Subject: Why litterbox in bathroom? Author: Shannie [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 01:23:40 06/27/01 Wed In reply to: Jo 's message, "Thanks, I know how to introduce them..." on 00:03:13 06/27/01 Wed Why would you have to put the litterbox in the bathroom if you're able to use your spare bedroom for the cat? If the cat is kept in the bedroom initially (by him/herself, to get used to the place), how would you know WHEN to let cat go to litterbox? Are you afraid about having a smell in the bedroom? If so, that litter from WallyWorld is dynamite stuff.....never an odor, and having 5 litterboxes in my spare room, I'd know! (So would my mom or sis, they're not animal lovers and they have good sniffers lol) S [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

But once it got comfortable in the place and had the run of the place, it would be moved to the bathroom. Cleaning litter out of carpet just isn't fun, as I learned with the foster kitty. If I could rig up some guaranteed "no kick" barrier I might keep it in the bedroom... I just can't stand litter on carpet. We shall see! I have a couple months to think it all out. Jo

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Try this, Author: Shannie [Edit] Date Posted: 08:51:22 06/27/01 Wed 1) Get one of those litterboxes with the HOOD on it. Priced reasonably at WalMart. Start out without the hood on it, so kitty gets used to litterbox/isn't freaked out by hood. When kitty is used to it, put hood back on. These litterboxes are higher up on the sides and less chances of cat kicking out litter. I have 5 of them. If you get a tiny kitty and that type is "too high" for cat to get into, get the other kind at WallyWorld....it has sort of a "lip" on the top of it (I use this for BeeJoo)...just a plain box with a top part that sorta has edges on it so it's hard for litter to fly out. Works really well. 2. While you're at WallyWorld (haha) get yourself a cheap rug...I use the kind with a rubber backing.....maybe 3-4 feet wide by whatever. Place this UNDER the litterbox..then, any litter that does fly out, it falls on the mat.....then all ya do is lift the mat up by one end and all the litter falls into one pile. I have 2 of these in my litterbox room. Really helps. If it's big enough to cover the area, combined with a box like above, you really shouldn't have litter in the carpet.... S
