approximately $80 worth of headphones of mine, scratched multiple things (we don't blame her for scratching, her scratching post broke down a while ago and we haven't bothered getting a new one), and pees where she wants if the litter box isn't clean.<br><br>We always thought, "She's a Siamese, they're very clean, particular cats. We'll just keep her litter box as clean as possible, whenever we can." So, it stays pretty clean. Sometimes it gets pretty bad, but someone -always- does it. We have two cats, so we have to keep up on it.<br><br>I woke up this morning and my mom told me, "Litter box is clean, don't worry about it after school." So I nodded and went on with my business to get ready for school.<br><br>I get to the bathroom, step in front of the mirror, and <span style="font-style:italic">OH! Eww, what's is that on my foot?</span> Cat pee. Lily for sure. Lizzie NEVER, EVER pees anywhere except the litter box, no matter it's cleanliness or dirtiness. Disgusting, right? So I'm pissed off. Her litter box is CLEAN! CLEAN!<br><br>And, seriously. Lily is perfectly fine, nothing wrong with her! No bladder conditions, etc. She can pee in her litter box. And I know some cats will pee on plastic bags because... well, I don't know why, but they do. She doesn't pee on those. Ever. Although, we don't leave them lying around, either. She just pees. On anything.
<br><br>AND MY POOR HEADPHONES! I love my iPod to death. And my cellphone headphones! Didn't even get to use them once and BAM! they're already wrecked and thrown away. It's really, really angering. -Sigh-<br><br>So, I've come to make a really, really, really hard decision. Lily is getting a new home. A good one. But to who? I don't know. I'll post fliers, talk to some people, meet some families... until I find the right one. She'd do better in a household with no cats but herself (so she can eat indoor cat food and lose some weight... another cat might not need to eat that kind of food).<br><br>Mom said, maybe, I can get my own choice of adult cat from the local shelter. One that's affectionate, fits our lifestyle, and doesn't have any huge problems. And one that -likes- me. (Lily hates me). But Lily's almost 4 years old and I'm gonna have a hard time giving her up, let alone "replacing" her.<br><br>Ugh. I love Lily. But, I can't handle her behavior anymore.
