There are citrus based sprays that can help (not for ours, though). But as long as it's removable/replaceable should it become an issue that's the main thing. Also just making sure she has access to her normal method of going to the toilet will help (again, it didn't help ours - outdoor cat who for years has never used a litter tray, had no problem actually being outside here, but still insisted on condemning the shower even further. And then the front door mat, and then the temporary carpet we put down).
If it does become an issue, the only thing we found to remove the smell was Hydrogen Peroxide. Worked wonders. You only need the 3% solution and easily available in spray bottles. Thinking about it, the smell of that may have actually been what ultimately put her off.

That’s good to know, thank you! Tempted just to preempt it with a wee spray first. Although, she’s a weirdo and quite likes the smell of lemon.. I’ll think of something!
We’ve been cracking on the last few days, finished the kitchen cabinets (the rest are drawer fronts that match the tall cabinet that we got with the kitchen), started painting door surrounds and skirtings as they’re being put down, oiled the internal doors, tiled behind the stove under the heatshields and we’ve started on cladding the framing behind the kitchen island. I picked out the lengths with the most interesting grain for that. It’s a shame as we’ll be mounting some scaffolding board shelves to it which might hide some but reckon it’ll finish that off nicely.
The joiner spent today working on the thresholds at the large windows and rounded off these nice bits of oak. Just seeing things a bit tidier around the edges is making it feel so much closer!
Popped back to the quarry yesterday and got the building stone organised. They’re going to dump it off the pallets and just deliver it loose meaning they’ll be able to fit it all in the one truck. They’re going to run it over the weigh bridge and if there’s space left they’ll throw a ton bag or two of building sand in with it which I’ll need for the lime mortar. Hoping we’ll fit that and it should save me a pretty penny in getting it all across! Then I’ll be able to grab the bags of lime myself and just bring them in the car. Should be coming on Friday, looking forward to seeing it all here.

It can be such a rollercoaster can’t it, very exciting parts but very low lows.. no other option but to keep going I guess.. mum and dad are up again which is always really productive but just reassuring too. Mum was filling and sanding all the mail holes in the door surrounds and dad and I started on making the kitchen cabinet doors. Just 3 more to go tomorrow and we can start on cladding the frame behind the kitchen island. They’ve all to get perfectly squared off and things, but that will come when we’re getting the sanding and oiling done.
@Howard @stevo_com That’s a great heads up, thank you very much for that! She’s a sneaky thing and has ruined a couple plants using them so I wouldn’t put it past her. I swear some of our tomatoes our first year here had an ammonia aftertaste..
