Bed litter

[susandennis]

I need to put one of my cams on the litter box and see just exactly how Biggie does his Amazing Litter Stunts. His actual box has high sides. It sits inside a cupboard that is 4 feet by 3 feet and 3 feet high. It is huge. He splatters litter over all of it. There is litter stuck to the lid. This boy is ready for the litter box Olympics.

Last night, when I rolled over, I felt a pebble and I knew it was litter. Thanks, Biggie. But, this morning when I turned on the light and threw back the covers I saw that the bed was literally littered with litter. (See what I did there???) It's like he took a cup and filled it up and sprinkled it on the bed. How the hell did he do that?

I was busy sleeping really well. But, I did wake up in time to go swimming. Sigh. So I got up and treadmilled. I tried to go 30 minutes but only made it to 25. But, I'm ok with that. It was a good 25.

Today is my baby brother's birthday. I have vivid memories of visiting my Mom in the hospital when he was born. We couldn't go in but Daddy took my sister and me to the grounds and Mommy looked down from the window in her room and waved at us. Looking back on it now, it seems a kind of out of character thing for both of them but oh so momentous for me. We wore our Sunday School clothes on a week day for one thing. And Mommy was way high up in this brick building. I was 4. And it was hot. Kansas City hot. And, we got ice cream after.

And then, the magic ended. A couple of days later, she came home and brought this squirmy little thing with her. They put him on the floor in the living room on a sateen blanket. The blanket was yellow and brown and he had on a yellow shirt with brown shorts that had shoulder straps. All the neighbors came in and made a huge fuss over him.

Therein lay the problem. No longer were my sister and I the golden haired princesses of the kingdom. In one minute, we were turned into fetchit kids. Bring me the xxx from the kitchen, please. Go upstairs and get yyy, please. SHHHHHHHHHH you'll wake him up!!

Oh yeah. I remember. Happy Birthday, bill_schubert!

I did a genius thing the other day. I had a bunch of baking potatoes that were aging out of reality. Their eyes were getting big. So I scrubbed up a couple and baked 'em. I hate half that day with lunch and put the other half and a whole in the fridge. Yesterday I chopped up the rest and fried 'em with some onions and mushrooms and had that with lunch but there was leftovers so I put those back in the fridge and this morning had them with my scrambled eggs. I love leftovers. But even better I love leftovers made out of stuff too gone to save another minute. I have more potatoes left and I'm going to bake them up today and try freezing the results. I love potatoes but this is a whole new level.

I think today is Costco day. It's still very cool out and I've got time to shower and dress and still get there before Old People Hour.

Biggie's not necessarily afraid of the Eufy, but he keeps a close eye on it.

When I lived with 2 cats, the litter box was in the laundry room. I could understand why that room had litter all over the floor, but was always amazed at how I'd find litter all the way in the kitchen, and could hear it while vacuuming in the living room. Crikey, how did that stuff stick to their paws long enough to get to the other side of the house??

they must have some kind of secret litter carrying mechanisms in the legs. but, i've had cats for years and never had one who is this wild with the litter. thank goodness for the robovac!

Gross. There has to be some different kind of litter that is less likely to get tracked around the house.

lol. As an older sister, I was quite amused by your too-accurate description of the arrival of younger siblings. Also when my nephew came home from the hospital, at one point she asked if we could bring him back. And so another generation goes forth.

Our cat used to track litter EVERYWHERE. Zen got him one of those pads for just outside the litterbox that's supposed to catch it but it never worked. I hated being barefoot in the kitchen because I was constantly stepping on litter.

At least you got over feeling like that about your brother whereas I never did ;0)

Our cat is a huge litter tracker/kicker too. We tried mats, hoods, all types of non-clay litter and nothing improved things. Plus even the "no dust" litter left
his white fur discolored, and we'd find litter dust paw prints on the table.

We just recently switched to the Breeze litter system, it's been about 2 months now. And I'm never going back.LOL. It's a bit pricey but SOOO worth it for us. It doesn't track or get kicked out, at all. Is truly dust free and scooping the poop into our litter genie is easy too. We got the XL version from Chewy, because he's a big kitty, and I wanted the side walls. Petco carries the replacement litter, so does Amazon. It's been so nice not having to clean up scattered litter after work every day.

Kitty!

Ugh, I guess I should be thankful Door doesn't drag that much litter into the bed! Sometimes we find some stray pieces.

As a younger sibling, I now wonder if my then-not-quite-four-year-old brother felt the same way when I came home for the first time.
