Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / August 2006Talk about B*st*rd Cat tricks!!!
Last night I caught Abelard getting ready to use a stray plastic bag as a sandbox (he was actually digging at it!) and moved him to the litterbox, which of course he climbed right back out of. We stayed in the bathroom together for quite a while doing this dance. Finally I just left him locked in there with two freshly cleaned boxes (I manage five oversized boxes for them, two of which are in the bathroom) and didn't let him out until there was a fresh clump in one of them. My payback for locking him in there came in the morning when I went to put on my shoes, and one of them was full of cat pee.... First time ANY cat has EVER used any of the footwear.... > My payback for locking him in there came in the morning when I went to > put on my shoes, and one of them was full of cat pee....

Chak  SignatureGuilt is the tragic delusion of culpability without the comic relief of sin. --Brooke McEldowney, 9 Chickweed Lane > Is he maybe trying to tell you it's time to go see TED? Could be, but I doubt it. He's been an out-of-box pisser off and on his whole life (now in his 5th year). I think he disdains having to use a "public" toilet, after all, he's a purebred Aby in a houseful of moggies. TED says as long as he's not straining, or squatting for a long time to produce only a small offering, or showing blood in the urine, it's probably a behavioral issue. And that's been the pattern. Large puddles, effortlessly produced, with no bloody show. He *will* use a 100% fresh litterbox, but as you know with clumping litter it's not that often the whole box is emptied, washed and refilled with all new material. > My payback for locking him in there came in the morning when I went to put > on my shoes, and one of them was full of cat pee....

Actually, Fat Freddy's Cat was the first thing that came to mind when I felt that warm urine on the bottom of my foot! |
