Well, I hope this is it, please send good vibes and cross your fingers!
I haven’t wanted to be one of those bloggers [ha ha, I’m a blogger] who devotes too many posts to my animals [one day I’ll tell you about the menagerie I have had through the years, some of you will be surprised, others, not so much!]. I am down to only two cats, and as we know, I don’t live alone, so I can’t be the crazy cat lady! Now, when I was still in Atlanta, in my house and had three cats, I still wasn’t the crazy cat lady, but I knew if I brought another one in the house I would be, so there!
I started off with one cat years ago, with one litter box, then I got another cat, still only one litter box. The first cat was no longer with us and I got 2 cats, with three cats, I now had 2 litter boxes. I know, you should have one more box than cats, that’s a lot of litter boxes, I was good with two. One ran away, down to two.
Last summer, a friend needed a home for a cat, I agreed to take her on. This cat needed to be alone, more details another time. Well, this cat decided to use several locations in the house other than the litter box, so I got a third one, thought it helped? Not so much. She was not long for my family, she’s now much happier with someone else.
When we moved to Colorado, we came with two cats. We are in a two bedroom apartment, luckily to have a laundry room, wahoo! A place for the litter box, yes, litter box, singular. Someone…not saying who [and not anyone walking on two legs] was using the floor of the laundry room as a litter box. So, I gave in and got another box, apparently, this did not help! The younger of the two, we are trying to figure out if something is wrong, as DCM has seen her sitting on the edge of the litter box peeing OUTSIDE the box, did she miss on purpose? I don’t know, but I am tired of yelling, rubbing noses in it, bleach, paper towels and cleaner!
It’s a laundry room people…enough room for a washer, dryer and one or two people standing in it, not exactly the largest room in the place. I gave up finally and picked up a third litter box and we’re in day three of three litter boxes and there have been no special treats anywhere [well, that I have found] fingers crossed.
So…three litter boxes it is, as I said, GRRR and if I need more…anyone want a cat? [keep your fingers crossed for us!]
