i was stunned today when my sister in law told me that she moved her cats litter box to her backyard. she waits until her indoor cat scratches at the door to open it, the cat goes outside to use it, and then goes back in.
apparently, the scent bothers her. but id be worried about leaving it outside and some random cat using it. or falling asleep early and not realizing my cat hasnt used her box before i go to bed.
she says she uses it once before they go to sleep, and then she doesnt need it till the next day. which is odd, because i scoop in the morning and my cat uses her box. shes a stay at home mom, though she sometimes stays out of the house during the day.
not only that, my cat gets really antsy whenever i take out her box to give it a thorough cleaning, i dont even take long, but as soon as i put it down, she jumps in. lol even without litter she'll start scratching for me to hurry.
i just worry her cat will panic one day and use her living room as her box. lol which will lead it to getting used to doing that rather than using her box. i didnt say anything because its not my business, but it was hard not to say something.
