Bought
*and* returned that one, Barb! No one wanted anything to do with
it!
You'd
have thought I was trying to put Katyis in the bath when I tried to show him how
to use it. Screamed his little furry head off. Surprised the police didn't show
up.

hey, I saw another box that might help you, it's a TOP entry covered box -
also helps prevent doggies getting their tootsie roll treats...

=00hmm, one of my sister's kitties was something like that - she was in the box, but her butt wasn't....I'm going to be adding a 2nd box like it to the household and I'm going to ! devise (or buy) a privacy screen as well, because Smoky is really really sensitive about using the facilities alone. He MUST be alone - he gets really ticked off if he's using the facilities and someone comes in and if someone else is there, he will go somewhere else, because he always waits until the last second because he had to have his butt wiped after every bm for years because of his bloody diarrhea.

I think I may have to hold out for one like this but covered tho--because the covered one Tiger uses now, while not long enough in my view, *is* high at the back -- it's prob also 11"--and going by what meets my eyes twice-daily when I remove the lid, it's clear the lid is a vital component---vital for (semi-)civilized living at any rate..

Subject: RE: Kerry and TigerKerry, I just got a new box and it's not covered, but the sides are 11" high (23.4"long and 18.25" wide). Here's a link - I got it at PetsMart, but it's Rubbermaid and should be available at other places.
"MacKenzie, Kerry N." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:FUnny you should mention the Home Depot cement mixer Nina---I went that
route for about 6 months earlier this! year. As you know it's not a
covered box; what happened was Tiger did his business (consistently)
right at one end of the box and frequently spilled over. I threw it away
and went back to the biggest covered box I could find.
Wh! ich brings me to a Q that's been puzzling me for ages.
There is plenty of choice of long litter boxes in pet stores *without*
covers.
But the same length of litter box *with* covers seems not to exist? I've
looked in Foster and Smith catalogues too---nothing there either. Does
anyone know where they can be found?
Considering you're supposed to provide a box that's at least one and a
half times the length of the cat I find this odd--that the only type
readily available is uncovered.
Any info on finding a loooooong covered litter box appreciated!

Ha! No, I'm not a cat, I just try and think like one, (or a dog, or a
bird, or any animal I want to relate too). I think the kitties in my!
life do think I'm a huge clumsy cat sometimes! Especially when I mimic
their vocalizations. I tell them all the time, I'm sorry I'm not as
graceful in my movements as they are.
Something else that I didn't mention to Kerry... Sometimes cats that
are "picky" about their litter, will use a bigger box more reliably. I
have a couple of jumbo boxes that I got at Home Depot. They're actually
the pans that are used for mixing small amounts of cement. They're dirt
cheap and they work great for nice big litterboxes. Also, some kitties
don't like using a communal litterbox, it is after all a way of marking
territory. Adding more boxes, in different locations sometimes helps.
If our little man Cotton has ac! cidents only when he's not feeling well,
then I don't think it's behavioral. Poor little sprite!
