Those poor kitties. I feel terrible for them. I hope this gives them a fresh start as well.

[@janetswope5695]

The client is going to have to take a vested interest in getting mental help and taking an active interest in keeping things clean or things are never going to change. You know exactly how much time you spent getting everything in such incredible shape and it takes a minimal amount of time to let things go amok again. You do an exceptional job, Gabbi!

[@sisutytto8110]

Also watch AURIKATARIINA on youtube.

[@janetswope5695]

I love watching Aurikateriina! She’s wonderful!

[@riversong6216]

Just subscribed to your YT channel. Actually, heard about you from finding MMC. He's mentioned watching you specifically in several of his videos. You both do such great things for ppl who need your help. It's so inspiring to see you working so hard to help others with no judgement. You are doing a great cleaning job on this house!!! FABULOUS!!!! I am a cat lover/owner and may be able to offer some advice for the cats "going" outside the box. Cats are very sensitive to odors so if the litter is highly fragrant, they may prefer not using the box. If they don't like the way the litter feels on their paws, they won't use the box either. It's also hard to get them to begin using a litter box if they have marked other areas in the house as their bathroom. All areas they have used will have to be cleaned, sanitized and cleaned again with a cleaner that contains enzymes to neutralize the cat odors. It will probably be necessary to "retrain" the cats by putting a litter box in each location that the cats have done their business...even if that means several boxes in one room. Of course, if the litter box isn't cleared out daily (minimum) they will not use it. They are very finicky about that. I've found that my cats prefer natural pine pellets over anything else I've used for litter-and this is way cheaper than most commercial cat litters. It has a natural outdoor smell, so they seem to prefer this. I've also invested in a litter genie, (similar to a diaper genie) and when my cat's poo in the box I scoop it out and drop it in the genie which helps keep the poo smell out of the house and litter box. My cats tend to like bigger boxes as traditional litter boxes are really small. I purchased a container for storing things underneath the bed, took the lid off and buy the jumbo liners giving the cat plenty of room to do their business. Other than just the litter box itself things going on outside the home may cause cats to avoid the litter box causing them to feel it necessary to constantly "mark" their territory, (i.e., feral community cats or other small animals getting too close to their home). A cat has to put his scent down in order to claim it so if they feel their territory is being threatened or don't feel confident in their current situation, they will go to the extreme to mark or claim their home.

[@reneewolf1738]

To save your poor neck and back, get an o-cedar spin mop exclusively to use on the ceiling and walls. The heads come off and are washable. It would also allow you to use scalding hot water and not Burn your hands. You are a trooper to go back and re clean a space you had already taken care of!

[@darlenedeacon7912]

I’m 82 can not do what I used to do but my place doesn’t look to bad I clean as I go you are doing a wonderful job 😊

[@motivatedinohio]

They have a missing smoke detector. That is unsafe, especially with smoking.

[@bethirwin7445]

Go, Gabbi! Let’s get that monetizing rolling! 💰💰💰🍾🎉 Editing to add, the cats going outside the litter box could be several things. Most likely: it’s not getting scooped/cleaned often enough so they’re not wanting to get in it. Another option - if they’re getting older or don’t like the litter, some cats will squat with their feet in, but then rest their butts on the side for support, resulting in 💩 dropping outside. Last - they might really hate the litter, especially if it’s that chemical stinking scented variety which is also sharp on tender paws. A change to one of the clumping products made from wheat (some are even flushable if the house is on sewer not septic), will solve this. Older cats find it more stable on shaky hind ends. BUT - NONE of the solutions will work if the litter pan is left as nasty as the rest of that house. Even a mechanical self-scooping pan won’t fix anything if it’s left un emptied. As a lifelong cat person kept firmly under paw, I don’t have to be Jackson Galaxy to tell you those cats are protesting the abuse they’re enduring every way they know how. Their senses are so much more sensitive than humans that it’s literal torture for the cats to be incarcerated under those conditions. I wouldn’t be surprised if the smoke + ammonia from their pee aren’t causing eye and nose inflammation at a minimum, if not bladder infections that exacerbate the peeing. Poor kitties 😿

[@letitbee7248]

Agree with everything you said. If they just have one litter pan for two kitties, adding 1 or 2 more litter pans may also help (provided they are cleaned at least daily).

[@paulajohnson5063]

I'm sure there are no litter boxes I would be surprised

[@celestewatson4874]

Exactly right! The vent cover tells you how much nicotine those cats are subjected to at floor level, not to mention ash -- secondhand smoke & ash are toxic AF. It's probably exacerbated their stress incontinence. Poor kittens.

[@melissahyatt9626]

100% agree. Cats hate dirty litter boxes. Another question I have is are they male cats and if so, are they neutered? I hate to say this, but maybe they shouldn’t own cats at this stage if they can’t take care of themselves and their living space right now.

[@fjklfdasdf]

@@melissahyatt9626 Absolutely, those poor cats!

[@lynjen36]

Fyi:Multiple cats means need of multiple litter boxes. They are very finicky about their boxes! Love your channel!

[@VaraVannerSimpleLiving]

The litterbox needs to be cleaned daily; if they are still going outside of the litterbox when it is clean they might dislike the kitty litter. Try something different like paper litter or sand and go through litterbox training with them again. To litterbox train simply bring the cat to the litterbox after every meal and also after they have had an accident outside of the box. This can take several weeks to complete training. Edit: I would recommend putting the litterbox near the fireplace since the cats already enjoy going in that area.

[@donnamaco1]

Maybe simply cleaning the litter box. If they are not cleaning their own litter box, why assume they are cleaning the cats litter box.

[@joycemarsh2743]

You are one of the best cleaners I’ve seen you are working a miracle 🙏

[@sisutytto8110]

[@barbaranorman7212]

Cats want their litter box clean. If they are not clean then you see that kind of behavoir. You did a fantastic job cleaning that place.

[@allisonkirkwood1449]

Great transformation, you are doing a great job! The pooping outside the box is a stress related issue. Once they have a clean space they might need some help redirecting them to litter tray. Calming drops may help or a stress plug in for cats 😊

[@Leoandkayi]

Poor cat is stressed out they need a clean space

[@njmileur5003]

They couldn’t pay me to clean that up, who are these people? It looks like a nice home. You are a wonder, and a really hard worker.

[@hembel9072]

Happened to come across your channel, episode 3. Went back to watch first two and I'm now on this video. Awesome job! Thank you for helping them, coming from someone who's depressed and don't do a whole lot of cleaning myself. Used to keep a very clean house. Depression is very debilitating. I also have cats and big thing is don't clean with ammonia because pee is ammonia. Vinegar neutralizes pee, breaks up the enzymes in the urine. As for the blinds take them down put them in a bathtub full of dawn Dish soap with very hot water and that will make cleaning the blinds a lot easier. Keep up the good work!

[@lindacork6926]

OH! I'm going to try that with my blinds!

[@sisutytto8110]

Also watch ; AURIKATARIINA , her videos from Finland is awsome.

[@lindastrickland5771]

Looks like the blinds were pretty much destroyed to me! Poor kitties trying their best to get outside away from this toxic smoke & nicotine & filth. Cats are naturally clean animals unless they have the means to do that taken away, ie, the litter boxes probably aren’t kept clean since the humans living area isn’t kept clean. Also, I just noticed that there was no filter on the air return when it was removed to be cleaned, so, nothing there to take out any of the nasty that is in the air!!!

[@hembel9072]

Most cats destroy the blinds cause they want to sit in the window and look out. Not necessarily that they want to get outside/away.

[@fjklfdasdf]

and i guess they dont ever open up to air it all out, yuck!

[@caterandolph3440]

I don't know what type of flooring is in that living room, but you could do a commercial for them. What a transformation!! I cannot believe that it held up to that much abuse and looked brand new after you were done with it!!

[@muddymomma369]

I wonder if the cat gets locked out of the bedroom and it is just going where it can from not being able to get to the litter box? They might try putting a second litter box in the laundry room.

[@janetmitchell7865]

[@linxj6]

Gabi, you are a common sense cleaner. I appreciate you, and dang, you work hard in your jobs!

[@AshNEricplus4more]

I noticed the a litter box on carpet. I have always put mine in my bathroom on tile or hard surface throughout my home. Since there are 2 cats in the home there should be 3 litter boxes that need to be scooped daily. They should be cleaned and changed weekly. I don't use harsh chemicals in mine just dawn and hot water. They don't smell since I keep them up. The box could be to tall or to small for the cats. I figured if my cat could step in and had room to stand and turn around it was big enough. That rule of thumb has been perfect for my cats.

[@jonijegla8074]

What a transformation!! Great job.

[@RadCenter]

If I could make a suggestion, it would be to purchase small wastebaskets and liners for strategic spots in the apartment: next to the desk, bed, bathroom sink, etc. The tenants seem to just throw their trash anywhere because they have no designated spot for it. Likewise, get some disposable aluminum mini pie pans and place them at the spots where they smoke the most. These could be thrown away when they get full or emptied into a metal can kept in the pantry for that purpose. It makes me nervous to see paper plates being used as ashtrays. It's a fire hazard.

[@getitdonewithgabbi]

i feel the exact same! they have told me they will start smoking outside now so hopefully that sticks, the trash can idea is great! i will try to find some to place around their room!

For the cats you may want to try maybe some pee pee pads just outside the box. that way it can be easy cleanup if the keep doing it. I have a cat that doesn't like his feet touching the litter so at times he misses the box.

[@brendarobertson7206]

You and your little family are so beautiful! You are an incentive to everyone watching I am sure. Side note: cat boxes need to be cleaned daily or cats wont go in them because they are stepping in it (poop and pee clumps). The question to ask is how often would you flush the toiled after pooping in it???? That's how often to scoop litter. I got 2 cats, I know, not fun but they are worth it. Great Job so far!

[@erinkimmel9479]

I'm actually surprised how little cat fur is flying around. We have 2 cats, I clean every day and still see tumbleweeds all the time!

[@cathtf7957]

Great content. Love it!

[@missMediaChick]

I feel bad for the cats in situations like this. Cats are very clean animals. If they aren't using their litter box it's because it's not being cleaned, or the cat is experiencing a medical or psychological stressor.

[@chasitymayle6957]

This is hard work I know I actually have done this for a n law before and it was so satisfying when I finished the place I not only cleaned but I organized doing things like this for a friend or a relative or anyone is so satisfying and makes the heart happy when your all done....your amazing person for what your doing.

[@erainasmith2532]

I saw one of your videos and that room was a total disaster. What a transformation. If you don’t mind me asking what solution are u using to resolve the dirt off the walls? Is simply just rolls off as soon as you spray it. I purchased one of those sprayers from Home Depot. I use it as an insect spryer. It’s simply beautiful!

[@TheErren]

Like a lot of people are saying yah, this place isnt going get to get better and stay better unless the occupant gets some sort of help or has some sort of life style change because otherwise this is a waste. I get that shes just doing her job here though and theres going to be those type of clients and wanting to help people can lead to helping people who won’t put that hard work to real use and keep up on it… I just really really hope the person who needs help gets it or ends up with whatever support or change in their life that gives them some improvement. As much as depression sucks the life out of you it seems like them getting the house cleaned shows they probably want a cleaner home so hopefully they will be able to keep up on it at some point. Best of luck.

Also I would like to pass on a cleaning tip that most people aren’t aware of. Say You have furniture and or a refrigerator that has stickers all over them and You want to get them off. Use Mayonnaise by rubbing it all over the stickers and rub it on thick and let it sit for a day or 2. Second way of doing the same thing is by using either vegetable oil and or Olive oil and making sure to rub it in good so the paper in the sticker absorbs the oil. Then either the next day or in 2 days go in with a scraper and it will come off gently. Now tip 3 : when You remove the stickers and there’s residual glue that still on the wood or refrigerator just grab isopropyl alcohol and a q tip and dip the q tip into the alcohol and then gently rub the Alcohol all over the area and constantly wipe the area until it’s all gone. Also to sanitize things use the following items. 1. Peroxide 2. 100% Lemon Juice and or 100% Lemon Grass Concentrate. 3. A McCulloch Hot Steamer.

Have the owners get a litter box that has a lid and swinging door. That will cut down on the mess and make it more enjoyable for the cat. I also highly recommend using wood animal bedding pellets as cat litter. Helps with the smell!!

[@littleblackpistol]

None of that will make any difference if the owner does not get up off his useless, lazy behind and clean the litter tray properly, which means multiple times a day. Cats will not go in a filthy litter pan. They will go OUTSIDE it as long as it remains filthy. The owner needs to realize he is the equivalent of a seriously neglectful, abusive parent who makes their kid live in filth, deprives them of proper hygiene opportunities and makes them live with their own waste strewn about, promoting infection and ammonia fumes. The cats will be in a state of high stress dealing with that disgusting environment.
