Oh boy did I get a mental image or what!

Yup my kitties do this too!

My Baby Kitty likes to watch me scoop the box, jumps in right after and sometimes during my scooping procedures.

My "revenge"? As he does his thing I stay there and tap him on the head

Ticks him off every time.

My cats aren't nearly as bad as they used to be with this type of thing. However, I am still supervised when I do a complete litter change.

Oh Cosette is SUCH a stinker!
I use covered litter boxes for the kits. One day, I was cleaning Cosette's litter box, so I took the top off and laid it upside-down next to me. Cosette immediately jumped into the top and sat down. I just thought she was watching me clean- but as soon as she stood up, I noticed that she had PEED in the litter box top! I guess that was her way of saying, "Hey, quit messing with my potty!"

Litter box behavior is a bit different in my house. I have four boxes for three cats and have to scoop at least twice and often three times a day. Because Red Cat DEMANDS a clean box. If he isn't satisfied with how clean they are, even if I have already scooped, he protests in his very loud voice, and my nerves can't take that. So he often tells me when I have to scoop, and also when to change the litter. Usually the latter is at about the time I would have changed it anyway, but occasionally, especially if anyone has had diarrhea or loose stools, he informs me that it really needs to be changed sooner, as early as four or five days. When he demands that it be changed, he tries to wait until I wash the box and put fresh litter in, but there are, of course, times he just can't hold it that long and stoops to using one of the boxes not yet changed after all.

Thankfully, the other two will use a box even if it has been used once and not yet scooped.

Either it's time to play or it reminds

them they need to go potty.

And now that I have 3 cats, not only is it more to scoop.. but more kitties to take out of the litter box as I'm trying to clean it.

*sigh* Does anyone else have this problem??

The 5 kittens I have come running when I am cleaning there's it's like gosh guys comeon this is so amazing

I have no idea what they are thinking. But I have a few older cats that will be in them the minute they are cleaned, go figure
