Yes it is an awkward subject but an important one as any cat owner can tell you. Nothing makes things more unpleasant than a cat who won’t use a box for whatever reason. Cats are very clean creatures by nature and yet they do have their peccadelos when it comes to the litter box.
Some cats don’t like crystals or pellets or anything coarse.
Some cats don’t like sand.
Some cats don’t like other cats using their box.
Fortunately, we don’t have any cats in residence who object to pellets. We use the ceramic pellets that get changed once a month that are underlain by a n absorbent pad that gets changed once a week. This cuts down on the bulk of trash going out — important to us because here in Portland, household trash is only picked up every other week.
This is an Open Thread — feel free to talk about anything relating to pets.
PWB Peeps is a group that posts a daily diary and nightly open thread for animal lovers. We share photos, seek & give advice about pet health and behavior issues, support each other in times of sadness and stress, celebrate together when times are good, and on most days have an inordinate amount of fun.
