And they have to watch us no matter what     who figure ;-)

Smudge sometimes pees with me. She sees me sitting down on the porcelain
facility, and comes running in to get into the litterbox. Then we pee
together. Awwww. :)

Nikki never wanted me to see Her Holiness on the box. Frank used to go
when I went. Caliban and Miranda don't really mind whether I see them or
not, but they annoy each other. Say M goes to the box and starts to
scratch around. C immediately follows and hunkers down in preparation of
a pounce. Bum goes wiggle-wiggle-wiggle. M scratches around, then looks
up and sees C posed for a pounce. With a huff she leaves the box and
stalks off. A few moments later, repeat, only with C in the box and M
attacking. But we haven't had any accidents, so they must eventually be
able to use the box without the other pouncing on them.

It's very, very seldom for me to see Little Bit in the Box. She very
quick to let me know if I've deglected by scooping duties, though. She
walk back and forth between the two boxes, stopping to glare at me
until she sees me look up, then proceed to the other box. Once she's
"guilted: me into getting up and cleaning the boxes, she wait until I
clean the first one, then use it while I go clean the other one in the
other room.

That Spotty. She doesn't care one way or the other if someone is in
the room.

Now Sammy is an exibitionist.  She seems to wait until she sees you
headed in the direction of one of the boxes, then rushes in. She
soemtimes does that even when she doesn't need to use the box. When I
change out the litter she doesn't wait for me to spread it out, she
hops right in and starts digging - and usually follows me to the
second box without "doing" anything int he first except throw litter
around. She's usually the first to use the second box that I change,
since Little Bit sneaks in and uses the first one as I change out the
second.

Sarrasine makes a point of going to the litter box when I'm in the
bathroom even if she doesn't really need to go she'll go into the box
and sit there and watch me doing my business. It's her way of pointing
out that she is a good cat and therefore in need of brushies,ham,
munchies, pouchies and feather onna stick!

Redunzel doesn't seem keen on an audience. She won't go into the box if
someone is in the bathroom but if they come in while she's in the box
it doesn't worry her.

I don;t think I ever saw Fugazi (RB) use her box. Occasionally I would
catch her burying the evidence but mostly the only way we knew she was
going at all was that she and her sister Isis had seperate boxes and
kept them that way. Isis seemed to take an inordinate amount of pride
in performing her business in front of an audience.

Speedy Joe preferred outside..okay forgive me, I did once have an
indoor/outdoor cat. He went missing and that;s why I now have indoor
cats

I suspect I am soon going to find out!   After Kitty peed on my clothes in
the bathroom last week she has started to poo in there as well.  Yes, it is
definitely her as she's the one that ate a dove yesterday and I found a
whiteish poo (from the bones) on the pedestal mat this morning.

She has discovered the spare bedroom recently and likes to sleep on the
duvet overnight.  However it is *upstairs* and it seems once she is upstairs
she cannot be bothered to go downstairs and outside to toilet herself.
She has always been perfectly clean in the house until this last year or so.
She started to leave me a present in the lounge occasionally and it's
escalated.
SO!  I decided she might be going a bit senile at her very advanced age so I
finally bit the bullet and bought a litter box, a scoop and some clumping
litter which I have installed in the bathroom for madam's convenience.  She
hasn't seen it yet as she hasn't gone upstairs.

I always said I didn't want a litterbox in the house as my cats can get
outside 24/7 and there is a lot of room outside for cat toileting.  I have
quarter of an acre myself and there must surely be a place that will suit!

Anyway, perhaps she is going a little bit senile at 20 and has forgotten her
housetraining.  Hence the litterbox at the side of the toilet in the
bathroom.  I'll let you know if she uses it.
Question:  Assuming she uses it and the litter clumps as promised, can you
flush it down the toilet?  Or might it block it?  If so I will just put it
in a bag and dispose of it via the garbage.
