LOL! I understand some cats wait for the box to be cleaned so they can
immediately get in and use it.

Buffy won't use the litterbox (which is in the room with the tub &
toilet; the vanity/sink area is separate) if I'm still in the room. She
will, however, use it as soon as I've finished scooping and have walked
out towards the sink area. I guess she's a bit shy.

Come to think of it, there was one time Minnie when as soon as I finished and
put the scoop away she immediately hopped in and started manufacturing a new
"rock" of clumped-together filler for me to scoop out. But there have been a few
more times she stayed behind to use it right away after I finished and went
downstairs to dispose of the material I scooped out in the trash tote outside,
so I suspect that one time it was probably more a matter of urgency than of not
being bashful.
