Berach, my 4 month old kitten is getting HUGE. He's already almost 8lbs. and he's not fat at all, just a big kitty, muscular.
He's recently started "missing" the cat box. I've watched him do it... he gets in the box, scratches and hunkers down but the way he sits in the box sometimes his booty hangs over a little bit and he'll go on the floor instead! then he scratches in the box, kicking litter onto the floor. I'm pretty sure the box is too small for him now but I've started taking steps to train them to use the toilet (the box is on a stack of phone books right now next to the toilet) and don't really want to buy a bogger box since they won't be using it soon...
any suggestions? how can I get him to "turn around"?
btw, it isn't every time but it does happen almost once a day now that he's gotten bigger...
p.s. he is healthy... and has been to the vet as recently as last week, no other changes in behaviour at all.
