Look how much space is needed for a really good dig before elimination. This is the space we want. This is the space we choose when we have the option of going out of doors on a nicely prepared seed bed in a garden.
Now look at what most people give their cat - a miserably small
litter tray. We often have to stand outside the tray in order to have the room to do a proper dig. Sometimes it is even worse and the small tray has a top to it so that we can barely turn out.
And turning to look at what we have done, before neatly covering it up, is natural behaviour.
Worse still a recent survey of UK pet owners showed that 64% of the owners who had more than one cat only put down one litter tray. Normal deposits for a litter tray would be between 3-5 dumps (both kinds) so a single tray would be filthy very soon.
Give us one tray per cat. And one extra just in case.
Give us the space we need.....
And, purlease, clean up twice a day.
We agree! When we lived in the city and could not go outside, Mom had one litter box for each of us and an extra. Here in the middle of nowhere, where we can go outside we still have 2 in the house and they have been used during this extreme cold snap. When we use the box, we tell our human to scoop too! There is nothing worse than a box with a lump in it! AWESOME! Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, George. Wise words. Little kit June has one "big" box just for her and sometimes it even needs a 3x per day emptying or she will swat her busyness all about as she's quite particular and tidy!
