Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / September 2005Rain, rain and even more rain, toilet problems
It's been raining all day so the cats have stayed in and I lit the fire in the kitchen for them as it's a bit chilly too. Boyfriend now desperately needs to use the outdoor toilet. He doesn't like to use a litter box, he likes to use soil (dirt) outside in the garden for his toilet duties. He can't believe that I can't control the weather. He asks me to open the back door and when he looks out, it's raining so then he asks me to open the front door in case the weather might be different there ;-) He just went outside and ran straight back into the house. Poor Boyfie badly needs the toilet and it's RAINING HARD.. Awww. Tweed > He just went outside and ran straight back into the house. Poor Boyfie > badly needs the toilet and it's RAINING HARD.. Poor little kitty. Could you bring some dirt in and put it in a litter box? Diane >> He just went outside and ran straight back into the house. Poor Boyfie >> badly needs the toilet and it's RAINING HARD.. [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Diane I don't have a litter box as my cats (indoor/outdoor) prefer to use the garden and this normally works well. I'd better get one, fill it with dirt and put it in the conservatory for bad weather emergencies. I once had a spare plastic washing up bowl which I filled with soil (dirt) on the night before BF was going for his snip and had to be kept in. He used it for a poo overnight. I am now using it to grow watercress ;-) Tweed >> He just went outside and ran straight back into the house. Poor Boyfie >> badly needs the toilet and it's RAINING HARD.. [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Diane My thought also. Then place reluctant puss in the box. Take a paw and help make digging motions. Then press down on her lower back until she gets the idea you want her to produce. Good luck. MLB mlbriggs yammered: >Then place reluctant puss in the box I've never had a reluctant puss hon. Not that I'm bragging or anything ;) >>> He just went outside and ran straight back into the house. Poor Boyfie >>> badly needs the toilet and it's RAINING HARD.. [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >> >> Diane I don't *have* a litter box, that's the problem, we've never needed one before. The emergency is probably over. I had to go out for half an hour and I left the back door open for garden access. Boyfie is now curled up in front of the kitchen fire seeming very comfortable, so I guess he must have braved the weather in order to have a wee/poo while I was out. He is *such* a good boy. Tweed > My thought also. > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Good luck. MLB >>>> He just went outside and ran straight back into the house. Poor Boyfie >>>> badly needs the toilet and it's RAINING HARD.. [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Tweed You know this might sound silly to me, if not for the following. It doesn't rain in the summer in Northern California. So our dogs get rather out of the habit of going out in bad weather. I was early October and I had gone to North Carolina to visit my parents. Leaving Charlie to look after home and hearth. And our Toy Poodle and her eight month old twin puppies. I'm watching a football game with my Dad when I get a phone call. It's Charlie. It is pouring down rain. The dogs are freaked out. And he has no idea what to do. He didn't appreciate being told to get an umbrella out of the hall closet and to go out in the yard with them to keep them dry. (We also seldom get rain strong enough to require the use of an umbrella, and it had just never even occurred to him) _____ Another old story. After a rather long drought in Marin County California, a toddler goes to his mother all upset. It was pouring down rain outside, and he thought he wouldn't be able to go to preschool. He didn't know that it would be OK for the car to get wet. Jo >>>> He just went outside and ran straight back into the house. Poor >>>> Boyfie badly needs the toilet and it's RAINING HARD..

I "sacrificed" my dishpan to the cause.MLB >>>> He just went outside and ran straight back into the house. Poor Boyfie >>>> badly needs the toilet and it's RAINING HARD..

Maybe you can rig up a water spigot with two hoses, a little one for Boyfriend and a great big one for yourself. Charlie >>>>> He just went outside and ran straight back into the house. Poor >>>>> Boyfie badly needs the toilet and it's RAINING HARD.. [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > Charlie what a twerp you are, Charlie. And you are the one who pledged to make people "love" you.

Grow up> > MLB Charlie has never forgiven me because I slammed him in another group for chopping a toe off his rooster without even at least a local anaesthetic. This was more than a year ago. I wouldn't have seen his post had you not included it in yours as I've killfiled him. He doesn't have anything to say that I want to read so please don't quote him again. Tweed >>>>>>> He just went outside and ran straight back into the house. Poor >>>>>>> Boyfie badly needs the toilet and it's RAINING HARD.. [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] >included it in yours as I've killfiled him. He doesn't have anything to say >that I want to read so please don't quote him again. Yeah, Chrissie has a delicate constitution. She mustn't be exposed to any comments that might upset her. For the record, however, she was the one who brought the subject of this toe amputation to the attention of the cat groups, just a few months ago. She picked a quarrel with me, not the other way around. Intellectual honesty is all I ask of anyone. Charlie >>>> He just went outside and ran straight back into the house. Poor Boyfie >>>> badly needs the toilet and it's RAINING HARD.. [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >the weather in order to have a wee/poo while I was out. He is *such* a good >boy. My parents had a cat that was trained to ask to go outdoors, rather than litter-box trained. In rainy or snowy weather she would go to each outside door in turn, plus a few closet doors, as if hoping that one of them would lead outside into good weather. When her water pressure got high enough, she would go outside, do her business, and then come back in and meow for several minutes, as if complaining about the weather.  SignatureJohn F.

Poor Boyfie >> badly needs the toilet and it's RAINING HARD.. > Poor little kitty. Could you bring some dirt in and put it in a litter box? I tried that once when I ran out of cat litter, and at least one of the little so-and-sos went right next to the box as an act of protest. Cats do seem to get rather set in their ways!

[quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Nan and the felinity felines LOL! As he has no concept of what an umbrella is, I doubt I could persuade him to go out in lashing rain by holding one up outside and inviting him under it ;-) He would just take one look out of the door and decide he can hold on a bit longer..

When Kitty still had to live out when I had my d*gs she would always be meatloafing in the toolshed or under the woodheap cover if it was raining.

My cousin had a cat Cicero who always headed for the front door when she saw rain or snow out the back door. ;) Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com >Poor sweet Boyfie. My cousin had a cat Cicero who always headed for >the front door when she saw rain or snow out the back door. ;) John D. Macdonald, in his book "The House Guests", which is about his pets, tells the story of a cat who finally pulled it off. One day when they were living in Florida the cat asked to go out the front door, saw that it was raining hard, retreated and asked to have the back door opened. Amazingly, it actually wasn't raining in the back yard. The cat marched out, with a look back that said clearly, "Now aren't you ashamed to have doubted?"

I have seen this once only. The road in front of my house is 12 feet wide and it was raining on one side and not the other, half of the road was completely dry. This was before BF was born, so he couldn't possibly have known about it ;-) Tweed >He can't believe that I can't control the weather.

Heinlein, a great lover of cats (see my sig line!) called "The Doorway Into Summer" It was named that because when Mr. Heinlein was writing it, he was living in a large country house with many doors. It was winter, and every day, his cat (or one of his cats...?) demanded that he open about 8 doors, to be certain one of them didn't have nice weather there. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Life without cats would be only marginally worth living." -TC, and the unmercifully, relentlessly, sweet calico kitty, Kenzie. How you behave towards cats here below determines your status in Heaven. - Robert Heinlein Life is very difficult. Once you understand that, life becomes easier. -Buddha > >He can't believe that I can't control the weather.

Actually it's called "Door into Summer" and this thread reminded me of it too. I just read the bit about the doors on Amazon - http://snipurl.com/hq80 - now I want to read the book again. Great book for cat lovers. Fi > It's been raining all day so the cats have stayed in and I lit the fire in > the kitchen for them as it's a bit chilly too.
