Cat Is Peeing On Clothing?Last year when I first adopted my cat in February, she had already had a habit of peeing on things and being stressed by my dogs just made it worse. When I finally moved out in August of 2018 it stopped all together. She was happy and loved that there were no little dogs to terrorize her. It's been over a year with no more accidents; up until last week, she hasn't peed on anything at all.

Identifying Little Black Biting Bugs?I've suffered in all aspects- mostly now mentally I suppose, for over a year from bug bites that hurt, itch, more than anything I've ever felt. I've also been "stung, bitten," to extremes where I sweat in pain, and scream! They are teeny, and burrow in my skin. They look black mostly, and the sores eventually become huge, thick ugly scabs.
