Where do you keep your cat's litter box?
And what do you put under/around it to catch the stray litter that gets dragged out?
Mine is in the laundry room which is in the back of the house. I'm not looking to move it, but I am looking for ideas to keep the litter somewhat contained. My fatkitty just gets in there and tosses the stuff around. He is sooo messy!
Litter Box Issues
She is showing classic signs of a UTI. She should be checked out by a vet as urinary issues can be deadly in cats if not treated as soon as possible.
I live in the country and all my cats have always been indoor cats. One lived to the age of 21.
What is your reasoning for allowing her to roam outside? Is she UTD with vaccinations? (as in all her kitty vaccs, nothing more)
Maybe try a different kitty litter
We took in a stray some years ago. We had to get her to use a litter box because we were moving. She hated the litter box, but then we changed from regular kitty litter to Arm & Hammer Super scoop (the kind where the urine and poopies ball up and easy to pick out). The litter is soft and she really loves it (I think maybe also it was soft like the outside dirt she used to go in). As a side note, it smells great and when you walk in the house you cannot tell we have a cat or litter box.
New litter of kitties..in my CAR
So we were getting ready to go out last night and as my son is getting in the car, he sees one of the outdoor cats under the front seat...in the process of giving birth. (I left my window down after telling everyone else to keep theirs up so the cats would stay out!) I now have 4 teeny tiny kittens under my car seat. My question is would be all right to move them? Thankfully I don't have anywhere to go this morning. I've had a lot of cats over the years, but never ran into this before.
Megamother, litter of 14
I saw her and was thinking how much more could she possibly try to look like Angelina Jolie, the hair, the enhanced lips? Megamamma is going to have interview tomorrow morning but from what I have heard already don’t feel like I will climb out of bed early to hear. Now the doctor responsible for that fiasco is being investigated. This mamma is unemployed, living in a 3 bedroom home with her mother and father who filed for bankruptcy last year with a total of 14 kids? Six kids were far too much for that small of a home much less 14. I care not what she says, love alone does not provide for even the basic of needs of this army. In watching television they have shown some of what the interview is going to be like and the women sounds like she really, really needs some professional help. If family and children services are not involved, I think they are going to have to delve deeply into this case.
not covering litter
I was told cats who do not cover in the litter box were taken away from their mother too soon, the mother teaches them to cover. I have five cats and all cover except one, my Himalayan, stray I trapped, but I bet he wasn't always a stray, and he probably was sold too young. Just a possible explanation.
So precious...now about this litter for dogs
What is the name of it and where can I find it? I have never heard of litter for dogs. This is just the best news I have heard all day!
I think you were supposed to use CLEAN, NEW cat litter! nm

We got a kitten about a month ago. She was litter box trained and... SM
used her litter box just fine, but out of the blue she has pooped on one of my blankets, peed in my laundry basket, and this evening peed on my bath towel right in front of me! I had just gotten out of the shower, taken the towel off and dropped it in the floor and when I turned around, she was peeing on it!
What is up with that? I don't know much about cats being that I'm more of a dog person, but she doesn't act sick and she's playful. I just don't get it!
Clumping litter does not require a liner
Mine hated any lining in their box and tore it scratching to cover anyway. I use clumping litter only, which doesn't require a liner. Litter absorbs it before it hits the bottom. Cats can be finicky about the types of litter. I left A&H alone because of the dust it has, even thought it's not supposed to have. I use Tidy Cat, clumping type, and they go for that with no problem.
The not so nice furry has had a litter of kittens
but age wise, not so sure about that. The people at the HS probably do not know also, she might have been a stray. I am really surprised she was out at the back of my house last night, out again today as she had only been here inside for such a short period. My coworker and I are going to get a trap from the shelter and get her fixed and hopefully then let her be happy as a mouser. I hate the fact she will have to be outside for awhile. My felines all inside, never out and not only dogs around but also cat eating coyotes and I am in the city limits. People here told to keep animals up.
Totally bury them in cat litter for a few weeks. Really works! Use

I'd go with either kitty litter buckets or 5-gallon white buckets.
My MIL tried milkjugs but her plants got too big.
Here's a good picture similar to what I do. Hope the link works.
