Only a *slight* mistake
Dear sweet Abelard really is trying his best to use the litterboxes, but I
unwittingly gave him too great of a challenge. I have a box of Walmart's "Special Kitty" brand scoopable litter and used most of it to fill a couple of boxes, and there was a few inches of litter still in the box, which I left sitting on the floor between the litterboxes. Inside the cardboard box containing the litter is a plastic bag, which I also did not close. And this morning when I picked up the Special Kitty box to add some to one of the litterboxes (amazing how much they use now that they can't go outside), I found a yellow puddle on top of the plastic bag. There's no question as to who left the puddle. Bless his little heart! |

Heh. At least yours is trying his best-- I have one we call the "Pee Queen". She loves litter-- to play with-- but not for its real purpose, which she either does outside (Good kittie!) or well, other inconvenient places (Bad kittie!) I've found some success sprinkling places I don't want her to use with ground black pepper! Interesting. I've never heard of using black pepper to discourage peeing. I'm lucky that Oscar is extremely conscientious about using her litter box, so it hasn't been an issue for us. -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |
