1. You think your ticked off . . .
think about how the poor ficus feels. You're only pissed off, the tree got pissed on.

Poor tree.

2. Get some smooth, round riverbed-type rocks....
after you re-pot the tree, pack them in on top of the dirt. Kitty won't pee on top of the rocks because kitty wants to dig in the dirt.

Good luck.

6. That works, too!
Maybe better than my wife's marble idea.

5. Cats love to pee in large indoor pots.
Mrs. IconCat solved this problem by covering the dirt up with 2 layers of really cheap marbles (better than foil, because the soil is still able to breathe). Now, our cats don't even bother to scratch.

7. I was told to use foil, but I think one of our dogs would eat it.
she eats anything. I'll check out the marbles, it just might be cheaper than river stones.

8. The foil doesn't work! My cats clawed right through it.
Maybe they like it because it feels like they're outdoors, rather than stuck inside for all eternity.

10. leg-weaving
Y'know how it is when a cat "weaves" itself in and out of your legs when you're trying to walk? I have a "weaver" who almost got me killed this morning when I was walking toward the back stairs. She's a real sweetie and I love her to pieces, but she's a definite leg-weaver.

11. Welcome to DU, zanne!
My cats have never peed inappropriately, thank God - Simba is also very lovey-dovey, and I step on his tail constantly or shut his tail in a door because I don't know he's there. You'd think I'd learn to look.
