Thanks again for all who replied to my pleas for help. Cleo and Missy are behaving much better. I went around the house and cleaned along all the walls and in the corners. We switched litter and they seem to like it better or something because they both use the litterbox now. Still having problems with garbage and the ferret but we only put the icky stuff in the can she can't knock over so mostly its just paper. I have been firmly reprimanding Cleo whenever I catch her doing something bad... Now that things have settled down and everything is unpacked the kids are behaving much better. Cleo has adopted the big pile of boxes in the spare bedroom as her new playhouse. I wanted to also send get well wishes to Keesa and Barb. Amy, Cleo, Missy, Bump and Harvey [Posted in FML issue 0568]
