Weird cat behaviour
As I mentioned elsewhere, we have builders in at the moment so every morning
the Fabulous Furballs are locked in the bedroom with food, water and litter. They don't seem to mind too much, this morning they even went in there and waited for me to bring their breakfast in for them! (Then again I was not having a good time this morning so perhaps reading the signs they thought it safer to behave themselves! Yesterday the little so and so's tag teamed so as fast as I got one in the other one jumped out!) This is far from cruel, on a normal day after I've fed and skritchied them, they go back into the bedroom anyway as it's their favourite sleeping room and it is not unknown to not see them all day apart from occasionally wandering past to check the food bowl I think they're having one small problem through, last night, when Dave let them out, Sarsi flashed him a look of extreme gratitude and bolted into the bathroom where with a very relieved expression she peed....several gallons all over our nice new floor as her litter box was in the bedroom at the time! It's almost like she knows where she is supposed to pee and won't pee anywhere else even if the litter box is handy. Still as I said to Dave when he stopped cursing, do we really want her thinking she can pee in the bedroom?

"Lesley via CatKB.com" u27720@uwe wrote It's almost like she knows where she is supposed to pee and won't pee anywhere else even if the litter box is handy. Sarsi needs to learn from my ragdoll Snowball. Only a week after he arrived I'd moved the litterbox from the bathroom into the scullery for emptying & refilling. I saw him entering the bathroom after I left & a few seconds later her arrived in the scullery, brushed past me and hopped into the box to do the necessary. Ragdolls aren't renowned for their nous, but this is the guy who, when a string or whatever is passed through a door jamb for him to play with, knows to rush round the door to grab it at the "hand end". And knows that the way to stop string wriggling irritatingly in front of him is to jump up and kill the operating hand/arm. Purrs that the turmoil is over soon.

Maybe she was just "marking" the new floor!
