Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / September 2004Litter box offerings - good news
Well, I just scooped the litter boxes and it appears that everyone is back to normal - all stools are solid and all pee clumps are the correct size and number for each cat. Thanks for the purrs, they worked again!! It either was just a stress-caused, temporary problem, or (after reading about this in another post here) it could even have been an anal gland expression. Speaking of litter box offerings, it's funny but I can tell which cat left which offering. Bandit, 14, tends to "hold it" all day while she sleeps on my pillow then leaves a *huge* pee clump - usually just 1 or 2 a day. Demi, 6 sleeps almost as much but is a bit more active so the next smallest clumps are hers - usually 2 or 3 a day. Jessie, 5, is *much* more active than Bandit and Jessie and tends leave even smaller clumps - usually 3 or 4 a day. Sammy, 5 1/2 months, is still a kitten, albeit a *large* kitten at 8 pounds, leave the smallest clumps - usually 4 or 5 a day. Their other offering are just as identifiable, but I won't get into that here to save you the grossness!! ;> Hugs, CatNipped >Speaking of litter box offerings, it's funny but I can tell which cat left >which offering. That'a an amazing talent. Even with one cat, I only have a vague idea of how many offerings are made a day, plus, I've never actually watched one of those offerings in the process of being made. You must follow your cats around and scoop every hour. :) >>Speaking of litter box offerings, it's funny but I can tell which cat left >>which offering.

I have 4 litterboxes and each cat seems to have a preference for one. I only scoop once a day unless some especially scent-ful offering was made. Hugs, CatNipped > LOL, well, not quite.

Both cats use both, but they prefer one for 'number ones' and the other for 'number twos'. :o)  SignatureMarina, Frank and Nikki marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankiennikki/ and http://community.webshots.com/user/frankiennikki >> LOL, well, not quite.

Maybe it's a "mother" thing. >>> Speaking of litter box offerings, it's funny but I can tell which cat >>> left [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >> > I can tell too. Maybe it's a "mother" thing. This makes me so glad that it's possible for my two to go out and do number 1 & 2 outside! The only time I had to confine them overnight was when Boyfriend was booked in for his snip the next day, in case he got wind of it, and was out in the great beyond when I got up.. I didn't have a litter tray, so I used an old washing up bowl, which was round - not ideal - and filled it with garden earth. BF kept asking to go out, but I wouldn't let him. He became quite desperate and miaowed his head off, I pretended not to understand. In the end, as the bowl was small, he perched his bottom on the soil, his front feet outside and did a huge poo. Then he apologised. I love this cat.

I'm glad everything is back to normal, and I hope "Jeanne" stays well away from your MIL.
