And it's fun to torment the mother-in-law now by telling her we still use it for making cookies.

SignatureWayne Boatwright @¿@¬ _____________________ Good idea, hopwever Grace is also blind from high blood pressure..she can find the box fine...but, I think a ramp would throw her for a loop... Thanks for the idea Elaine > Oh pshaw, on Thu 15 Jun 2006 02:51:16p, Elaine Debet-Fricke meant to > say...

Bless her! SignatureWayne Boatwright @¿@¬ _____________________ Make a little "frame" of 2x4's (or some other dimension that would suit her needs) that would surround the box. That would provide a step all around the box >our 19 yo cat is very arthritic and having a difficult time getting in and >out of the littler box..does anyone know of anything that would hold litter >but not have such high sides that we could use >thanks for any help Look into dog litter boxes.. They are open on one side, and I use it for my arthritic cat http://www.doglitter.com/Getpage.aspx?ContentID=234 She also hates to pee in litter, so we have taken to using puppy training pads (makes for a fun conversation when you are checking out "aww.. you have a puppy??.. nope.. just an old arthritic cat who hates using litter" :) > our 19 yo cat is very arthritic and having a difficult time getting in and > out of the littler box..does anyone know of anything that would hold > litter > but not have such high sides that we could use > thanks for any help |
