Days 14-16

OK, so other than the oops previously mentioned, there have been a couple more. Once ,poop on the floor next to the toilet, and just this morning little nuggets in the bathtub! Now, it seems that both these times I found the mistakes in the morning when I got up. Both times the dish was full of poo and pee, so I am hoping that they are just disgusted with the stink and dirtiness of the red ring. I swear they go to the bathroom for four cats at night.

I am going to try an experiment. I have put on the amber disc, hoping that when they decide to go lots during the middle of the night, they may get most of it down the hole and therefore reduce the stink and dirtiness of the device. I hope that it will keep them from going in other areas of the bathroom. If it fails after tonight, I'll go back to the red disc and figure out a feeding schedule or a middle of the night cleaning appointment.

Included is a photo of Maya checking out the new ring about 20 minutes after I installed it. She is so funny. She climbed up onto the seat like she was gonna go, but one of her back legs fell through the hole and got wet. She did stay on the seat and investigated the hole and the water. By the way, she is mesmerized by water and loves to play with it. Then after staring at the water for a bit, she decided to nibble on the wheat litter. At least I cleaned the device and put fresh litter in. After she jumped down, she located a couple grains of litter and nibbled at those too. What a crazy girl!
