Cleaning out the litter box
I think I have got control over what my two Devon Rex cats, Teti and
Tinùviel, eat and drink. They are indoor cats, and by that they don't go stealing food anywhere else. So, after having taken care of them for about four years now, I am convinced, and somewhat confused: They eat and drink less than they let out in the litter box! How is that possible?? Of course, I don't use a weight to find out, it's just my eye measurement, but anyway it seems to be that way. They are too stupid to open the refrigerator or the cupboards, and I don't miss any of my clothing, papers, books, tobacco or anything else, so how come? Creative answers will be appreciated! -- Hans Schrøder |

I think it is the same principle that governs what happens when you try to repack an electronic gadget for return to the store. Somehow it doesn't fit back inside the box it came out of. -- The night is just the shadow of the Earth. |

Cleo has changed to maintenance food, so that explains her shortage, but we're not sure about Smokey. Cali has always done delicate little Rabbit poops. As for the size of your deposits, I think one of the other kitties has been teleporting K-Rations. I suspect Boyfie from the Kitchen with a Mouzie. |

I'm no expert but I seem to recall being told that bacteria make up a large proportion by weight of what we (therefore presumably all animals) excrete. If that is so it might explain the surplus.

Since you are obviously starving poor Teti and Tinùviel, the mother ship has been beaming down MRE rations (Mice, Ready to Eat) (Note: MRE's are the standard food of the USA armed services, in combat zones; it stands for Meals, Ready to Eat). ~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Life without cats would be only marginally worth living." -TC, and the unmercifully, relentlessly, sweet calico kitty, Kenzie.

Maybe not one of his mousies as I cannot get cross with him for that, it does save them coming into the house but I wouldn't put it past him to teleport some of his birdies over so I don't find out he got them! Tweed Wot me? Catch der birdies? Perish der thort. I no I must not catch dem, meowmie sez not. It were not a birdie I was eting on der doormat yesday, it were a big rat wiv littel fevvers, okay?
