Boyfie has his own toilet paper!
Well, I got fed up with using my nice stuff to pick up the bath poo, so I
bought some really cheap stuff just for him. I've only had to use the cheap stuff once as he hasn't pooed in the bath for 4 days (!) When I was overfeeding him for weight gain, lasting out overnight was unlikely, but now he's back to normal weight and normal feeding he doesn't do it. But he does kind of threaten that he might, by meowing at my bedroom door at 6.45 a.m. I ignore him, so then he gallops up and down the stairs, saying "if you don't get up NOW, I will poo in the bath." So I get up. He runs down the stairs to his food bowl "any chance of breakfast?" So I got wise to this. But I never know if he means "get up now or there will be an accident in that bath, or get up because I want breakfast." Could be either. Sometimes I take a risk. And buy cheap toilet paper for when I get it wrong. Tweed |

And buy cheap toilet paper for when I get it wrong. Tweed It got used this morning. I think he is unable to hold out sometimes overnight now that he is getting older. Even when he is out until 11.30 pm. The only thing that irritates me is that there is a litter box fired up with his preferred earth and leaves two steps away from the bath. So why won't he use it? When Kitty Farmcat got very elderly and confused and forgot she could go out even when the door was open, she took to a litter box immediately. With normal cat litter in. Even at the vets, Boyfie would not use a box with cat litter in to wee or poo. They had to get earth and leaves for him to wee in. He continued to poo in his bed right beside his box when he was there. He is determined that he will "never, in his whole life, poo in a litter box" Why, I have no idea. It's just so. I never tell him off about pooing in the bath. It's easy to clean up. Plus I never tell him off about anything actually, because he is so timid. He sometimes takes advantage of that about getting up on the worktops to steal food. I tell him "what would have happened to you if you hadn't come here?" I know what would have happened. He'd have been dead. He had no idea how to look after himself and he was lost. KFC took pity on him and brought him here, which was more than unusual. She taught him to hunt mice and rats (just in case you have to..) |

He simply will not use one, not ever, not even if he had to sit in his own poo (which he did when he was hospital, with a litter box right beside him) He has a litter box in the bathroom filled with earth and leaves (cat litter is a no-no for him). He walks past it to poo in the bath. He will actually wee on earth and leaves if he is desperate, but only if the box is downstairs near the back door. Poor vet nurse had to dig up their garden every day.. He will *not* under any circumstances poo in a litterbox. I have no idea why. I don't know where he came from as he strayed here as a teenager, but he wasn't a hard-core feral as he had a nice collar on. I can only guess that his previous owners didn't train him to use a litterbox. Maybe they adopted him as a feral kitten which might explain how timid he is. I simply don't know, and he can't tell me. It's not the end of the world, this pooing in the bath, it's easily cleaned up with his own cheap tp, and put down the toilet. Then rinse the bath and use a cloth to clean it, takes 2 minutes. I'm fairly used to doing animal poo. Horses, goats, dogs, chickens. So it will never be a problem. Tweed |

Sylvia I try my best. I'm beginning to look at his dry food that he's been hit with for weight gain. I chose one with liver in because most cat/dogs like it, but then I remembered that liver can make dogs bowels loose. Maybe cats too? When he poos in the bath, it's not a firm poo, it's loose. I never tell him off about it as it's overnight and he cannot get out. He isn't allowed out after midnight because of foxes that visit my garden every night in the small hours to check I've shut my chickens up. And most foxes don't eat cats, but some do and I dont know if he can shoot up a tree in 2 seconds any more. So I like him to be in bed by midnight. Sometimes I have to wait up until 1 a.m. He comes in eventually and says "didn't see a fox at all, no worries" !! |

I don't want to stop him going out but if he asks to go out at 11pm I let him (so as not have the bath poo) but that doesn't alway work. He isn't allowed to risk overnight foxes now. When he was younger, yes. He was perfectly capable of sending off a fox then. But now, I'm not so sure, so I like him in overnight, up on his duvet having sweet dreams about catching mousies and maybe the big rat he never got. |

Occasionally he regrets it and he has to spend the night in the conservatory which is not as nice as his bedroom with his duvet. I leave it up to him to decide. He knows very well what the time is all day. He's good about knowing the time to within 5 or 10 minutes. so bad luck that boy if you miss midnight bedtime. He usually doesn't. Cut off point is 1`a.m, after that, I'm in bed and he isn't. He knows it, and is usually upstairs by `11.30 and into his pyramid bed for the night. |
