Thread: Odd toilet observations?

Damn I forgot there was another Buddy on here, I'm surrounded now as there is a black and white coonie just moved in over the road called Buddy as well.

pre Litter Kwitter my Buddy refused point black to put his paws on litter, or sand. He would hover over the edge of the tray and yes it was messy :( He would happily spend half and hour pawing the floor to cover up what he had done. Now he just likes to jump on the loo just as the morning alarms go off and stay there for ages - I swear he has the newspaper delivered in there with him :( He does like to take a wee in the front flower bed and he does this tripod thing where he only stands on 3 paws but changes which one is off the floor and then normally falls over in the mud and looks all proud of him self at the state he gets in ..... please let the new kittens be normal litter box trained

My guy seems to love playing in his liter. He'll spend 5-10 minutes in there banging around. The entire box will shake. He'll come out when I walk in, so I've never caught what pose he makes while making. Thankfully the box has a lid or I'd find litter all over the place. When I lift the lid to dispose of his poo, I find that he's pushed all the litter to one side and made a mound. Is this his pitcher's mound, his version of Mt. Everest, does he want to ski down this slope, is he playing "king of the world"? I just don't get it.

I use pine pellets for his liter. If one sticks to his paw, he'll fling it off and then chase it around on the floor, sometimes carrying it off in his mouth. Yuck factor for me - not so much for him.

CatsMom we have the same! A Mt. Everest every job! Why do they need to push the whole of the litter into this super mound? I'm sure there's a reason.

Yep, Dakota does the same. As he gets older (and bigger) his piles have also increased! We always find a present under the large heap of litter.

Aww bless! Their mommies have trained them well, and they are doing the best job they can of covering their doings. Good lads! x

We have a covered corner litter tray and Rasputin always sits in it with his head sticking out :D

My Buddy does the same thing!!!! Mt Everest!!!

We have got a covered tray and both of them have a wee at the front with their tails sticking out!! Then they turn round in the tray and Hector scratches at the sides while Roxy has a good scratch at the door. hen it comes to poop time Roxy goes at the front left hand side and Hector goes at the back right hand side then they repeat the scratch routine but for ages........If I was them I would want to come out of there fast given the stench!!!!
Since we have had the hooded tray and moved to silica litter neither of them bury their poo but as it goes down the loo as soon as it's done that does not matter.
I've got to say the silica litter copes well with two coonies wees and really holds the smell too.

The only problem with the tray being in the bathroom is that while Hector poops in a morning Roxy goes in the evening......she is very good at timing it for when I'm in the bath!
