Moxy sometimes likes lying under the soaker-pad in front of the cat-room litter-box. At first, I thought that finding the rumpled and displaced pad as often as I have was a sign of my cats playing around and under it. That still may be the case, but it also seems that the Mixer simply likes the feel of it against his body.
I wouldn’t mind it much, except that the pad is there not to catch an aim that has missed the box but to make removal of debris tossed from the box easier. As you can imagine, pushing and batting the pad about rather obviates its purpose.
Ironically, not only is Moxy a very clean cat, he himself throws about very little litter while using the box. Perhaps this is his way of showing that he can be like other cats.
Right, Brazil?
He must have decided no one else was using this for a napping spot and decided to take over. Now you need a catch pad for the catch pad.
ReplyDeleteWhat, you don't like the feel of kitty litter under your feet, all ground into the carpet? 😆
ReplyDeleteSince Moxy throws very little litter out of the litter box, perhaps he thinks the pad was intended to be used as a blanket.
ReplyDeleteThat was my thought!
DeleteI used a small just long enough throw rug right in front of the box. I have to fold and take it to shake out as I out the bag of used litter on the step till I go out to throw it away. IT's a pain but...it's all in one place. There is a little spill over from paws walking with it suck between toesies.
ReplyDeleteAhh...cats!
ReplyDeleteHe thinks it has been put there especially for him.
