I have two cats. Somehow I was chosen by the most opinionated cats on the planet. They share a single litter box and do fine as long as I keep it clean. Along with the puppy, thats three animals that follow my every foot step. We really lucked out with them. We got them when they were 8 weeks old and were already completely litter box trained.
I'm sure that choice of litter type and brand is a religious issue like the choice of anti-virus or web browser or OS, but I loved the super clumping type it made our job easy and the cats never complained by not using it. The trick for success is removing the clumps frequently and regularly. Never let a litterbox ferment. It doesn't age gracefully.
Clumping for sure!
mine were brought up on wood pellet, The shelter lady kindly sent her hubby round with some to replace what we had, until we could get hold of some wood pellet ourself, and they complain if they get anything else. I do love sweeping up sawdust.
I am laughing and nodding my head as I read through these responses. What a hoot!
My cat is causing my household security issues. I live in an NYC apartment with a fire safety door on it. Basically, even when fully locked, a child only need to pull down on the handle for the door to open from the inside. Wonderful in the case of a fire and an unaccompanied child. Bad for the cat, because he has figured out how to open the front door. So many times I have arrived home from being away for several hours to find the apartment door is open!! I apprehensively enter half expecting some intruder to still be there deciding which of my items they want to relive me of...only to find Kennedy (the cat) looking out for me to feed him, as if he was starving or something. I also wake up in the middle of the night often to find the apartment door is open, with the chain on it so it is limited and no one could enter, still....! It just so happens that the bathroom door works the same way as the apartment entrance door, and he learned how to pull down the lever to get into the bathroom his first month or so living with us...because he likes to study EVERY move we make,...follow us everywhere... He loves his wet food treats and seems to think we don't know where the gtocery store is so he thinks that opening the door to the apartment will facilitate more wet food more quickly. He has no idea in his cat brain that he might also allow someone in to do us untold harm...this cat is crazy! Luckily, we live on the 5th floor of a relatively safe building (across the street from a Precinct). Adding another lock seems to be the only solution, but I suspect that isnt allowed due to the fire safety issues which led to the installation of the current door in the first place.
I worry one day our luck will run out. 'Til then, I love this curious and clever little animal. Cats are very smart when it comes to getting the things they want. And they never second guess themselves about what they want. Fascinating creatures.
In search of a Kitty Locksmith!
I've found controlled (or uncontrolled) outbursts are a good way to deter your cat. Let her get comfy and secure laying near (or on) you then..."YOU GOTTA BE %^$#&^ KIDDIN' ME?!?!" Needless to say, my cat no longer attempts to snuggle (or be in the room) when I am playing the Xbox...
oh lols, you have a clever kitty who wants to help possible would be burglars by opening doors, I have one who embarrasses visitors by opening the batroom door when said visitor was caught short. Doors are those lever handles, and are well worn, so if a heavy shove doesn't open the doors, then hanging on the handle does, and then she gets a swing as well as the door opens.
My baby and professional bed warmer as we woke up this morning. I got him as a sick baby from a shelter, they were going to put him down. I gave him antibiotics and he has led a happy healthy life and is apparently a marbled Bengal, an expensive cat! He only has one litter box and is good at using it. :)
Such a cute kitty!
And its also interesting the way the SSS looks on the tip of the nose. If I'd seen it as a render I'd have assumed it was exaggerated, but no; tissues really do glow sometimes.
Heh, I keep going 'that render is awful' and then I realize I'm looking out the window.
Skies and clouds sometimes look really fake.
I did do a little fine tuning in an iPhone app, enhancing detail and sharpness to the whole image, and noticing now that the chin is a bit blown out and I guess it made the nose extra glowy! Actually, it is the IPhone camera itself that is blowing up the highlights, it's not that sunny, but an overcast day!
Exhibit A. lol.
Having always had both around my observation is: dogs think you own them - cats think they own you.
Bad Kitten..
Exactly the same. Half naked guests in your bathrooom, likely both calmed and equally troubled to discover it was a cat that peeped in on them! I think that Kennedy discovered the handle's function from trying to bounce around on it as a kitten. Do you think I should try putting a masking tape sticky side upward or something on the door handle to discourage him from this behavior? We've used the keep away sprays and while effective, they stink so that they drive humans away as well. Most of the time we end up using items to block his access to the door, which we humans then have to navigate around upon re-entry. Not to mention its a pain to set up an item against the door (usually a hamper) when leaving the apartment for more than a few minutes. How does one train a cat NOT to do something? I'm open to suggestions.
you cannot lock him out that room?
I have allways been astounded, how smart some cats are. My mother's cat used to be very smart. Not only that it try to use the door handles. It also knew where the cat treats are stored in the kitchen and tried to open the drawer. One day my mother showed some super8 movies of me on a projector and the cat tried to catch that funny figure (me) on the screen. After it realised that it cannot be caught, the cat went behind the screen and figured out, that there is nothing either. Now there was the amaizing part, that cat attacked the projector's lense then.
Nope. The only other doors in the apartment are to the bathroom and to the closets. NYC.
We have 3 cats, all boys and they share a single litter box. It sits in the bathroom, but I guess they're so comfortable here, they tend to not cover their poop. >_< So we always know when someone has dropped a load. I wonder though if that's a male cat thing, since our previous cat Sophia, was female and always covered her stuff. It's so strange the differences in having male cats versus female ones. I love the three boys we have now but good lord are they clingy. Always want to be on me or near me and wanting to be pet constantly. Sophia was much more independent, yeah she might have incedently napped in the same room as her humans, but she didn't have a constant need for attention.
I have to admit I have no idea how to stop it. I seem to have always had cats that know how to open doors, and always seem to have had those lever handles which are easy for them to open. 2 or 3 cats back I had a cat who was born feral. Sweet little ginger tom, who soon discovered how to jump, hang on the handle, swing the bedroom door open, climb the wardrobe and then dive bomb the bed. If that didn't get us up then he would jump from the bed to the window sill and stand up to the curtains and manage to push them open so the sun (if it was shining) would be straight in my eys, as the bedroom window in that place faced East. Amazingly he lived to be 20, nearly 21 years old, moved with us to 4 different addresses and thotoughly enjoyed the last years of his life at Chohole Gate Lodge, where he was over the moon because he had a giant Kitty litter tray outside the back gate. The Park said it was a bunker for the Golf Course, but Kelly said it was his.
I wish my cat would use the outdoors. She comes inside to use the potty :)
My two don't like going out much at all. It only takes a bigger than normal bird to fly over and they make a break for the back door to go in again. It probably will only be a magpie or a crow, but it is too big for them. I can only image that sometime in their traumatic kittenhood, before they ended up in the shelter, they had a bad experience with one of the raptors that are quite prevalent up here.
When my wife and I went to the Tutankhamun exhibit the museum displayed a box made of soapstone that was approximately 3x3 ft and was intricately carved. Some noble had it made to hold the remains of his cat. It was really fun to see.
A special Kitty casket :)
