Fastidious cat, well trained owner
Early AM, I hear the cat digging in her box.
A bit later, again. A bit later, again. Get up for work, start usual morning routine. Meep comes over, looks in the box, wanders off. Comes back, digs in box, wanders off. Comes back, looks towards box, wanders off. I finally take the hint, clean the box. Couple minutes later, she sees the box had been cleaned - FINALLY, and uses it. Which means I have to clean it again She's like that. She'll use it to poo, then come find me to clean the box, 'cause she wants to pee but doesn't want to pee in a dirty box. Get this - if we're around, she won't bury the poo, 'cause she knows I'll clean it once I smell it. However, if she does that when we're not home, she *will* bury. Smart cat? Silly kitty I knew it wasn't cystitis, I can tell the difference in her digging - and she wasn't stressed at all once I got up, just wanted the darn box clean, now, please! jmc |

My cats at home (both males) don't have any problems using a dirty box (I have two and scoop 2-4 times a day) but as soon as I do clean them, they have to use the boxes right away. At work, Stinky used to be like that when she was younger. Even if she had just gone, once I cleaned the box she'd jump back in to contribute just a little more. One time she had to contribute to both boxes by my office and it was a real effort, but she squeezed out two little drops into the second box. -- Liz |
