Thread: Bad litter tray habits - help needed!

ah yes, MC-puberty (growin' too big for the box). We had a heckuva time with Dakota. As I recall, that's when the "poo-skids" started too! We weren't very successful in keeping the britches trimmed either -- used the vet a couple of times.

Like others, we got bigger boxes and keep them very clean. If the box has been used (by brother Blue, who thinks it's a big sandbox to play in), Dakota seems to pace & circle more. We also keep wipes handy in case there are any skids left on the side of the box. We've found that the cleaner and larger the box, the less mess he makes. Of course, some of the problem seems to be growing pains - as now that he's 5, we hardly have any problems (fingers crossed). The digging and circling has never stopped - we don't call him "Diggin' McSquiggin" for nothing.

Good luck!
