My cat loves to scratch at the side of the little box, instead of scratching litter over her 'do'es. But this time it was interesting, and it's never a great surprise to wake up around 6:30 in the morning to find a strange creature in your litterbox. (I can't imagine how the cat felt, going in there with that thing in there.)
This bug is NOTHING like I've seen before... It was almost like a millipede, but with jointed legs, and it's body was much thinner. Needless to say, I a) killed it, it freaked me out and b) cleaned out the litter.
From the other things I've read, it seems that the litter gets bugs when it's been dirty for a while, but I try to clean the litter every other day. So I can't imagine where this guy came from.
After I'd killed him I flipped him over, and he had a tan-ish colored underside, unlike the brownish-blackish topside.
I hope this event doesn't repeat itself, but does anyone have any ideas -- at least to what kind of bug it was?
