Litter Box Digging?
I just adopted my first kitty. I'm not sure how old she is but I do
know that she is young. I was wondering if digging in the cat litter is normal? She has been digging in the litter box like she is looking for something. I've had her for only a week and she just started (or at least I just noticed) about 2 days ago. I don't think that it is a big deal, I was just wondering if this was a normal thing to be doing? Thanks for the help. |

Because they do dig to prepare a place, then cover it up. Also, where did you get her and do you have any photos? |

Want to surprise her, bury one of her smaller toys inside the litter box. :-D ....although that might encourage more digging. |

Litter Box Digging?
I never noticed if she was digging and then doing her stuff or not.
But a friend of mine found her on the side of the road almost 3 weeks ago, went to the vet and the shelter and no one was looking for her. She couldn't keep her and I was looking to adopt a cat soon anyway, and it just worked out. I do have pictures, but none off my camera to computer yet. When I do I'll let you know. Thanks a lot Edgar |

When I do I'll let you know. Thank you, Edgar. We love kitty porn. |

Thanks for the help. Different cats have varying litter habits. Some dig like crazy. Others, like my old Dmitri did, just go and walk away. Then his brother Jack would walk in, get upset that he didn't cover, and he'd spend 20 minutes repairing the damage. Jack still works on the litter for long periods of time. Digs, digs the air, digs whatever might be nearby. Once he actually pulled out a heating vent and used it to "cover" his poo. He's very tidy. Then I had one cat many years ago who apparently liked the idea of sitting on a toilet. I guess he learned by watching me, and he started urinating in the toilet. Number two, he used his box. He never did learn to flush, though. (And he never spilled a drop!) -- Email (remove annoying hyphens) j-u-l-i-AT-e-c-t-DOT-o-r-g |

Or wet, and that would be worse! ...although that might encourage more digging. I still recommend Cat Paper when I can (catpaper.com) Great product if you have a messy cat. -- Email (remove annoying hyphens) j-u-l-i-AT-e-c-t-DOT-o-r-g |
