I've never seen a kitten do a potty dance until Frankie lol!! He waits and plays until the last second, then runs like a madman for the litter box sending litter flying, he then does his business in record time and is off to play again :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03057092431306711599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647675683976633621.post-13205557148645561082012-10-29T12:15:09.693-07:002012-10-29T12:15:09.693-07:00Thanks very much for the comments and suggestions ...Thanks very much for the comments and suggestions - and the frankness. :-) Langleyhttp://canidaepetfood.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647675683976633621.post-35741997163041078912012-10-26T19:54:34.753-07:002012-10-26T19:54:34.753-07:00Pine pellets are, well, let's be frank -- they...Pine pellets are, well, let's be frank -- they smell lovely and they do the job very well and they are compostable but man oh man, when they get de-pelletified (i.e. peed-on) do they get everywhere. I mean *everywhere*. That's enough frankness. I use an old shower-mat in front of the box. Kitties have no problem stepping on it; in fact, Barney actually sweeps it with his paws (like as if digging, but not) so likely at least some of what gets stuck to his paws gets deposited on the mat & not, say, on the countertops (whoops, more frankness than might be entirely palatable for a sensitive audience). The mat doesn't solve the problem but it works to trap some of the stuff. Better than the cat-mat I bought designed for the purpose, which appears to be fairly useless & fairly impossible to shake out. Shower-mat shakes just fine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647675683976633621.post-5173660955988792312012-10-26T01:53:55.493-07:002012-10-26T01:53:55.493-07:00We have the same thing here.

Cat litters are absorbent and the clumping litters are even worse, so if it went down the drain it could cause a serious drain problem.Marie Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15838079550433002806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647675683976633621.post-58785674411966033222012-10-25T12:24:22.313-07:002012-10-25T12:24:22.313-07:00We deal with the litter, same as you.

A little swimming pool under the litter box sounds good but that would take up tons of space and since I have five litter boxes, we would all be living in the litter box.

When they get bad, I take them to the car wash and power hose them off. :) I am lucky in that everyone seems to be ok walking on them. However, my parents came over and my dad decided he was going to "fix" a few things and bought a blue tarp and put it on the floor and up the walls a little ways. Not great to look at, but it does keep the litter out of the carpet.Random Felineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02591546634183113556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647675683976633621.post-72647510918713917782012-10-25T07:19:49.427-07:002012-10-25T07:19:49.427-07:00I have 3 litter boxes inside (2 in the basement an...I have 3 litter boxes inside (2 in the basement and one upstairs in a spare room), and one out in our little enclosed garden.<br /><br />Derry's pretty tidy in the box, but Nicki pees in the left front corner, regardless of the size of the box, and he DIGS to China, if you'll pardon the old expression (I'm dating myself).<br /><br />How I deal with litter tracking is via a broom, a few times a day, and lots of vacuuming.
