NWFlyer 2 #1 November 24, 2007 My kittens have a covered litterbox. I've been using it without the door on it, and recently decided to put the door back on. Not a huge deal, I thought, but apparently disruptive enough to my cat's bathroom habits that he decided that he would poop in the only other place he could find filled with small pellets ... his own food bowl. Needless to say I removed the door again. I tell ya, these new roommates of mine are a little on the weird side. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

marks 0 #2 November 24, 2007 cats are smart. they are trying to tell you something.. the food you feed them taste like shit!.. they want some canned stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #3 November 25, 2007 Since he's been happily chowing down on that stuff for a month, I think the statement he's trying to make is more about the renovation of the bathroom than about the food. But we'll see... He even got some leftover turkey today so he's got nothing to complain about. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

Nightingale 0 #7 November 25, 2007 Did you show them how to go through the door once you put it back on? My cat just can't figure out a cat door. I have to prop open the cat-flap on my balcony door when I want to let him out, because he can't figure out how to push the door open with his head.

I've had to do that with a few cats to show them they can open it, also putting fave food on the other side of the4 door to entice them works (after have shovedthem gently thourgh a few times)You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!

I'm travelling for work and they couldn't find me a hotel so they stuck me in a staff house. I got up this morning and went to the bathroom only to find a half-nakid guy passed out on the floor. I guess I woke him up, as when I went to the other bathroom I heard him move (I thought he was moving to his bedroom). I went to the kitchen after that to make coffee and found him fully-naked and passed out at the table. I got nuthin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pinkfairy 0 #11 November 25, 2007 I'm guessing that the male, or "used to be male" is the black and white one. The calico one is a female. If it's a male it would be a chimerahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimera_%28genetics%29 Nice kitties Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet.

Daisy was actually inside the box when I put it back on, and it sort of confused her to try to come out - she tried to go around the side. I probably needed to demonstrate, but I thought that he'd used it successfully before the "shit where you eat" episode. Guess not. I just took the door back off. Problem solved. It's not really that important that it be on ... as long as they're fine with a covered box it's good so they're not spraying kitty litter all over the bathroom floor with their forceful digging."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

NWFlyer 2 #13 November 25, 2007 Yep, Franklin is the black and white kitty, no chimeras here. When I was young we had a yard cat sneak into our house to give birth. Her litter of four included a male and female with calico coloring. I guess I didn't realize back then how unique he was."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.
