In his last months, Piipo started to wet outsied the box, close by, but...well, so that area was a huge compilation of wee-wee pads, and towels. He did go in the box po]rpeer to poo. How strange. I think he waited too long to piddle. He also in his prime was an upright pee-er, and if it wasn't for a covered box, the walls would have had to be covered with the same wee-wee pads, LOL! He NEVER covered his poos, and when Minko was still with us, Minko would take on the duty of covering it for him, LOL!<br /><br />Litter issues are both funny and serious at the same time!Meezer's Mews & Terrieristical Woofshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04474970770415529999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-30722725612318248602021-04-26T10:24:15.851-07:002021-04-26T10:24:15.851-07:00Your litter-box adventures sound as interesting as...Your litter-box adventures sound as interesting as ours.John Bellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10946140614088069665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-47585954306535429302021-04-26T09:50:45.925-07:002021-04-26T09:50:45.925-07:00We have a very "High Squirter" who cause...We have a very "High Squirter" who caused us to switch to covered boxes years ago. At the time we had Buddy who was about 18# and 6 others so I got two large storage containers and cut two openings in each. The Great White, Rumpy, Still can get a good amount of litter on the floor so we got small rugs for in front and that helped. Of course Rumpy monstrous renderings of "The Blob" for years needing clean up of his nether region at least 2 times a week until his asthma steroids were needed at a level that slowed that up, slowed. He also produces gases that would do any dictator proud. Timmy likes to run in and drop off being chased by the almost cat sized loads he leaves at times. Ah we love them so the foul air is gone with a glance at them lounging in repose, almostTimmy Tomcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13608362455492496529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-62984786045485132792021-04-25T18:52:25.573-07:002021-04-25T18:52:25.573-07:00One Poppy poop was enough for me, facing the depos...One Poppy poop was enough for me, facing the deposits from 3 males daily is worthy of a medal.Poppy Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12271337805172036471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-32208601112404038292021-04-25T18:38:23.175-07:002021-04-25T18:38:23.175-07:00Oh John, it's taken me awhile to start writing...Oh John, it's taken me awhile to start writing this response as I've been laughing at the descriptions. I thought Renn was the stinky one until I read of Neville's abilities. OMG, it must be a real sh*t show around there some days. :)<br /><br />I'm grateful that the litterboxes (two rubber maid tubs and a smaller litter box) are in the depths of the basement as I am quite the distance from the offerings placed there. Sasha did use the small box the other day while I was cleaning the other two but he was kind enough to only wet. My son hasn't complained yet so either he's <br />"nose-blind) to it or the strategically placed plug-in air freshener is doing it's job.<br /><br />I'd say have fun, but I think that's not a possibility.Sakuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11508656442667275102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-27658006410407786172021-04-25T12:52:58.432-07:002021-04-25T12:52:58.432-07:00A haz-mat suit might be better.A haz-mat suit might be better.John Bellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10946140614088069665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-19964485340548006622021-04-25T12:48:34.675-07:002021-04-25T12:48:34.675-07:00I have a giant over-large, jumbo one too.

I did find a truly oversized litter box on Amazon some years back, so large it was challenging to clean it anywhere. I have three for Derry, all extra large or "giant" and so far so good. 🤞Keahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06809655107065918944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-8458410274926608472021-04-25T08:50:49.281-07:002021-04-25T08:50:49.281-07:00Poor Nev!

My new guy is a big cat (about the size and shape of a black bear cub,) who needs a big box. I ordered one on Amazon that was billed as "extra large," and the blasted thing turned out to be the size of a soup bowl.Undinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16214242522330278662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-6517629586489263552021-04-25T08:34:49.821-07:002021-04-25T08:34:49.821-07:00We had 3 identical litter boxes.

The large never seemed large enough, so my BIL who used to have a pet supplies business got us 3 bases for parrots cages and they really were large. We kept them in the garage with a cat door entrance to it. One only ever had pees in it, another ad poops, and the third must have been for emergency use if I hadn't scooped quickly enough as it was rarely used.<br />Poor Nev probably gets embarrassed leaving you such a stink. I know if Flynn did an extra smelly one he would run like his tail was on fire when he finished, but he would always cover first.Memories of Eric and Flynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07895995542393169845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-68127092258290136372021-04-25T07:39:48.561-07:002021-04-25T07:39:48.561-07:00We had to laugh out loud here because that all sou...We had to laugh out loud here because that all sounds so familiar!Brian's Home Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08809631273441407139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-1517432574699519822021-04-25T07:25:16.445-07:002021-04-25T07:25:16.445-07:00You raised a good point.

I kept getting larger and larger one and as she herself wrote in her blog a year ago, this one is termed "jumbo" which made her embarrassed and peeved at mancats reading that! It is crowded into its area..but it does her well as she can turn herself around. She has very long pantaloons and sometimes as she issues forth from the box she does so with hang-fires...a shooting term...a hanger-on then. But I call it a hang fire. Those drop wherever they please. I happen on them, and tissue it back to the box.

What a riot to read about their habits. And I know how cats are with the litter box, seems like every cat has a different way of using it. And then we it to clean up later.
