I made a rather disgusting discovery the other day. Brady's three (count 'em, three!) litter boxes are in an unfinished room full of junk we are storing that someday will become a downstairs bathroom. DH and I thought he was quite a stinky little guy, because the cat pee smell was overwhelming. So I went in and not only emptied/cleaned the litterboxes, but also removed and shook out the throw rug that was underneath. Then I noticed that Bradyboy had peed on a ladder that was leaning up against the window. OK I thought, a cat can't tell that these old hunks of wood are valuable to humans. So DH put it outside and only grumbled a little.
But then I saw something I never would have expected. I had taken one of the lids from one of the litterboxes and kind of laid it on its side NEXT to the box. This was to catch the flying litter that Monseiur Brady flings every which way after he has finished his business. Well there was about 1/8 cup of cat pee in that thing. Holy moly I thought they liked to cover it! Blechhh, we took that thing outside, emptied it and left it there to get the smell out. So a couple of days later (this morning actually) I see that Brady has peed on the floor next to the box.
All in all this is not too bad, I mean it is confined to that room. But is there a way I can make it easy for him to pee somewhere or in something that is more convenient for me? He has THREE boxes, and poo is almost no problem, maybe once a month there will be a poo outside the box.
