Reasoning with him hasn't worked...

[telophase]

...so we're trying public shaming.




I doubt we'll have much headway with this, either.




[Sora is not ill. He just has Very Strong Opinions about what the state of his litterbox should be and has no compunctions about expressing said opinions. What we're actually trying is hooking the habit of scooping the box to the nightly habit of heating up the microwaveable heating pads, so it actually gets scooped daily, instead of when one of us remembers to check the laundry room.]

Yeah. A certain calico cat is given to similar strong opinions about her litter boxes.

Sora also had strong opinions about Toby and I moving in together. Well, at least someone peed on Toby's pillow once.

He's gotten much better about that, and now will solicit attention from Toby if I'm not there, but I'm still Favorite Person.

Uh-ohs... D:

We have Separation Anxiety Dog, who goes on pee-on-the-floor jags because we dared to go out to dinner. D:
And then he's fine for weeks on end. I don't even know. :smh:

My cat, however - she was sick, and still dragged herself over to the litter box to pee. But then again, she sometimes came running when you called her. She could be pretty unique on the Cat Spectrum, when she wanted to be.

Hee!

Nefer's main problem with the litterbox is that she had bad arthritis at the base of her spine and can't curl her butt under as much, and therefore it's quite often hanging over the side of the box when she goes. Which is why the litterbox that is not a Litter Robot sits on a washing machine pan covered in puppy pads. When she starts finding fabric items on the floor and going on them, I know she's got a UTI and take her in. (She had a persistent one for some months, but we eventually managed to get it knocked out.)
