Success... I think!

So last week when Betty pooped in the living room twice, I got a net new small litterbox and put it on the spot.  She ignored it.

Then I ordered a cover for it - not for her but for me because I could not stand looking at an even unused litter box.  Figuring the new kitty might use it, I moved the box and the cover over to the little nook space between the window and the fireplace.

This morning, I saw her using it!  So I just went to scoop it out and discovered that she'd used it before ... for poop!!!  So now she's pooping in both litter boxes and not on the carpet.  This is soooo good!

I got a scoop and some ziplocks (I scoop into 2 qt. ziplock bags - they are nice and thick and lock the smell up nicely) and put them next to the box under the cover.

I'd be sooo happy if our Pooping Outside the Box Era was at an end.



Meanwhile the Mariners have this pitcher - the one that lost the opening day game - who is pitching today's game - so far Oakland 5-Mariners 1.  I sure hope they find him a nice job in some far away farm team.

You never know what will appeal to a cat.

What a great litter box cover! Did you order it online?

It's actually pretty clever. It's painted cardboard (corrugated) but it's really nicely done. Lifts up via the two holes in the roof and there's enough room to hide a small litter box and a little box that holds my scoop and my zip lock bag.

YES I got it online and there are different looks, too!

I have this problem with dog noses sniffing around in the kitty litter. Also , an aesthetic problem of not being pleasing. i like this. Two little houses, side by side.

the red sox will no doubt offer that pitcher a fat contact then wonder why it doesn't work out for them.
