My myLot kitty

I love nearly all cats, there times when I get a bit unhappy with Flower, she's a bit retarded, doesn't seem to understand what cat litter is for, and its why she can't be rehomed.

@ElicBxn Does Flower use the litter box more when it's fresh? Where does she have her accidents? There could be several reasons for her problem. One, she doesn't like the granules. Some are really painful to step on. I've stepped on some In my bare feet and even with my going bare foot most all the time those granules really really hurt to step on. I quit using them immediately! I now fdo a "step test" on the litter to make sure it's ground fine enough. Second she might not like the scented litter. I've tried brands that are supposed to be deoderized, and all they are are scented to the point of being toxic pollutants! Also she might not like the box. It could be too small or not deep enough. It's kind of a experiment in kitty potties and giving into their desires. Thinking on it, she might not like where the box is in the house. I ended up with 4 litter boxes in the house before it burned down. I discovered that if a person has more than one cat they may need more than one litter box. I was cleaning them every day so my fur babies would have a clean toilet. (I hate using public restrooms because they can be absolutely filthy!) I had one box in my storage room, one in the studio, one in the bath tub, and one in a secluded corner of my bedroom. It made a little work for me daily, but less work in the long run. I wish I lived closer to you, I would take Flower in a heartbeat! I've had cats all my life and right now it's really miserable without one. I am giving into Bill's way of doing things because I'm a guest in his house. Come the time I have my own home again it'll be kitty haven again. As one friend so aptly put it in a sign she made for me "Toni's cat house". I'll end up living up to the sign I'm sure. But, back to Flower, I hope I'm able to help with her potty issues. It isn't natural for a cat to not use the box, it isn't from retardation either...it sounds more like a supplier issue.

@BearArtistLady is this "Loverbear"? And, no, she'll pee in the box, but she seldom poops in the box. She kind of rotates where she poos, under the table isn't as bad as in front of doors or the refrigerator.

Yeah, we love him. He's always been less than graceful, but he's very sweet.

We don't think so, he's not the smartest cat I've ever met, but he isn't real stupid, just clumsy. He won't jump in our laps because he missed so much as a younger cat, and he didn't like hurting us.

@BarBaraPrz He really is very sweet.

@ElicBxn How thoughtful of him.

I have many of those, Flower is my smallest adult cat at the moment - we are thinking Opal is going to be smaller - but we see her up in the eyebrow window frequently. Maybe a bit less now that she's nearing 10, but she would rather go up than down anytime. She's on top of the fridge a lot this winter, its warmer than the floor.

He is, he's very loving.

@ElicBxn He is lovely.

My mom had a cat who fell off the ironing board and a window sill - and didn't land on her feet. This was only a few inches, but it was a big box. I don't know what else he's fallen off of recently, but we know he has failed to make jumps enough he's afraid to jump in our laps.

He's only 10 and a few months. We had one cat that we were told was 10 and she lived another 10 and a half years.

Yes he does. He's very sweet, even if he's a klutz.
