Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / June 2005Litterbox fun!
Hi folks! Anyone else have cats that seem to get really happy and playful when they use the litterbox? Lynxie has always been playful in the litterbox; he jumps in with a "pounce" motion as if he's playing, digs and makes "mrrrp!" trill noises, looking at me, then does his business, covers it up, so on... It's just odd that he just does it so enthusiastically! I wish going to the bathroom could make me that happy! Anyway, just wanted to say hi, as I haven't posted in a while! Hope everyone's doing well; I wish I could be a regular participant here, but real life keeps me busy! -Zorin the Lynx, and "His Royal Greyness", Lynxie  SignatureNed Flat: "Why are you acting like this??"

Quinn will be on the deck and suddenly, perhaps mock fright at my appearance, dash down and out into he woods and up a tree. I mean, he loves to do that anyway, even taking a walk with us. Then he'll jump down find a good spot and scratch around, squat, cover up, and dash off madly again. I figure part of it is to try to entice another cat into playng but none of them dare, heh.

Stinky often comes shooting out of the litterbox and down the stairs like a bat out of hell. He seems to feel lighter. ;) Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com >>Hi folks! >> [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My > Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com I have a theory about this race after using the litter box. I think it is a safety measure left over from the wild to get away from their scat quickly so predators won't find them. Maybe I'm wrong, but then, again, maybe not.

I always thought it was because he was afraid the turds were going to try and crawl back in :D But your reasoning seems much more plausable. But that doesn't explain why Ping has to *announce* his "acceivements" in the litterbox. I guess it's a warning to get the gas masks!

Aww, where are the pics? I've come to expect a lot of pics whenever you post, Zorin. Though maybe this wasn't the best of subjects for pictures... ;o) As for litterbox action, Miranda spends ages preparing for the deed. She digs and digs and flings litter all around. She seems to have fun. Frank doesn't fool around in the litterbox, but then he's a venerable old cat of 17, and can't be expected to. He does get the after-relief zoomies, though.

My sister's cat Linus, who taught himself to use the hoomin toilet, perches on the side of the litterbox whenever he uses that, just the same way as he perches on the rim of the toilet bowl.

Yes, hust like that! We had a cat once who also taught himself to use the toilet and it was just like that. >> Hi folks! >> [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] >venerable old cat of 17, and can't be expected to. He does get the >after-relief zoomies, though. Isn't that a scream? Stinky does that too. He aims himself at the top of the stairs, and just launches himself down like a rocket. It looks like his paws never touch the floor. Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com >Aww, where are the pics?

She digs and digs and flings litter all around. Having Fenchurch as a permanent indoor resident (until her stitches are out, at least) has meant that consumption of litter her has gone up considerably - not least because she digs like she means business. I'm surprised she's not appeared at Yowie's. SignatureCathi > Hi folks! > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > -Zorin the Lynx, and "His Royal Greyness", Lynxie Vino's pretty normal in the litterbox, but it's once he's finished his business that the fun begins. He loves to run over to his scratching post and give it a really good scratch while wiggling his butt. Then he zooms around the house a few times. Dennis and I have taken to imitating him after we have had a very satisfying bathroom session. Dennis coming out of the bathroom after having been in there for a looooong time, then wiggling his butt and scratching the post has come to mean "It's stinky in there so use the upstairs one if you have to" ;-) -- Britta "There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast." -- Unknown Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album > Vino's pretty normal in the litterbox, but it's once he's finished his > business that the fun begins.

Joy Welcome back, Zorin! Soncek has a covered litterbox, so I do not see exactly what he does in there, but he jumps out really happy afterwards also.
