Three little kittens and their new litterbox

[parsleysage]

I sure do hope someone shares my sense of humor

Background: Over in the Care & Grooming forum, I am wailing and gnashing my teeth over my awful litter situation. Combining several different suggestions, I got a big Sterilite bin, transformed it into a top-loader, picked up a different litter, and dumped 40 pounds of it into the box. So far, so good!

I introduced the kittens to the new box and several hours later they have all used it, which is great! I cleaned up the old boxes (I am going to leave one out with new litter just in case) and set up the bathroom again and decided to take another pic for the thread.

Here is a virtual flipbook of about 30 seconds in my life with three kittens under 6 months:

Wow, what a great idea! Glad it's kitty approved!

Your babies are a hoot! And Joni is fitting right in with the boys, isn't she? Love your box idea!

(And we may have to use it, too, as we have a kitty who loves to pee out over everything. It makes an incredible mess sometimes and this would be a purrrrrfect solution!!)

Thanks!

Yes, Joni is one of the gang and is actually picking up some of Garfunkel's bad habits

She is a princess for sure! But then she puts that beautiful black velvet mask up against my cheek and I just melt

I thought these pictures were so funny because I took them all in under 30 seconds - just goes to show you how hyper and wiggly the kittens are!

How nice of you to give them their own bathroom

So playful and fun to watch crew, your kitties are so adorable.

I LOVE that idea for the litter box. I have litter all over the floor, Kairi loves to play as well as poop in the litter.

3 young cats in a bathroom=barrel of monkeys!!

I have never thought to put the hole in the top! You will have to let us know if it continues to work. You may have just created the new way to do cat litter!

I was just thinking of the insanity it must be to have THREE KITTENS! lol yikes!

Glad the new set-up is a hit! Looks like bathroom time is fun time!!

Someone else had mentioned the plastic tub idea quite awhile ago and I thought it was brilliant,so I have been using the tubs now and it's wonderful!I don't use scoopable,just the regular clay....one bag does 2 tubs.At least that's what I do.Very easy to take them outside periodically and hose them out,give a good scrub.....they clean up really well.I saw one similar at Petsmart...more fancy of course but the same principle,for quite a bit more than the $4.97 I've paid.I have yet to have anybody refuse to use them....and I have doxies,too,and they can't get in them either...an added bonus!

I know this was directed at someone else but Doxies are Dachshunds. It's just a variation on the name... like Tortie for Tortoiseshell kitties. My aunt had them. Wonderful dogs.
